Comediile cu personaje limitate intelectual reprezinta un generator infailibil de rasete copioase. Acest film, semnat Francis Veber, ilustreaza prin excelenta reteta acestui stil burlesc. Thierry Lhermitte il interpreteaza pe rafinatul si, in egala masura, infatuatul publicist de meserie si farseur prin vocatie Pierre Brochant. In fiecare joi, la ora cinei, acesta participa intr-o luxoasa locuinta la un bizar concurs ritualic la care sunt invitati toti prietenii sai excentrici. Miza este foarte simpla, cel putin la prima vedere. Cine vine la cina insotit de cel mai idiot invitat care a calcat vreodata selecta casa castiga respectul tuturor mesenilor. Pierre da o lovitura colosala cand isi face aparitia cu Francois Pignon, un tip total rupt de lumea reala. El va deveni victima nevinovata a farselor elaborate si cinice ale lui Pierre si ale companionilor sai. In cele din urma, Francois isi va arata insa calitati pe care nimeni nu i le banuia...
