L’Invité
French
comedy which borders on farce about a gauche couple preparing to host the
husband’s future boss for dinner with the help of an interfering neighbour cum
PR consultant. It is mildly amusing,
rather short and very gallic. It does
have some sage points to make about job recruitment and trying to create
impressions and despite the good will of the actors it seldom launches into
flight. Auteuil, Lemercier and
L’hermitte 
are all great talents but even they cannot lift this material beyond
the very average.
