Movie Review: The Dinner

[@starwarsnerd100]

War Room: Fucking 'Nam! The Dinner: Fucking Gettysburg!

[@TommyDeonauthsArchives]

starwarsnerd100 What's Nam?

[@TheFlyingJew13]

Faith of Our Fathers: EVEN MORE 'NAM!

[@smjaiteh]

How to make your movie fail at the box office: 1. Call it "The Dinner". 2. Make it about a dinner. 3. Open against the annual May Marvel movie.

[@gabe_s_videos]

Step 4. Don't profit.

[@DrSpookula]

The twist should have been...Cannibalism. Then again I always want the twist to be cannibalism.

[@starwarsnerd100]

Darth Vader ate Luke's father! Snape ate Dumbledore! Bruce Willis was a cannibal the whole time!

[@DrSpookula]

Thats a great movie.

[@carterheer8278]

IG121gigawatts The St. John family approves.

[@robotdan]

not even the italian remake of this film had cannibals

[@jaernihiltheus7817]

"Deliciously provocative." - Ed Boon, "Mileena approves."

[@shwahgamer]

If I had kids and they killed someone I'd send them straight to prison without a second thought.

[@drummr1313]

Gotta love getting a trailer for "The Dinner" right before watching the Midnight Screenings for "The Dinner!"

[@slashingkatie7872]

My husband is a Civil War Buff. Gettysburg: turning point Antietam: bloodiest battle

[@MrChristo93]

I thought Gettysburg was the bloodiest battle, but Antietam was the bloodiest single day of the war.

[@JimmySteller]

@@MrChristo93 You're right. Gettysburg had more casualties, but it was a 3-day battle rather than Antietam's 1.

[@nicole.5346]

"You raised a monster. Too bad." Haha I love you Sarah!😂

[@h0lly_blue]

_I haven't even had breakfast yet_

[@heymistercarter.]

This sounds like that movie Carnage that Roman Polanski directed a few years ago, where Jodie Foster and John C. Reilly's son and Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz's son had a fight, and they're talking about how the kids should get together and apologize, yet they're tearing each other apart as the day goes on. And on a side note, Gettysburg isn't considered the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, Antietam is.

[@andybaxter4442]

trc2rockon I was just thinking about Carnage the other day. And +1 for knowing your Civil War battle history.

[@heymistercarter.]

I mean, Gettysburg was one of the major turning points in the war in the Union's favor and probably had more casualties overall, but Antietam had the most casualties over the course of a single day. Gettysburg happened over the course of 3 days, Antietam was only one.

[@dr.sommercamp3435]

trc2rockon Carnage was great!

[@WordoftheElderGods]

It should have went on for longer, but it was pretty great.

[@TheMightyPika]

+trc2rockon (mentions Antietam being the bloodiest battle in the US Civil War) THANK YOU.

[@KatStratsDouble]

I need Sarah's "You raised a monster. Too Bad" quote on a t-shirt. It never fails to make me laugh whenever I put on Midnight Screenings on in the background.

[@SnowGoosePower]

Right out of the gate, I knew this would be a good review. Having just seen it, Brad goes, "What was this movie about?" Sarah says, "Let me read you what I found on the Internet."

[@endplanets]

They guy set a dude on fire because he was taking too long at an ATM. Is he literally the main character from the Postal games.

[@jlprizm]

The best compliment for any movie...At least it wasn't The Dinner. 😁

[@marikotrue3488]

Never heard of this movie. With teaser trailers, multiple "regular" trailers, Rotten Tomatoes and You Tube populating our reality, that is amazing. As for the movie itself...think that I will wait for my next family reunion ;)

[@godzillasaurbuttersworth3176]

Honestly, I saw the poster and Brad and Sara and my 1st thought was, 'This is gonna be just like The Loft' I'm…kinda glad I was right Also the next time me and my lover get into a fight I'm gonna yell, 'THIS IS OUR GETTESBURGE!'

[@gabe_s_videos]

I feel like the idea of parents struggling with the fact that their kids are horrible people could have been done well, but by the sound of it, the movie is too detached from these characters and has too many plots going on to make it work.

[@CarozQH]

Hmmm... I WONDER what's for DINNER...?

[@koenvandamme6901]

Oh boy! I'm so hungry, I could eat an Octorok! *I feel dirty. UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!*

[@rommix0]

ENOUGH! My ship sails in the morning.

[@BriGuyIL1980]

People!!!

[@multismashify]

Cum. Buckets of it. Down the hatch.

[@ArtyoumPlays]

[@shsharding44]

'The Dinner' was based on a novel. I read this book by the original author . I also read a book he wrote about two families on vacation. The adults mostly sleep and stare at a pool. The Then something happens and it just proves both families are icky.

[@smjaiteh]

"It's like... a five star dinner and they're serving... Gettysburg!" - Brad Jones, thecinemasnob.com

[@captcrais101]

John Lithgow played a psychopath in Raising Cain.

[@OlAdam7]

I took a Spanish class field trip in 7th grade to xochimilco when I lived in Springfield. I remember they had good fried ice cream

[@littlebearbradick9263]

*glower* "ooh, ice cream!" *glower* ...she gets me.

[@Logan912]

"It's trying to trick you into thinking it's a five-star dinner when really it's a plate of shit." Huh, I didn't know Olive Garden made a movie.

[@BuddhaBot]

Goddammit. Y'all got Loft'd again

[@n.esthermorgenthau3497]

Somewhere online (imdb?) I read that the author of the book supposedly walked out of the premiere straight after the screening because he hated the adaption so much. Never read the novel but wasn't there a Dutch one based on the same source? Usually chamber dramas are quite interesting to me, so any chance the Dutch one is better? Anyone seen it?

[@hingeslevers]

Dutch version is "meh." Herman Koch's subtle and surreal humor apparently only works in book form. I don't know about the Italian version though.

[@cleargreen123456789]

I haven't seen this movie, but the Dutch one is alright, not amazing (in my opinion). The (Dutch) book's really good, though.

[@n.esthermorgenthau3497]

Oh that's a shame, thank you though! Maybe I'll check out the book instead. :)

[@cleargreen123456789]

I looked it up, he decided not to go to the afterparty of the premiere, because he thought this movie was awful

[@n.esthermorgenthau3497]

Oy, as a writer I feel awful for Mr Koch, I can't imagine how it must feel to have your work butchered, and even worse to have other adaptions be merely mediocre. According to Google, the Dutch one seemed to be 'meh' indeed as hingeslevers put it aptly, nevertheless still a bit of a shame, frankly. Some prose works simply don't translate well to film, I suppose. I am quickly looking up the Italian one though just out of curiosity.

[@OmegaSoypreme]

Speaking of dinner, I am hungry.

[@DarkPhoenix89]

Sounds like a riveting movie judging by the title. XD

[@iguanian]

I love that the commercial break was a trailer for The Dinner.

[@csjcsj2906]

The "Jeremiah Tower: The Last Magnificent" trailer (from executive producer Anthony Bourdain) was also shown before "The Dinner," since both movies are distributed by The Orchard.

[@matthias_samahl1266]

At 29:25 it looks like Sarah is driving the car, but wait she's not looking at where she's going! Oh no, she turned into Cameron Diaz from Vanilla Sky!

[@koenvandamme6901]

So basically, they tried a Festen and failed hard?

[@smjaiteh]

About as much cringe, though.

[@MFields2178]

Is this a future Cinema Snob review or are you giving it to Film Brain?

[@drstrangelove9525]

You should do more of the Midnight Screenings live

[@jlprizm]

Dr Strangelove I second that. It's a fun time.

[@culwin]

They could have another set of reviewers review the live review as it happens.

[@captcrais101]

It Comes out at night looks really good.

[@redraideninthehood763]

"Hmmmmm...I wonder what's for dinner?"

[@Blargleization]

I actually captioned The Lovers a few weeks ago, I enjoyed it.

[@zeathosthomas4847]

I've heard this review allot and now finally saw it. Your right, I taste nothing but worms.

[@icedcoffee2279]

So hey what are the chances we get an Jason X review? The F13 game is releasing this month so you know timing and all.

[@ravenebonscale9687]

Booster Gold he saves Friday the 13th movies for Friday the 13th so we most likely won't see it until October

[@rodrolliv]

here's hoping he gets the game and posts a video about it before a friday 13th, though

[@risethehorizon2231]

This sounds like an elongated episode of The Trip, just without intentional laughs.

[@allyd.8699]

"The Important conversation"......lol

[@Burori1]

"Cool story, still murder", the movie.

[@SavageGreywolf]

that Lovers movie, did the trailer have the Pina Colada Song in it? Because it sounds like it is The Pina Colada Movie.

[@lnfreeman]

You two are both so lovely. Hilarious review.

[@LifeInAConcreteBox]

Read the book by Herman Koch. Seriously, guys, I didn't even know they made a movie, but I doubt the film medium could do it justice

[@LifeInAConcreteBox]

Although, I think the shitty film may make it impossible to enjoy the book.

[@ottodekoning2189]

bhbrewster this is a Herman Koch book? Shit, he's a good writer

[@julie707]

The book is so much better than what this movie sounds like! if Koch walked out of the premier, I wouldn't blame him at all.

[@YamishiMizuandDracus]

OAH! Mah boi, DINNER is what ALL true warriors strive for!

[@caitk.1684]

I am so fucking excited for The Beguiled!!!

[@Biring1]

Can´t wait for you to see 3 Generations

[@alexandersmit6089]

I read the book. Like most Dutch literature, it's deeply cynical and weirdly dark, and about failure. I don't remember anything about three quarters the shit they discussed here. Ain't no Gettysburg in there. Also, no crazy dude, he's a shitbag politician. The best part of the book was the protagonist's internal monologue about how he hates everything, especially the snooty waiter.

[@rayraytl6]

Omg thank you for the Chainsaw comment - I say it all the time and no one remembers that movie. Classic scene!!!! Only norm Macdonald movie I liked lol

[@dunes8817]

Got an Arby's ad before the video.

[@DarthAzabrush]

Sounds like an American adaptation of the BBC black comedy "The Dinner Party" with Alun Armstrong (the best thing in Split Second, Sleepy Hollow and Van Helsing not that it says much) and Rupert Graves (the voice of Rupert fucking Bear) as obnoxious right wing slobs with shitty kids. Just see the original. It has a chainsaw-golf club duel in the back garden.

[@emperorsean1]

well brad i saw jesus bro thought it was good and hilarious : )

[@robbiramirez5820]

Mom's Night Out is basically just Rime of the Ancient Mariner, right?

[@jedisquidward]

i saw a trailer for this movie as the ad for this video. looked great. apparently its not. oh well. one stop shop

[@culwin]

So you recommend watching this movie, to make all other movies look better by comparison?

[@anthonylakich1727]

BEGUYAL and i'm dislexic so i'm spelling it funetticly it was a Clint Eastwood movie.. and they Cut of his legs i saw it as a kid.... and after seeing the western Eastwood as tuff then to have him have the Legs taken from hims was nuts at the time to see... good Movie go see it. Great movie

[@laraoudealink1704]

yeaaahh this worked better as a book

[@laraoudealink1704]

Just thinking of it. The thing that ties the Dinner to the Loft is the Netherlands. Maybe we are all just despicable people. Or... we all misunderstood what miserable people actually do.

[@AquaLantern]

mah boi, I wonder what's for dinner?

[@KatStratsDouble]

The bit from Kumail Nanjiani Sarah mentioned is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6C0dJ6ZpNlsgZY It was a Conan bit. I looked it up when she mentioned it. If anyone wanted it

[@geraldojayster]

Thanks for the advice guys! I'll stand clear from this movie..

[@koroconnell]

You rock Sarah!!! 😄😄😄

[@jforcelegend]

the two movies, the dinner and the loft are both american versions of dutch movies. that gettysburg shit is added in. the dinner = het diner the loft = de loft Try watching the dutch versions with english subtitles. It would make some interesting cinema snobs because of the high production value yet it being kinda shitty. big fan from the netherlands here

[@cristomo1]

are you going to do one for gifted and the promise?

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

Sorry I don't like gifts, and promises are meant for pinky swearing, not movies. I'm afraid I'll have to skip both of these.

[@Alfredo78666]

Didn't Polanski make this movei back in 2011?:-7 And I thought it was about Gettingworst

[@CorpoAgent73]

The real question is would you rather watch The Worm Eaters or this?

[@jenjerx]

I like how dysfunctional the characters was...that's it.

[@dr.sommercamp3435]

Frank Drebin, Police Squad!

[@SimsMusicals]

Unappealing, disjointed, rotten - yup that does sound like something based on Dutch literature!

[@dreadstheheart]

Lol wait was Sarah thinking of Unfaithful?

[@mossie1954]

16:25 Your Welcome.

[@connorcooke4040]

watch Polanski's Carnage.

[@helterskelter9020]

Sarah, you are adorable

[@shortpettite]

So I watched review when it came out. Then randomly today decide to watch The Dinner. I just finished and come to watch review again. I still after watching have no clue what this is about. Almost all of it had nothing to do with the fact they killed a homeless person.

[@triflingmatter]

"Trash that doesn't realize it's trash""Pretentious trash"Or as I call it, Zack Snyder Syndrome.

[@austyn.l6289]

MORE LIKE SUPPER

[@mcgruder22]

The book was decent. No Gettysburg shit (doesn't even take place in America), no ex-wife, no mother issues, and it's not really about mental illness. It's just about a shitty family.

[@thesmellofrain5478]

McGruder yeah this sounds nothing like the book

[@FaeQueenCory]

I have a feeling they wanted to "humanize" the terribleness of the people.

[@shaharavigdori8641]

norman is actually really good

[@JacobCMayer]

Brad Tries Eating Worms. (Please don't do this.)

[@trexguy]

I thought it was great except for one scene that was way too long. (The battlefield scene)

[@EmpressOfCatsup]

I feel like I have seen this, but I think I just saw the trailer and knew everything that was going to happen from that. Or maybe this is a remake/rip-off of something else.

[@FadeIn2Obscurity]

Welcome to "The Brad and Sarah Show", how gay are ya?

[@timothylines3867]

my family,with less money.

[@nono9543]

Mother was a much better movie. Watch that instead.

[@the.seagull.35]

If Mother was a better movie... yikes

[@MilliesVlog]

the ending was irritating

[@Krusiv]

Boo I was hoping this would be like The Invitation

[@ralphbabaganoosh3229]

You hang out with God??

[@apostolosfilippos]

I'd rather watch Noriko's dinner.

[@captcrais101]

I saw the french version on Netflix. It was better and the characters were more likeable

[@captcrais101]

44 meters down looks terrible. I liked the Zoe Kazan trailer.

[@MoonAtomic7]

You see this but not Your Name? Come on.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

We haven't seen a movie that's not playing anywhere near Springfield yet? What are the odds!

[@pompousproductions]

I think the guy was more annoyed at how the movies get presented in Springfield, rather than your film choices. We don't know the films that are coming out near you so we just kinda have to ponder. (Like, is there a particular reason you haven't seen Sleight yet? My guess is that it's a Blumhouse film and it has a limited showing at best)

[@mobiusdripp]

BenG Brad & Co. don't have access to every movie ever, dude. I live in North Carolina and I'm rarely able to see things I actually want to watch.

[@mossie1954]

I SAW THIS MOVIE-- was not too bad----UNTIL THE ENDING!!! WORST MOVIE EVER.

[@sugarfly83]

The movie is great and they got amazing actors. Reason why being is it makes your skin crawl. CAUTION: white people will hate this movie!! or just any powerful people that may have done bad things and needed to keep secret about. The movie shows how some white parenting can make their kids do stupid stuff due to spoiling them. Some affluent rich people story about protecting their kids no matter what kind of wrongdoings they have done. This movie can also be applied to American politics, as going to war and such is a must to protect its citizens. I really do appreciate the movie, its real and its so uncomfortable just watching lol but hey its a differnt kind of movie

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

Yeah, that's why I hated it. Because I'm white and have done bad things.

[@MilliesVlog]

this movie was awful

[@captcrais101]

This movie was terrible. The politics had no context. Homeless people do not sleep in ATM booths. There are cameras in them. How does a mentally ill person become a teacher? The movie is a big fat F.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

Easy there CinemaSins, don't make me defend this movie. I've witnessed homeless people sleeping in ATMs. They address the cameras in the movie, the camera in the ATM was detroyed. And there have been plenty of teachers in the news who were found to be mentally ill. As with most jobs, it happens. But yes, the movie was terrible.
