Melvin Goes to Dinner

Comedy Drama Romance

2003, Movie, 1h 23min

Perhaps the finest conversation movie this side of MY DINNER WITH ANDRÉ, Bob Odenkirk’s directorial debut invites you along for a stimulating evening of hilarious, engrossing, and disarmingly honest talk, talk, talk. The simple premise—four thirtysomethings convene for a wine-fueled dinner party that turns increasingly intimate as they discuss everything from religion and ghosts to relationships and sexual fetishes—is rendered, in Odenkirk’s deft hands, consistently insightful and surprising, while a host of cameos (look out for everyone from David Cross to Jenna Fischer) keeps things lively.

Odenkirk’s movie should inspire viewers to call up old friends, order a bottle of wine, and talk the night away.
