The dinner guest (L'invité) - Daniel Auteuil, Valérie Lemercier, Thierry Lhermitte, Laurent Bouhnik

Threat advisory: Under evaluation

Movie propaganda

Fifty years old and unemployed for three years, Gérard (Daniel Auteuil) is getting desperate when, out of the blue, he is offered a job in Indonesia. Determined to make a good impression on his new boss, Gérard invites him to dinner. A BIG mistake! Panic-stricken, Colette (Valérie Lemercier), Gérard's wife, calls in Alexandre (Thierry Lhermitte), their PR guru neighbour. Alexandre resolves to give the couple the ultimate 24-hour makeover. Their apartment, interior design, lifestyle, taste buds, fashion sense, general knowledge... nothing is overlooked! After many dramas, mishaps, misunderstandings and general bungling, with frazzled nerves, Gérard and Colette open the door to welcome... their dinner guest.
