      Audience Member J'adore tellement ces films où un groupe d'individus se retire dans une villa à l'occasion d'un dîner. Ici, comme dans La Grande Bouffe, l'alcool et la nourriture coulent à flot et les révélations chocs ainsi que les confrontations s'accumulent. Tout ça pour le grand divertissement du spectateur, qui se plait à observer ces personnages caricaturaux. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
