I have never until now responded to a review posted on net.movies. However,
the recent review of "My Dinner With Andre" by Jim McParland has moved me
to contribute. I saw "My Dinner With Andre" several months back at the local
"arts" movie theater. It is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever
seen in my entire life (and I see a lot of movies). I went to see it due
to the extremely favorable reviews (4 bunnys in Playboy). After a brief
intro scene, the entire movie takes place in a restaurant (hence the
title). It consists of an hour and a half dialog between two men, one
of which has clearly lost his grip on reality. I waited almost 2 hours
for something of interest to happen but it never did. It is not refreshing.
It is not delightful. It is not easy to stay awake. The film is pure
unadulterated crap and contains utterly no redeeming social value. I
would pay money to keep from having to see this film again. I would do
almost anything to keep from having to see this film again.

P.S. This film was worse than a triple bill of "Come Back to the Five
and Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean", "Superman III", and "The Pirate Movie".

P.P.S. If I save just one soul from having to see this trash, my life
will have been worthwhile.
