Dinner for Five - Season 1 (2001)

Great entertainment

Real dinner talk between some people we may have heard of or seen. Some of it rude and crude, some erudite and enlightening, runs the spectrum but quite unrehearsed thus insightful. Got a lot out of it January 14, 2008

Dinner for Five

I have loved Jon Favreau since I first saw Sswingers and Made. He definitely needs to stick to production and directing. I first saw the show on IFC and immediadtely liked it. I watched every episode after that, but I had missed the first couple episodes so I bought this I watch every couple of months. I really hope that the other seasons are released on DVD as well since I cannot watch it anymore. February 27, 2006

I bought this mainly as a Sarah Silverman fan, not even realising the host, Jon Favreau, was the guy behind Swingers, a movie I also liked, so that was gravy. I was expecting each episode to be one continuous conversation, but it's edited down to a series of 3-minute sections. Faizon Love making fun of Ice Cube's directorial abilities was funny. Marilyn Manson seemed surprisingly grounded. Joey Lauren Adams talks about being mistaken for Renee Zellweger. I like that the show exists and that I got to see it, but I expected something more.

Light meal

Guess I'm in the minority on this one. I found these "dinners" to be on the dull side. The celebrities, for the most part, seemed uninteresting and hilariously unaware of their egocentricity.

The episodes vary considerably in quality, depending on the guests, as you might expect. I'd rent this first before forking over your cash. October 30, 2004
