Synopsis
Vincent, a wealthy real estate agent, is invited to dinner by his sister Elizabeth and her husband Peter, both professors in Paris. Claude, a childhood friend and trombonist in a symphony orchestra, is also present. Vincent brings news from the prenatal examination of his and his wife Anna's unborn son. The name chosen by the soon-to-be parents strongly offends the others for many reasons. The dispute between the guests quickly escalates and before long the resurgence of old grudges and hidden secrets is unavoidable...

A situation comedy that is well played, with many twists and some intelligent humour. I have seen it in French (original) and I do believe that a translation will ever be able to reproduce the fine French humour in the dialogues. The subtle humour and the story of of a few people sitting around a table that starts with one guy stating that he wants to call his son Adolph degenerates from there. Frankly, if you do not speak French, it is a shame to miss this one, but in that case, “Carnage” is a movie in English that comes close and is excellent too. If you speak French, do not miss this movie.

Really funny and fast paced. It's adapted from the stage play and that shows but I really liked that. Laughed a lot and some fun twists.
