It's My Dinner With Andre and a Couple of His Friends. Bob Odenkirk's slacker version of the classic 'talking around the table' drama is suprisingly stolen not by the titular Melvin but by his confused pal Joey (Matt Price), whose tale of a near-miss infidelity trumps anything else in the movie. The rest of the time it's a not-quite-believable riff on sex and other tawdry matters clearly torn from the theater -- with some memorable cutaways to the likes of an 'insane' Jack Black seeking mental help.
