Eating Raoul
“A tasty comedy of bad manners.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 57, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A prudish couple discovers that killing their sexually adventurous neighbours could finance a restaurant. Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov give the deliberate black comedy a composed centre while the business plan becomes increasingly indefensible. Its sexual caricatures and chilly humour will not suit every dinner party.
