Dinner for One is this quirky little comedy from '92 that just has its own charm. It’s set in a grand dining room, and it revolves around an elderly lady celebrating her birthday, but she’s dining alone, served by her butler who hilariously has to impersonate her absent guests. The pacing is on the slower side, but it gives you time to soak in the absurdity of the situation. The practical effects, mainly the physical comedy, have a rawness that really stands out. The butler’s performance is particularly noteworthy; his physicality and timing are spot on. It’s all about the interplay between the characters, and the way they navigate this surreal celebration is just distinctive in its own right.
