DINER is often a very funny movie, although I laughed most freely not at the sexual pranks but at the movie’s accurate ear, as it reproduced dialogue with great comic accuracy.
Movies like DINER—fresh and well-acted and energetic movies by new directors with the courage of their convictions—are an endangered species.
