This work, by French playwright Francis Veber, has become an essential reference in the genre of comedy. It premiered in 1993 at the Théâtre des Varietés Paris, and five years later the film adaptation was produced with script by Veber himself and directed by Jay Roach.

Pierre has brought whom he considers the biggest idiot of the so far presented in this cruel game, François Pignon, but the day before he suffers an attack of sciatica and things take a very different course than he had imagined.
