Now Serving: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Featuring a live introduction to the film and themed three-course menu, set sail to the luxurious resorts of the French Riviera, where longtime resident and big-shot con artist Lawrence Jamieson (Michael Caine) enjoys the fruits of his deceptions in paradise – that is, until a competitor by the name of Freddy Benson (one legendary Steve Martin in fine comedic form) shows up. When the new lowbrow tactics threaten to impinge his work and infringe on his scamming prospects, Jamieson resolves to get rid of him. Confident of his own duplicitous talents, he challenges Benson to a winner-takes-all competition: whoever swindles their latest mark first can stay; the other must leave town.

What follows for them in this Frank Oz-directed screwball delight is the pursuit to prove which of the men is the sleeziest, sneakiest, phoniest, trickiest, rotten-est scoundrel of them all. What follows for you...is dessert!
