DINNER AT EIGHT (1933) *1/2 Great cast, and George Cukor directing, but it doesn't get going until the last five minutes. The cast can't lift a script that spends too much time introducing too many characters that still aren't developed enough to be interesting anyway. Lionel Barrymore is lovable of course, Jean Harlow sleazy, and Marie Dressler...whatever she is, crotchety. The whole thing is kind of amateurish, but it has a few somewhat funny moments. John Barrymore drinks a lot, and that's always entertaining.
