(Avg. 3.5)Melvin Goes to Dinner is a 2003 American film adaptation of Michael Blieden's stage play Phyro-Giants!, directed by Bob Odenkirk. Blieden wrote the screenplay from his stage play, and he also stars in the film (as he did in the Los Angeles stage production), along with Stephanie Courtney, Matt Price and Annabelle Gurwitch. The film became noteworthy in 2009 because it is an early appearance of Courtney, who gained fame that year for recurring appearances in television advertisements for Progressive Insurance.
