* FridgeBrilliance: The film has no music score whatsoever, til the end. While this is partly due to an artistic reason -- having music during the dinner would distract the viewer from what was actually being ''said'' -- there's a symbolic reason as well. Wally complains that as an adult, he no longer pays attention to art and music because he's preoccupied by money. At the end of the film, Wally springs for a cab and Satie's ''Gymnopedie #1'' starts playing. He's rediscovered his ability to think about art and music again.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: ''My Dinner With Andre'' is one of those films in which the viewer's opinion of the two characters will change over the years. They may view Wally as down to earth and pragmatic and Andre as a hippie-dippie CloudCuckoolander, then later think of Wally as a stolid, unimaginative stick-in-the-mud who needs Andre's free spirit to liberate him from that drudgery, or view both characters as deeply unhappy and DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife, or just two friends who haven't seen each other in a while and bemoaning the decline of theatre in New York. The film reflects the viewer's emotional state and age over time.
