A feel-good comic ensembler that's hard to resist.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Surprisingly moving -- prompting lumps in the throat over what was, after all, a historic moment of the most luminous hope.
New York Daily News by Jami Bernard
For all its folksy jocularity, the movie inspires a sense of global patriotism. In the big picture, every little dish counts.
Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern
Apollo 11's mission was a singular chapter in the story of mankind; The Dish finds a whimsical, winning way of telling it anew.
The cast is wonderful, the soundtrack features a well-chosen array of bouncy period pop tunes, and Graeme Wood's cinematography makes the most of the stately beauty of the dish itself.
Portland Oregonian by Kim Morgan
Appropriate music, lovely cinematography and stellar performances by both a subtly moving Neill and a likable, barrel-chested super-American Warburton.
Charlotte Observer by Lawrence Toppman
If you like films short, sweet and soothing, this may be exactly your "Dish."
Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
The kind of movie some audiences are starved for, a comedy with a human face, warmth and spirit.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
It placed second for the People's Choice Award at the 2000 Toronto Film Festival--after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." That's about right.
Dramatically moving and good-naturedly humorous, it transmits a sharp picture of humanity that inspires both awe and laughter.
