The Dish Reviews
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
For many moviegoers, that feel-good spirit is going to be hard to resist.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
A feel-good movie that re-creates a time and place with gentle humor and a reminder that the Aussies have the right stuff, too.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
Both an entertaining, instructive jaunt down memory lane and also, for the younger generation, a most palatable lesson in modern history.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
Images of the revolving and tilting dish are sufficient in themselves and do more than make up for the musical goosing on the soundtrack.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
A comedy with a heart -- a rare thing in the movies these days.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A smiling human comedy.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
A heartwarming family movie about the space race.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Utterly charming.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
In 1969, when the world watched as man went the moon, America needed help from Australia to see it. Today, the Aussies are coming to our aid again.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
All these years later, the sight of a man walking on the surface of the moon has lost none of its power.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
The Dish also does a nice job of evoking what 1969 was like for people who didn't live in San Francisco, Paris or even Melbourne, Australia.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
Makes you admire the Australian ability to make a comedy that's sincere rather than crass.
Seattle Times
John Zebrowski
Shows us that when done with restraint, nostalgia can be fine.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
A warmly human story marked by humor, drama, a little romance and an ending that's preordained (though crises arise), yet also moving.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Warm, wry, endearing.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
An amusing, compelling and technologically fascinating tale.
Dallas Morning News
Jane Sumner
Both goofy and touching, so heartfelt and fresh that it draws us in, tickling our funny bones while hitting the solar plexus.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
The kind of movie some audiences are starved for, a comedy with a human face, warmth and spirit.
Film.com
Robert Horton
If it weren't so pushy about selling itself, The Dish might have been a very special movie.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
This is a comedy that rises out of elation, rather than mere wacky gas.
