Overall Call:
It has been a long time since I saw such a pleasantly funny movie I could recommend to all ages. The Dish is a film for everyone. With a premise I thought to be as entertaining as watching grass grow I was certainly proved wrong. The subplots and characters were all excellent. Particularly the main four that hold down the fort at the dish. Happily surprised was I to see Patrick Warburton in life after Putty (Elaine's dim boyfriend on Seinfeld). He was so very geeky and funny and one of the many highlights of the picture. The Dish has one of the more solid supporting cast performances in some time too. As I said this one is for everyone, trust me it's entertaining. It sent chills down my back like I was seeing the moon landing for the first time.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Refreshingly clean humor for all ages
+ Strong comedic cast
+ Subplots as entertaining as the main story
