Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Morgan(Sean Astin)and Jason(Matt Lillard)star as 'Dish Dogs', two buddy philosophers who travel the world, free of commitment, taking up dishwashing jobs at various restaurants across the country. Morgan is the the talkative one. Blah-blah-blah, immovable rocks and omnipotent gods. And Jason is the free-spirited sidekick who is basically just "going along" with Morgan's philosophical lifestyle. So, when they return home for a friend's wedding, Jason rekindles his relationship with an old flame Molly(Ward)and Morgan is left to do some soul searching. And, believe it or not, he ends up falling for ball-busting stripper Anne(Shannon Elizabeth), much to his own dismay. These two film stars are kind of an odd couple...Anyway, 'Dish Dogs' is pretty amusing, and the script very rarely takes itself seriously. I do think that Sean Astin kind of talks too much, though. This may turn the viewer off, but I would recommend sticking with it. The second half of the film is much better than the first half because Morgan has to confront reality and stop asking those unanswerable questions about love and marriage. The ending is pretty cool, too, I guess.5/10 is my vote. It has its good points.

It isn't a bad movie it's just not a great one. If you don't mind a simple film with nice likable characters then watch it. Its simple but fun when you have nothing else to do.The reason I watched it was because I was a Sean Astin fan. And if you are then it's cool simply because he's in it. Although I was surprised because there is some funny moments and some quite touching moments too which was surprising. And Matthew (Lillard) singing at the end was fantastic.It isn't a fantastic movie but give it a go it might surprise you, just don't expect anything too much.

I'll give the other comment-giver a little bit of credit... but I found this movie to be insanely cute and very cool. I found it out only because I was a huge fan of Sean Astin in LOTR, but as I watched it and pulled more away from just loving to see Sean, I found it really groovy stuff!! Writers and directors use the same story lines and plots all the time! This thing was totally different and maybe not as realistic as we'd like it to be, but it IS still realistic. Hell, I'd be a dish dog if I had Matt Lillard and Sean Astin by my side... AND a hot stripper. It may not have been as good as I had hoped... but I do give it something for the originality and getting me to REALLY eat at a chip, lol.

Truthfully, I rented this movie expecting to be bored out of my mind and having the only redeeming quality be watching Matt Lillard for two hours, but I was wrong. Matthew Lillard is the cutest philosopher/dishwasher and is accompanied by the non-stop talker Sean Astin. I enjoyed all of their adventures and the exploration of (no, don't say it-) marriage. I'd recommend this movie to anyone in the mood to ooh and aaw over romance (and Matthew Lillard!) They live, they love, they sing-- And boy do they need lessons!
