Dish Dogs

Overall I have to give this movie a good rating. I started watching while flipping channels and Shannon Elizabeth caught my eye. The movie itself is about Morgan (Sean Astin) trying to define himself as a philosopher. To do this Morgan and his best friend Jason (Matthew Lillard) travel the country washing dishes and exchanging philosophical ideas. Jason eventually falls in love with a girl who he then wants to stay with and stop travelling around. Morgan finds this to go against his beliefs and tries to leave but also ends up falling in love with different girl played by Shannon Elizabeth. The rest of the movie is basically Morgan trying to convince himself that this girl will not corrupt his beliefs. Not for people who don't want to think about a movie but also a good movie for a couple to watch. Enjoy

Seen the movie on TV yesterday. And now commenting on it. Well, that's a movie of two genres (so, if you call them genre...): Road-feel good movie. And there's philosophy also. Two friends who love dishwashing. Morgan (Sean Astin), the philosophic one, and Jason (Matthew Lillard-finally a role which made me like him!) the more sweet one, who loves the life&Molly. Well, i don't know if it will show up on video (or it did already), but well, it's kind of movie that you shouldn't buy but you can watch on TV, and enjoy. There are in the way too much chattering of Morgan sometime, but still a real thing to make you watch it: Matt Lillard sings a love song in the end! :)

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.

This is a film worth sitting down and watching and you can see a very young Shannon Elizabeth and Frodo, and there is some funny scenes all the way through.

Perhaps it was the style back then but watching this film made me aware of why you need to have high steaks and lots of crazy action in scenes for comedy movies because if it's simply just dialogue between characters it ends up falling into being just flat scenes. Having a more comedy actor to partner Xean Astin

There's some great cinematography especially in Malibu, and the cast has gone on to become well-established. I wish there was some more crazyness and pumped up music to give this film some extra comedy energy.

I chose this movie by the cover which was a bad move. It wasn't funny at all and the main characters were obnoxious. The girl was beautiful but the story and the acting were terrible. It had absolutely nothing to do with surfing. It had a few scenes with no waves- oh it did have the 2 main characters who obviously can't surf try to take off on a closeout. Then it showed Brian Dennehy who I liked in Cocoon but I lost all respect for him in this movie. It was obvious no one in the movie surfs, which is a good thing because they act like losers anyway. I'm amazed they wasted time and money producing this film. I'm even more amazed people bought it.
