Appropriate music, lovely cinematography and stellar performances by both a subtly moving Neill and a likable, barrel-chested super-American Warburton.
This is my favourite Australian movie. A sweet and funny movie, well written and beautifully filmed, terrific performances by the main cast. If you were around at the time it is also very nostalgic and historically correct for the most part, right down to the coffee cups. A wonderful testament to the Aussie spirit of the time and a time of hope & wonder.
This movie holds a great deal of nostalgia for me, (so please try to over look my bias) a wonderful time when things were simple & carefree in my very young life. A very sweet, fun movie with some good laughs thrown in, one of the better Aussies movies made. If you were around at the time, it will bring back hopefully a lot of good memories back then. Watch it, enjoy it, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
The Dish is a wonderful Australian comedy set in the daring days of the space race. Sam Neil is wonderful and the film is one of those happy films that reminds man of his better side.
