Dish Dogs is a bad movie.

All the people who have all ready posted messages on this movie are retarded.
This movie is complete crap. Shannon Elizabeth might be hot, but she's a terrible actress.
I like Austin and Dennehy, we've all seen 'Goonies' and 'Cocoon'. Even Lillard has even been in a few descent films like 'SLC Punk', but this movie is beneath all of them. Good films have been made about young men searching for answers to philosophical questions, 'Donnie Darko' for instance, but the issues they discuss in this film aren't complex, personal or intricate. These are rudimentary topics that the writing doesn't even get into. If who ever wrote this pile of raging dog crap wanted to discuss relavent issues they should've picked up a book first. It might have been possible to tie together dish washing and some complex introspection, but they didn't at all. Maybe they were dish washers so they would come off as relatable, or 'real world', but it didn't work at all.
And what was funny at all about this huge waste of time. Funny movies don't necessarily need intricate plots, consider 'Napoleon Dynamite' or anything by Buster Keaton. The inane hijinks they perform were not funny.
And another thing, it isn't deep to be afraid of marriage or hate women. Nobody needs to get married, but to try to be smart about discussing why a man with a woman is less then one living aloneis insulting. If they wanted those ridiculous conversations between Austin and Dennehy to go somewhere they should've just started making out. At least that would've been surprising.

This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. I even rank Dude where's my car and Scary Movie 2 & 3 above this stinkbomb. You know that Notre Dame is very disappointed in Rudy for wasting that fine education on such a crap movie.

What was that comment about Notre Dame being disappointed in Rudy for wasting that "fine education on such a crap movie?" You do know that Sean Astin is NOT Rudy, right? Actually, my dad's friend knew the actual Rudy. He was REALLY weird and still mows the football field at Notre Dame (I mean weird in terms of you don't know if he's retarded or schizo - at least, that's what I've heard).
Anyway, I came across this movie (Dish Dogs) late at night on the second crappiest free tv station in Chicago so thanks to everyone for their reviews (read: I will not be wasting my time with it).

If you want to be persuasive in your arguments, some rudimentary grammar application, and, more importantly, the proper spelling and use of words would help your cause.

1) it's 'Astin,' not 'Austin,' as in Sean's last name.
2) it's not 'all ready.' It's 'already' in the context of your phrasing.
3) it's not 'descent.' It's 'decent.' Yes, you spelled the word correctly, but 'descent' is something, for example, that a plane does.
4) it's not 'if whoever.' It's 'if whomever.'
5) it's not 'relavent.' It's 'relevant.'
6) 'dish washing,' in this context and use, is to be used as one word, not two. It's 'dishwashing.'
7) in the third to last line, the correct term is 'than,' not 'then.'

As far as all of the run-on sentences, dependent clauses standing on their own and using prepositions to end a sentence, to name just a few, make this posting an egregious one at best. Communication, my friend, is completely undone and unconvincing when executed so poorly.

Find your local community college class for an English correspondence course.

"As far as all of the run-on sentences, dependent clauses standing on their own and using prepositions to end a sentence, to name just a few, make this posting an egregious one at best. "

You crack me up, Mr. Pedantic English Professor! What, exactly, is the subject of 'make' in your elegantly written admonition? Delete 'as far as' and you might have a grammatical sentence, though not a very clear one. (And how about capitalizing the first words in your seven advisory comments? You know, the comments about how to write correctly...).

Perhaps you should take your own advice about a community college class, you pompous fool. (Wait...are you Meyers, the writer of the movie that was trashed? Or perhaps just a friend...?)
