This film covers the role an Australian satellite dish and its operators played in projecting Neil Armstrong's moon walk to the world. The Dish is in the mold of 1983s "Local Hero", a little picture that benefits greatly from the quirky characters who inhabit the little town of Parkes, Australia, and how they grapple (mostly comically) with their 15 minutes of fame. Often very funny, the timing is deft, and like Local Hero, The Dish has several sweet, true moments. Grade: B+.
