Reception

Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club gave the film a negative review and wrote: "Funny only when it attempts to be serious [...] Dish Dogs should, but sadly won't, kill off the angst-ridden Gen-X comedy once and for all."^[2]

Godfrey Cheshire of Variety called the film "lightweight but agreeable" and predicted it would find an audience when released on video.^[3]
