You can also stream it free on tubi.

PS FreeVee can be streamed without ROKU on a PC.

Because of my hearing (or lack thereof) I watch everything on my laptop with high end earbuds

Here’s a funny one. I use the Brave browser on Win 10. When I watch tubi it clips out the commercials automatically. There is a 1/2 second blip where the commercial would be. It’s really nice. Like having a paid service for free.

This looks like a really good movie about a restaurant in NYC.

Someone told me that you can’t watch Freevee on a PC without having an amazon account. True or False?

Is there a Billy Joel scene where he sings in this film?

Absolutely Roku rocks.

I've been using Roku exclusively for several years. Cut the cords 100% to cable TV and broadcast. To tip toe into Roku, download the free app to try it out. Watch on your mobile or AirPlay onto your TV if the TV supports it. If it.clicks for you, purchase a Roku box to get a way better experience with lots more channels.

On the edge though with adding ESPN as a paid subscription. Really want college sports and that will get me most in my range of interests. Yes, I am a cheapskate! I love free!

One of my favorite movies. I’ve seen it 2-3 times. I’ve recommended it here a few times. Great actors and acting.

Thanks. I’ll watch it tonight. We are watching “Sue Thomas FB Eye” on Roku from 2004 and it is a good series.

That I don’t know since I have an Amazon account.

This may have the answer to your question.

Tubi is owned by Fox.

So? FOX is leftist and woke company so I shouldn't watch tubi?

Tubi is paid for by commercials. My software eliminates the commercials. You could say that I am shortchanging FOX.

You're not watching on the ROKU channel, sounds good to me. I'll watch it on Freevee with the ads.

Saw the movie tonight on ROKU.

It was a very good movie especially considering it was a low budget film shot entirely inside the restaurant, which by the way, is an actual restaurant that is still operating in the Tribeca area of NYC.

I agree, it had a very satisfying ending.

Highly recommended.

This is one of my all time favorite movies. I doubt that many people have even heard of it.

Bob Giraldi is the director of Dinner Rush and he was the owner/founder of the restaurant where the movie takes place.

Giraldi had a background in advertising, music videos and short films so he knew how to keep a story moving and not waste time and let it drag. And one thing Dinner Rush does is keep your attention.
