Dorathen Better Late Then Never
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Yvonne Jodi Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
febru3012 This is a cleverly written movie by Spade and an associate. Its funny and well directed. Oh sure as in any comedy there are jokes that miss but its only a few in Joe Dirt and the majority hit. I swore I would have nothing to do with Sandler movies but he's only an Exec Producer which means he invested some cash into the making of the movie and thankfully didn't write, direct or even appear. Thats the best I can say about this picture and what makes it worth an 8 and worth seeing. On the whole its funny and doesn't demand anything from its audience. BTW Brittany Daniel is another reason to see this movie for the guys, she is SUPER HOT!
Esai Souza I am very harsh with movies and I automatically know when a movie is bad. "Joe Dirt" is a bad movie that's meant to be bad but for some reason I loved it (and I usually don't). Joe Dirt is a great character and in my opinion is one of the greatest heroes of cinema, because everyone loves Joe Dirt even if the critics didn't. He still found a way into America's heart. So I call "Joe Dirt" one of the funniest, dumbest, heartwarming films in years. Definitely better than the "Superbad" that's for sure. This also the best film or anything that David Spade has ever done. "Joe Dirt" will go down as a classic in cinema history, because it's already one in millions of people's hearts.
elshikh4 I used not to expect much from (David Spade). But this time, it is different.The plot of the radio show is creative, with a lot of comic situations. (David Spade) is relatively funny, doing his serious moments rightly. The meaning of "sometimes the journey is more important than its goal" is unique and well served. The pace is vivid, maybe too vivid to make anything deep or touching, but it worked for making such a light comedy anyway, with kind of human character too. The soundtrack caught the 1980s spirit wonderfully, and strengthened the emotional side, if not carried it out.(Christopher Walken), who almost doesn't say no to any movie offered to him, is a good addition for every thing he's in, even if he's there for a few scenes, and obviously this movie needed a name beside (David Spade) to be sold. (Rosanna Arquette) did nothing memorable. Again, another name. OK, to sum it up, this is a case where (Spade) was the cast, and everybody else was in a cameo. That could have sounded bad, but surprisingly not here! THOUGH, WAIT A BIG MINUTE! Did this movie contain some really REALLY dirty humor? Well, HELL YEAH !The problem is that the nice movie we were talking about savored showing freaky and ugly stuff, while it could avoid it easily. For instance, instead of seeing the sweetheart's father's leg cut off, it was possible to see the train hits him to fly in the sky, then lands in a cactus plantation, something of that sort. Some, if not most, of the jokes are involving farts, blood, feces, private parts, sex, amputated legs or fingers, …to the end of the cheap filthy list. But apparently the writers, Spade himself and his buddy Fred Wolf, chose their road earlier, planning that as a big part, and if you have doubts; their movie's title !There is a plot hole concerning how the lead believed that his parents died 25 years ago, while he was told that they left their home 15 years ago?! And they never told us why those parents left their boy earlier? Or where is his sister? They just forgot these matters. The movie is beautifully crowded with many small chuckles here and there, like the man who says wisely "Home is where you think it is" while the lead mishears it, thinking it a totally another thing! However, it has one big laugh, and I mean the lead's dream of exploding a nuclear bomb for mere playing. That was genuinely hilarious ! This is a swift fun, with dirt. I love swift fun, but not dirt; especially when it's shown as fun !
Chase_Witherspoon Forgive the title and you should find a warm, funny film that concerns an unfortunate yokel with a permanent mullet hairstyle (Spade) working as a cleaner at a radio station when a prominent DJ (Miller) sees the opportunity to exploit his pathetic story for the ratings of his drive-time programme. But the sorrowful tale earns a cult following as Dirt re-acquaints with his first romance (Daniel) and encounters an assortment of weirdos as he seeks to discover the disappearance of his parents when he was a child.Although in some ages Spade is perhaps too smart for his own good, he still pulls off the likable but hopelessly pitiful Joe Dirt (or Deertay as he pronounces it), and his encounters with Christopher Walken as a former mob boss in the witness protection programme, Brian Thompson as a creepy Buffalo Bill serial killer a la "Silence of the Lambs", and future "My Name is Earl" trailer trash Jaime Pressly as a carney with whom he's sleeping and who might just be his sister (which prompts an hilarious scene).There's a number of memorable moments as Joe gets pushed around by the thugs of this world, while his endearing personality reaches out and inspires the rest, a champion for the underdog, as they befriend and protect him from further embarrassment and humiliation. The ending is satisfying and overall the movie hits the right note, merging good humour with dollops of sympathy, sincerity and even a couple of moving moments. Not what you'd expect from the title and personnel and well worth a look.
