Joe Dirt

Joe Dirt

I'm 13 almost 14 and my friend convinced me to watch Joe Dirt with her....what a waste of time.I kept checking the clock to see how much time was left. I enjoy a variety of movies, from cute chick flicks like, Bring It On or Sweet Home Alabama, to Die Hard and the Matrix.I love light-hearted funny movies but this was pure TORTURE!I enjoyed only one part of the entire movie...the credits, which meant, it was OVER!Spare yourself and go see something worthwhile, life is to short to waste an hour and a half or so on this movie.

You'll have a better time stubbing your big toe and watching it bleed. Had there been any apparent good intentions, one might go with the flow and find something in this train wreck to enjoy. Instead, the film reeks with a cynicism and lowest-common-denominator point-of-view that results in a total waste of time.

Unequivocally the WORST "comedy" I have EVER witnessed. My God, the fact that this sites viewers have THIS MOVIE higher rated than "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls" is RIDICULOUS... Blah...

Joe Dirt (2001): Dir: Dennie Gordon / Cast: David Spade, Dennis Miller, Christopher Walken, Rosanna Arquette, Kid Rock: Joe Dirt proudly wheels a meteor down the street on a wagon. While eating his lunch on top of it, he makes ownership promises unaware that his suppose discovery is a large chunk of toilet waste. He is a white trash janitor abandoned by his parents and tells his story via radio. Director Dennie Gordon shows little promise as one idiotic scene follows another. Joe eventually finds his parents and discovers that they knew what viewers were aware of from the get go. David Spade is totally unsympathetic. Joe Dirt is even dumber than the poop scooping moron he played in Lost and Found. As a radio personality Dennis Miller appears anxious for Spade to say something remotely intelligent. Christopher Walken has the thankless role as a janitor in hiding. He should go into hiding after agreeing to be part of this junk. Rosanna Arquette appears at an alligator farm. Crude moments include dog testicles frozen to a patio. Kid Rock puts down his guitar to give us perhaps his biggest career blunder in appearing in what comes off as a really bad joke at his expense. Spade gets drenched in sewage, which is exactly where the film should be. Finally we are given a sex scene where he screams out, "Sister!" While locations are innovative, the witless screenplay lurks in the gutter. Better yet, dirt. Score: 1 / 10

I would rather be defiled by a syphilitic chimpanzee than be forced to watch this movie again. I thought David Spade in a mullet wig could carry this movie. I was wrong. Nothing could make up for the lack of funny jokes and terrible acting by everyone in this film. This is why all SNL alumni (except Sandler, Akroyd, and Murray) should be disallowed from making movies.

As a young boy, Joe [David Spade] got seperated from his parents [Caroline Aaron and Fred Ward]. Ever since then he's spent his life on a journey to find them. On his journey he meets a nice girl named Brandy [Brittany Daniel], a Fireworks salesman named Kicking Wing [Adam Beach], and a friendly janitor named Clem [Christopher Walken]. David Spade is great in this hilarious adventure/comedy full of crude humor. It also has a fantastic soundtrack featuring classic songs from Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, The Doobie Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eddie Money, Joe Walsh, and more!

I watched for about 10 minutes before realizing it wasn't for me. and by wasn't for me i mean it's straight trash. lol that wasn't even on purpose (1 viewing)

"You HAVE to see this movie!" my roommate said, as if he were talking about an eternal classic on the order of "Citizen Kane." But he wasn't talking about Kane. He was talking about "Joe Dirt." This is the kind of movie that members of my misguided generation think is great comedy, presumably because there's just nothing funnier than mullet jokes and watching David Spade haul around a chunk of crap that he thinks is a meteor. At best, this brand of garbage is a guilty pleasure. But if you find brilliant comedy within this film's tacky confines, I fear for you. Pretty please, go out and rent a movie that's actually good.

Despite the fact that this movie was trashed by critics, Joe Dirt still makes me laugh every time I watch it. If you've seen other movies made by Adam Sandler, then you should know what to expect: lots of low-brow humor and implausible situations. This movie definitely isn't for film snobs, but if you're just looking for a cheap laugh, Joe Dirt is definitely worth a rental. This movie tells the life story of a man named Joe Dirt (played by David Spade), the mullet-wearing, hard rock-loving embodiment of every white trash stereotype in existence. This is a very different type of character for David Spade, who usually plays sarcastic and bitter male secretary types as opposed to the likable moron he plays in this. As the movie begins, Joe Dirt is working as a janitor at a radio station when he is noticed by a Howard Stern-like DJ played by Dennis Miller. The DJ calls Joe Dirt into the studio and starts asking questions, intending to use the trashy janitor as a target for ridicule. It is here where we begin to learn the back story of Joe Dirt, beginning when he was a little kid abandoned by his parents during a trip to the Grand Canyon. After the initial radio interview, the story of Joe Dirt becomes a national pop culture phenomenon. Our hero is invited back into the studio to continue his story, which consists of his various adventures as he travels around the country looking for his long-lost family. During his travels he befriends the beautiful and kind-hearted Brandy (Brittany Daniel), is bullied by a arrogant jerk named Robbie (Kid Rock), teams up with an American Indian fireworks dealer named Kicking Wing (Adam Beach), and crosses paths with a school janitor with a shady past (Christopher Walken). You also discover that, despite the fact that Joe Dirt is a crude and ignorant individual, you can't help but find yourself rooting for him and admiring his ability to keep a positive attitude despite all the bad things that keep happening to him. I gave this movie a 7 out of 10. It's funny, even uplifting, and worth seeing at least once if you aren't offended by toilet humor.
