Product Description
From Amazon.com
Another of those cut-and-paste comedies from Adam Sandler's production company starring one of Sandler's erstwhile Saturday Night Live colleagues, The Adventures of Joe Dirt finds the magnificently caustic David Spade emasculated by a sentimental script and shapeless, haphazard cutting. Spade plays the title character, a white-trash orphan in search of the parents who abandoned him at the Grand Canyon. The humor is supposed to come from Joe's misadventures, his redneck gullibility, and his encounters with such figures as a serial killer, a wacked-out janitor (Christopher Walken), and a lovable gal (Jamie Pressly) who may, unfortunately, turn out to be his sister. But the squishier requirements of the story, requiring the audience to feel deeply for the pain of Spade's caricature, are an irritant and force Spade to veer from the nastier stuff he does so well. With Kid Rock, Dennis Miller. --Tom Keogh

IT MADE ME LAUGH,
By
This review is from: Joe Dirt (DVD)
Movies like JOE DIRT can't be evaluated for script or quality values. It's a raucous, sometimes unfunny, but always entertaining movie that has enough laughs to keep you with it. David Spade mugs through the role with his usual agressive, though somewhat contained, bluster. The movie's cast consists of such stalwarts as Joe Don Baker, Rosanna Arquette, Brian Thompson (in his brief unveiling as Buffalo Bob), Adam Beach, Kathleen Freeman, Fred Ward, Dennis Miller and so on. The meteor joke is priceless and Kid Rock's attempt at acting as Robbie is also a good joke.All in all, this isn't a classic comedy but it made me laugh.

This hairbrained comedy will throw you out of your seat!,
By Fenixfire077 (East Quogue, Southampton, NY - USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Joe Dirt (DVD)
This sophomoric comedy presents all which it should - immaturely styled jokes, crude sense of humor. Performances are outstanding! David Spade isn't his clever and witty self in this one. Anticipate familiar styles from crew such as Christopher Walken and Brittany Daniel. If you enjoy the Adam Sandler films, don't let yourself miss this one! Those who enjoy the sophisticated, and thinking types of humor - expect to find yourself deeply dissatisfied or enjoying something entirely different.

the forrest gump of smut ridden comedies,
By abe "starman" (wva) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Joe Dirt (VHS Tape)
this movie has a lot of crude humor.by ctude i mean whole parts centered around a dogs private parts and raw sewage on a persons body.yep,pretty nasty.no need for this i say.well,joe is searching for his parents and ends up on a talk show.he goes through his entire wild story starting with being abandoned at the grand canyon as a child and goes on up to the present day.that one loser from a talk show on hbo is the talk show host.he sucks!kid rock plays a redneck who messes with joe all the time.the material here is not suitable for the underage types.it is a good movie all in all and can be enjoyed by most.there is one sexy chick named brandy in it but.........yup ya guessed it,she keeps her shirt on.theres this other skank too.so,its good is the point if you can handle a few nasty parts.
