3.0 out of 5 stars IT MADE ME LAUGH
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...

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars This hairbrained comedy will throw you out of your seat!, July 20 2004

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars the forrest gump of smut ridden comedies, July 10 2004
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mophead, Jun 30 2004
This review is from: Joe Dirt (DVD)
Okay some people like "Dumb and Dumber" and I wonder why. Well they are certainly entitled to their opinion. After laughing so hard at this movie I have to admit I see their point. Let's face it their are some goofy movies that may not have great acting or even much of a story but they are just plain funny. Any fans of movies like "A Night at the Roxbury", "The Waterboy", and "Deuce Bigolow, Male Gigolo" should find this funny. Certainly fans of Saturday Night Live should like it. I have seen men, women, kids, and even grandparents laugh at this one. Considering they made a TV series based on this type person, it must have had something people liked. At least rent it, I don't think you will be disappointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Horrible script; Spade had no room to act, Jun 27 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Joe Dirt (VHS Tape)
This was one of those movies I really wanted to like; I truely did. However, we all know that David Spade's best and funniest moments are when he's allowed to use his sadistic, yet witty humor to bring people down. That's what made Tommy Boy such a success; Chris Farrley (who, by the way, NO ONE can ever replace) and David Spade were total opposites, yet they complimented each on screen very well (ex. Chris Farrley said in "Tommy Boy", "You know, a lot of people go to college for seven years!", to which Spade replies "I know; they're called doctors......oh that HAS to be you."). Come on.....that's FUNNY! This movie simply is not. It gets an extra star simply because it has a lot of heart, and most people will legitimately feel sorry for Spade (both his character and in real life). However, this movie has to contain the worst script I've ever heard in my entire life! How is Spade supposed to be funny when the directors and screenwriters have everyone walking all over him throughout the duration of the movie? BOOOOOOORING!!!! None of the people who bully Spade/Joe in the movie have anything witty to say; their jokes constist entirely of "wow, your mullet is outdated!" and "you're dirty and short!" said bluntly without any attempt to get a laugh outta the audience. This is one of those movies that you can't watch with the mindset that it's a comedy, because it simply is not. It is the only movie I've ever watched that I was unable to laugh even once. I laughed more during "The Hot Chick", for crying out loud! (of course, that's because Anna Faris was in it; we all know Rob Schneider's career should have been cut short after that disaster of a film "Deuce Bigalow"). Hopefully, Spade will be able to move on after this depressing film that could have been so much funnier if Spade was allowed to be himself.

4.0 out of 5 stars So Dumb It's Funny, Jun 27 2004
By 
This review is from: Joe Dirt (DVD)
This movie has kind of got everything in it... a little comedy, a little action, a little romance, and a little adventure.

What is it About?:
Joe Dirt is about a white-trash trailer guy who gets lost at the Grand Canyon when he is a kid. He works at a radio station as a janitor. He is called into a radio show and tells his life story. He tells you about what he did trying to find his parents and inspires the entire world. "Life's a garden, dig it". In the story you learn about how he went through life with nothing but a dog and a friend. In the end there is a twist that will surprise everyone.

This was a hilarious movie. It's worth buying because I've watched at least 10 times.

This review is from: Joe Dirt (DVD)
When I first saw this movie advertised, I thought it would be the story of a white trash guy with a mullet, trying to pick up hot chicks. I was so wrong! It's actually about a guy with a heart of gold who only has one goal in life, to find his family who he lost at the grand canyon as a child. Along the way he makes many friends and becomes a radio celeberty. He also finds true love. This movie is so great because it proves that even the underdog has a chance at happiness!

Ziggy "ZIG" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Joe Dirt (DVD)
Joe Dirt is the delightful comedy about a boy with a mullit wig surgically implanted in his head. He gets lost at the Grand Canyon when he was 8 and his heroic Journey to find his parents. I recomend this movie to everyone and the following is a quote from Joe Dirt himself:

"When I was little i was sittin' in my room jerkn' my gerkn' and my mother came in saw me and said is this were you wanna be when Jesus comes back Jerkn' your Gerkn'" -Joe dirt
