Joe Dirt

Rating:
Summary: Far better than Expected, in Story and in Laughs.
Review: The Story of Joe Dirt is a Story that Deserves to be told, it's Funny, Uplifting and... Nice, which was a Change from the Vile, Mean, Gross out comedy I went in Expecting (and of course... Wanted to see). Sure, it has moments of Ingenious Gross out comedy, but At it's Core, and for most of it's Running time, it has a lot of Heart. David Spade's Leap to Big Screen Leading man is a Successful one, like the films producer Adam Sandler, and their Mutual Friend Rob Schneider, Spade is the Underdog with a Heart of Gold and I for one couldn't Wait to see him come out On Top.

Spade is (you guessed it) Joe Dirt, a Mullet-wearing Loser whose life has been Fraught with Failure and Overcome by Opposition, well Not Quite overcome, as Dirt is an Undying Optimist. He is brought onto a Radio show one day by a Satirical DJ (Dennis Miller) to be the Butt of all the Jokes, but as his story unfolds, the DJ, the Listeners, the Entire Country get caught up in his story and he becomes a National Hero.

The film is Always Amusing, Sometimes Hysterical one. It features a Wonderful Supporting cast that, no matter How much screen time they get, they Give they're all. Dennis Miller is Naturally a Hilarious man, he is also one of the most Underrated comedians in America, I just Love the guy, he can do no wrong. Brittany Daniels is Sugary Sweet and Boundlessly Beautiful as Joe's Sweetheart. Jaime Pressly is Endlessly Sexy and Fiendishly Funny as a Strange Acquaintance of Joe's. Brittany and Jaime are both Unbelievable Beautiful actresses and they also prove themselves to be Quite Talented Comediennes.

Christopher Walken gives a cameo that threatens to Steal the film out from under Joe's feet, he is a Brilliant performer and I Await the day when he takes on a Full-Blown Lead role in a Comedy. It could Happen, don't Poo-poo the idea straight away, just think about it. Rosanna Arquette gives an Amusing performance as well, the one performance in the film that Stands out as Genuinely Bad is Kid Rock's performance. This man is Not an Actor, he is bad, there is no other way of putting it. He looks Very uncomfortable in front of the camera when he is Supposed to be playing a Bully Character. "Joe Dirt" features a Lot of other known faces and Good performances, but to list them all would Bore you and Annoy me, but I will anyway. Fred Ward, Adam Beach and Joe Don Baker. That wasn't so bad.

Overall, it is a Pleasing "Forest Gump"-ish tale of Overcoming Adversity, Accepting Yourself and your Situation and making the audience laugh. I went in thinking it would be a Silly Gross out comedy and I came out Shocked because I'd just seen a Good Film, with a Good Story. Man, I didn't see that coming at all.

Oh, one last thing. When Joe heads to Florida, keep a eye out for a certain funny man from "The Waterboy".

Summary: Forrest Dirt
Review: After watching this film, the first thing that came to mind was "Forrest Gump." This silly comedy gives you a fun story that you'd expect from guys like Sandler and Spade, but with this goofy, feel-good storyline. Spade plays "Joe Dirt," a dim-witted, overly positive redneck who tells his story of searching for his lost parents to Dennis Miller, who plays one of those annoying morning DJ-types. All along his journey, he ends up meeting odd characters and winds up in outrageous situations like Hanks' "Gump." As the film progresses, Los Angeles(where the radio station is located) becomes captivated by the simpleton's plight and he becomes a local hero.
As with any film starring Spade, this movie has some very silly situations, but you can't help but laugh at them no matter how stupid they are. This is one of those movies that falls under the category of "guilty pleasure."

One glaring omission from this film is Chris Farley, who, if alive, would have definitely been in this film. Without Farley, however, Spade does a solid job and gives the viewer what to expect: sophomoric comedy.

One note: "Dirt" is from Louisiana, so was the "Waterboy." This seemed to offend a lot of people from Louisiana because they felt that both films degraded people from the Pelican State. I'm from Louisiana, and I wasn't offended in the least bit. If anything, these films show the resiliency of the Bayou State's people and their "never give up" attitude, albeit in two rather buffoonish characters. Just remember that these characters are so over the top, that you'd have to be an idiot to believe that everyone from Louisiana is so dim-witted.

Summary: I'm shocked by how much I loved this movie!
Review: 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!

Summary: This is an all time favorite!
Review: "Joe Dirt", is a total classic movie. It ranks up there with "Me, Myself and Irene", "Tommy Boy", "There's something about Mary" and oh you can't forget "Dumb and Dumber". If you have seen any of these movies then it's a sure in that you'll love "Joe Dirt". Its one of those movies you'll enjoy over and over again. I think it is the classic lines that just seem to crack you up.

Joe Dirt is a classic white trash trailer dude, that gets lost at the Grand Canyon when he's a kid. He tells his story of where he is today. A janitor at a radio station. The station ends up broadcasting his story and it ends up getting the listners interested and becomes famous.

This story is very humorous and has a bit of a love story in it. I am sure you'll love this movie, if you like comedy.

Summary: A Story of an Average Joe
Review: This film had all the makings of an outstanding movie. David Spade does an excellent job playing the good hearted, but absent minded Joe Dirt.
Since getting separated from his family at the Grand Canyon, Joe has been on his own struggling to get by. One day he meets Brandy, who i develops a liking for Joe even as a jealous Robby (Kid Rock) vies for her affection.
Joe leaves his adoptive home of Silvertown to search across the country for his family. Along the way he dicovers the perils of atmoic weapons, the composition of a metiorite, and even a run in with Buffalo Bob. Joe's journey eventially takes him to the set of MTV, where he meets Carson Daly.

Great casting. Christopher Walken is hillarious in his portrayal of Clem Van Dorn, the ex-gangster turned Country folk working for the feds. Dennis Miller also does a fine job playing...the sarcastic shock jock, Zander Kelly. Walken and Miller really add to the movie.

Summary: The mullet deserves 4 stars, no, I'm not kidding!
Review: This is one of those movies that you look forward to to take a break from the world. You expect to just sit back and relax. While it's not a gut-buster from start-to-finish, you're completely unaware of this because the storyline slyly keeps you entertained. David Spade's not winning any Comedian of the Year awards, but he is actually funnier than expected. The originality of his character, Joe Dirté, along with the unusually well-written script makes for a movie which leaves you with more than just a gut-full of $8 popcorn. Somewhere near the end of the movie, I thought to myself, "Self, what's going on here? Has this movie just made you feel something?? That can't be right." Believe it. All-in-all you leave feeling you haven't just wasted your hard-earned money on cheap laugh-therapy, but invested in a respectable movie that runs away with Sweetest Haircut and Most Shockingly Entertaining awards.

Summary: Is this where you wanna be when Jesus comes back?
Review: 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

Summary: Life's a garden - dig it.
Review: This comedy is like a fine wine, improving every time it's watched. Well written, good jokes,great music, and a stellar cast. David Spade plays a mullet wearing redneck who is abandoned by his parents on a family vacation. The story has Joe Dirt recounting his story on a shock jock radio program. The main theme of family and home are quite heartfelt which is an improvement over gross out comedies.
