Summary: You're in for major giggles!
Review: Dennie Gordon, who has directed episodes of Dawson's Creek and Party of Five, now invites us on The Adventures of Joe Dirt. Joe Dirt (Just Shoot Me's David Spade) is a wacky radio DJ abandoned as a child by his trailer trash parents at the Grand Canyon. On his hilarious mission to find them, Joe stumbles upon his true love. But he has to duke it out with Kid Rock to win her heart! Will Joe find what he's searching for or will he be left in the dust?

Summary: Not really worth the time, but amusing sometimes.
Review: Joe Dirt is a black comedy. Not as black as you can get, but dark. I don't have a problem with that, in fact, I love black comedies. But only when they can build up to the laughter, when it actually means something. This is not the case in Joe Dirt, the comedy - which is at times hilarious, at others laughably unfunny - is just quick snippits and then back to the story that has David Spade looking for his parents. That is not entirely bad, but the story falls flat later on in the movie because it has no more supporting material. Other than that, the performances aren't that impressive; yeah, their not supposed to be because it's the enjoyment and the comedy that matters, but it would be nice to see some great performances reminiscent of maybe Peter Sellers in a modern movie. The film is also very unrealistic. But, this movie has a cool hair-do and some original characters, which make it bearable enough to sit through. But, sometimes you just wonder why all the people around you are laughing at such typical jokes. I would most highly recommend Joe Dirt to a teenage audience, they'll get hyped up about the 'coolness' and enjoy talking about it on the ride home.

Summary: My 2 cents...
Review: Well, me being the type of person with a screwball sense of humor, I found this movie quite enjoyable. Granted, it was slow at first, and I was actually annoyed with my husband for dragging me to the film, but after a few minutes I began to enjoy it. There was even a moment that I teared up....and it wasn't even PMS causing the emotion. LOL! All in all, a good time.Oh, and I found the Silence of the Lambs thing HILARIOUS.... "It puts the lotion on it's skin..." : )

Summary: Remember how much of a waste Magnolia was?
Review: Within the first two minutes you will know that you have just committed yourself to an hour and a half of pure [less than admirable viewing]. Okay, that's a bit harsh, but this is not a good movie. I gave it 2 stars because giving it just 1 would have looked like I didn't take the care to actually think about my rating. It is best described as a smokey-frat-house attempt at "Forest Gump for Dummies." While the movie has a few rollickingly funny moments (akin to the South Park movie), it is overall troubled. Good cameos by Kid Rock (not a good actor, thankfully) and Dennis Miller. ...

Summary: Aims for the heart and funny bone and scores both times!
Review: David Spade is one of the funniest men alive and this movie is hillarious and sometimes kind of touching. If you like a movie that shows the underdog winning for a change and makes you laugh along the way, check it out, you'll be glad you did. Life's a garden, dig it!

Summary: It lives up to the name "Dirt".
Review: Weak and pretty pointless movie of a young man (David Spade) who tries to find the parents that he never knew. He hits the road and goes on to become a hit at a radio station. Featureing a lot of rock and roll music, and patheic jokes that aren't funny.

Summary: Doesn't Deserve A Star
Review: Joe Dirt is an udderly boring comedy about some moron, who was ditched by his parents at eight. David Spade suprisingly did a nice job, but the plot was horrible. Between the perverted comments and retarded jokes, Joe Dirt scores lower than dirt on my recommendations. I truly feel sorry for David Spade because this will completely ruin his image. A radio talk-show host gets Joe to spill his life's sad story over the radio. Joe starts off by him being ditched at the Gran Canyon when he was eight. The movie continues as Joe runs into: A copy of Hannibal Lecter, a country girl named Brandy, a witness relocatee (gets him in big trouble), an Indian dude, and a large collection of other completely strange things. Joe Dirt is a complete waste of time and should not be considered a choice when selecting a movie to go see.

Summary: David Spade's best!
Review: This is the best comedy that I have seen this year, and also the funniest! David Spade plays a redneck on a search for his long lost parents. This movie has many funny moments, including a spoof of "The Silence of the Lambs" that is just hilarious! This is David Spade's best comedy since "Tommy Boy". GO SEE IT!

Summary: So Dumb It's Funny
Review: 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.
