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

Life is a garden - Dig it and make the most of it December 25, 2009
Voice in the Wilderness (Northern California, USA)
I just saw this for the first time today and I was surprised. I went into it thinking that it was going to be yet another cheesy "comedy" that lacked comedic insights. Not so. This is a funny, entertaining movie, and I might even go so far as to say that it had some depth sprinkled about the storyline here and there. It's probably the funniest movie that I've seen in the last few years. It's not quite 5-star material though, but it is thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. Definitely worth a rental.

Goofy and simple but we need goofy and simple more and more in this life.

If you are a fan of David Spade's brand of comedy, then you'll enjoy this movie. If you are not a fan, then you probably should pass on this one. In any case, the humor is moronic and goofy at times, which is a good thing, written with the help of David Spade's friend from SNL Fred Wolf. The story entails the saga of Joe Dirt, left by his parents at the Grand Canyon, as a kid, must fend for himself and find his own way in life, told in flashback to a radio talk show host, played by Dennis Miller. Also starring Kid Rock as the menacing neighbor.
'Joe Dirt' (Sony) Running time: 90 minutes August 5, 2009
Mike Reed (USA)
# 123. Quite entertaining 2001 comedy that finds janitor / low-life / redneck wanna-be Joe Dirt (David Spade) in search of his long lost family that he hasn't seen since he was eight years old. Radio host Zander Kelly (Dennis Miller) takes a special interest in Dirt's story - as he tells it on 'air' over the course of several days. Dirt's gal pal, the sexy country girl of a small community Silvertown, Brandy (Brittany Daniel) seems to find that 'something appealing' about this society reject. Upside is that Joe Dirt turns out to be a geniune nice guy, yet many still think low and laugh at him. A humorous scene: when Buffalo Bob (Brian Thompson) keeps Dirt hostage in a 'Silence Of The Lamb' spoof. Not sure how this film did in the theaters, but it's still fun to watch on the TV.
Ya Gotta Love 'Joe Dirt' February 28, 2009
Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
For a typical low-brained Hollywood comedy of this era, it was a pretty nice film. Of course, few if any modern-day comedies are "family fare" and this one isn't either but the lead character is a gentle, harmless guy.
David Spade is very entertaining as "Joe Dirt," a down-and-out nice guy (but not exactly pure, either) who tells his tale of trying to find his parents to sleazy disc jockey "Zander Kelly" (Dennis Miller). Brittany Daniel is an attractive, likable female lead.
It's a fast-moving hour-and-a-half. Some of the scenes are outrageous, such as a dog getting his - can I say this? - testicles stuck to the porch. Yes, it's good family fare!! Ha. Ha. No, really, this was a funny film and worth looking for if you need a laugh. I'm surprised there wasn't a sequel.
