Reviews for Joe Dirt
Top CriticContrived yet unpretentious, predictable yet surprising, this underdog comedy and its title character have considerable charm.

Top CriticA comic named David Spade stars in a movie called Joe Dirt, and that's about as funny as things get here.

Top CriticIn one scene, raw sewage is dumped on Joe. See Joe Dirt and you'll know how that feels.
04/18/01
Top CriticWere nature to take the course they both seem to want, the movie could end in 15 minutes. And it would still be too long.
04/13/01
Top CriticTo see it is to sit through scene after scene like the one in which a hulking oil rigger spattered with crude takes a leak on some smoldering ashes for no reason at all.
04/13/01
Top Critic[Miller's] reduced to the guy in the backseat spouting off obscure nerdisms when everyone else just wants to talk dirty and get stupid.
04/13/01
Top CriticDavid Spade is a redneck with heart, but he can't pull a movie out of acid-washed jeans and a mullet.
04/12/01
Top CriticAt one point, Joe gets excrement poured all over his precious mullet, and that, in essence, is what the entire movie does to him.
04/12/01
Top CriticSpade's generic nonperformance is the centerpiece of a very wobbly story, and he simply isn't enough of an actor to keep you interested.
04/12/01
Top CriticKilled by blah characters, lame jokes and clichs you can see coming a mile away.
04/12/01
Top CriticLife is a garden. If something stinks, bury it.
04/11/01
Top CriticJoe Dirt knows its audience and doesn't stint on the flatulence jokes, poop jokes, leg-humping dogs and moments of homo-panic.
04/11/01
Top CriticDirt's cup runneth over with excrement, fornicating animals and that perennial favorite of Hollywood comedy, homophobic slurs.
04/11/01
Top CriticDirector Dennie Gordon tries too hard to milk sympathy for the none-too-bright Joe, who at one point adopts what he thinks is a meteor for a friend. Of course, it turns out to be more toxic waste, like Joe Dirt.
04/11/01
Top CriticMore like a whole season of connected SNL skits than a real movie.
04/11/01
Top CriticYou could save your money and watch this kind of mind-numbing, lowest-common-denominator dreck for free by flipping on the television and finding The Jerry Springer Show.
