Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
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

4 out of 5 stars I KNOW "THEY" SAY I SHOULDN'T LIKE THIS MOVIE, BUT....I DO!!!.......2007-06-13

Silly,stupid...ridiculous! Yes, you could say all of these things about "Joe Dirt"! You could also say it's Funny,hilarious and damn good entertainment! This movie grows on you and the DVD transfer and extras are very good.

5 out of 5 stars Funny movie.......2007-04-29

I thought this movie was kind of sad too because this movie starred a loser joe dirt (david spade) who every one makes fun of or even bullys him and he's just a lonley person who spents his whole life searching for his parents who left him in the grand canyon to die or something. But yet he travels the united states and makes friends and a hot girlfriend who by the way joe doesn't know she loves him he finds jobs around the united states to make money on the road for the search of his parents. Now you all got to wonder something how on earth can you lose your parents like that and wonder how come all these years they never came back to look for you. This was hilariously funny but it was sad how he never got the picture that his parents were corrupted bad people who just left him out there on purpose.

4 out of 5 stars Dang!.......2006-04-12

This is one of those movies that's so stupid, it's funny... There are a host of amusing characters that Joe Dirt encounters along his journey to find the white-trash parents who abandoned him in his youth. Joe Dirt learns from each of them, and vice versa - and there are funny moments all along.

It certainly doesn't compare all too well when held up to Spade's previous work with Chris Farley in Tommy Boy and Black Sheep, but it's got enough stupid humor to keep most comedy fans happy. I enjoyed this movie a great deal and I recommend it highly.

5 out of 5 stars Joe Dirt - a laughfest.......2006-02-16

This movie is absoulutely funny. It makes you laugh all the way through. The cast couldn't have been picked better and the storyline is original. It's jokes about his hair and T-shirts are worth the watching all by themselves. The charecters are so hilarious because of their speech and mannerisms. For a good laugh, this is the one to watch over and over.

4 out of 5 stars Life's a garden,dig it!.......2005-12-11

Joe Dirt[David Spade],is a trailer trash simpleton abondoned by his parents when he was eight years old[he did'nt know that at the time]so he set out on a quest to find them.But life throws him tough punches...doing a lot of odd jobs and dealing with a lot of odd people and he does'nt seem to have a clue about very much,especially love.The movie is actually in the form a story that Joe is telling to a DJ[Dennis Miller]at a studio where he was working as janitor.So get the movie and enjoy!
