Joe Dirt (2001)

Joe Dirt (2001)

5 word summary

White trash searches for parents

Kind of a hard movie to rate, because it really isn’t that good but I do enjoy it. It’s a dumb adventure comedy but it is funny. David Spade isn’t a great actor but he as comedic actions. Much like other of his movies (Tommy Boy, Dickie Roberts, Benchwarmers, Black Sheep) his performance isn’t believable or well done but its usually funny enough to look past.

It has some fun cameos and decent supporting cast, and some pretty hilarious lines and scenes. Christopher Walken was hilarious and almost more memorable than David Spade.

It stays pretty constant all the way through, it has a bit of a drop off towards the end but other than that. So if you start watching it and after 15 minutes you don’t think its funny, I think its safe to say you can turn it off, cause it’s the same kind of comedy the whole way.

If you are a fan of David Spades work this is a decent one that you will most likely enjoy this. The comedy and style of Joe Dirt is closer to that of Benchwarmers and Dickie Roberts than Tommy Boy and Black Sheep.
