43A full-throated shout-out to the lowest common denominator.
-
63Spade, who almost invariably plays smug or smarmy characters, proves he really can act.
-
38Joe Dirt is so obviously a construction that it is impossible to find anything human about him; he is a concept, not a person.
-
For all its promise of lively trailer-park humor, Joe Dirt digs, then lies in its own grave, killed by blah characters, lame jokes and cliches you can see coming a mile away.
-
25Knows its audience and doesn't stint on the flatulence jokes, poop jokes, leg-humping dogs and moments of homo-panic.
-
25Structured loosely enough to work in all the excrement and incest jokes necessary to seem hip these days.
-
0Talk about waste products; think of the time, effort and money that went into this movie.
-
50This sentimental comedy is generally sweet natured.
-
There's an oddball quality to the ensemble that might even be lovable if the movie weren't so glib and perfunctory.
-
50Ends up blowing its own joke. Instead of making Joe blissfully arrogant in his Southern rock dude myopia, it turns him into a shuffling masochistic loser.
-
If you are in touch with your inner 14-year-old child, you could do worse.
-
50This underdog comedy and its title character have considerable charm.
-
40It's only when you see the movie that you discover how completely the film misses opportunities to develop these ideas into anything like movie comedy.
-
30What makes it so disappointing is that the movie is just another sub-Farrelly-brothers collection of miscellaneous gags.
-
30Rich with comic potential that goes unfulfilled, time after stupefying time.
-
20Relentlessly softheaded and softhearted.
-
10In one scene, raw sewage is dumped on Joe. See Joe Dirt and you'll know how that feels.
-
10All failed concept and misfired comedy.
-
10We should be asking ourselves why so noble a nation would produce swill like Joe Dirt.
-
0Sandler and Spade continue their avid quest to dumb down America.
-
50Little more than a series of sketches, tied together by Joe's on-air interrogation by a nasty shock jock played by Dennis Miller.
-
38Just a big chunk of waste flushed from a Hollywood studio.
-
25We have to endure 93 minutes of this torture, with only a few high points.
-
Even with help from a pathetic Kid Rock and a boost from always-on Christopher Walken, Spade can't pull this off.
-
10Takes a prominent place along with "Tomcats," "Say It Isn't So," "Saving Silverman" and "Get Over It" on the list of reasons why raucous teen farce is headed six feet under.
-
10Redefines the notion of a feature film another notch downward.

Exceedingly boring and relentlessly cliched, Joe Dirt may deliver one or two brief laughs along the way, but it's not enough to break up the lag.
