MPAA RATING: PG-13 for crude and sex-related humor, and for language
Starring David Spade, Christopher Walken, Dennis Miller, Joe Don Baker, Brittany Daniel, and Kid Rock
The year is 1975 and little Joe Dirt is dumpster diving at a Grand Canyon tourist stop. After gorging himself on half-eaten snacks, he emerges from the garbage bin, only to find that his parents have left him. Now grown up and working as a janitor, Joe's got a mullet hairdo, acid-washed jeans, and a dream -- to find the parents that he lost, or lost him. (Columbia Tristar)

The critics are idiots that was the best movie in the world!

26 reviews for a score of 20. This movie is funny. It seems that the critics once again prove they are out of touch with the common man. Either that or they are all someone's ex-girlfriend. I've met very few women that like these kinds of movies. It must be a guy thing.
Jackson G. gave it an8:
This is a comedy... you don't need to be able to identify with someone if you're laughing at them (actually, it's better off if you don't identify with them). So, Ebert, you're a dumbass. My brother and I have been left quoting this movie 5 years later... and people still know what we're referring to. That shows this movie's true genius: One liners w/ a real punch.
Chota C. gave it a10:
a fabulous comedy though slapstick and crude yet strikes a cord ....i put it in the same league as 'robinhood-men in tights'...lmao....and 'burning saddles' dotn leave neither of them.
Theo B. gave it a9:
Poorly done but highly entertaining! If you liked Tommy Boy you'll love Joe Dirt. Hot Chicks, Kid Rock, and one-liners... who could ask for much more?
Big K. gave it a10:
This film is well worth watching. Spade's acting and timing are genius in this film. Like others here, I liked the film so much after renting it in a fit of boredom that I bought it. Well worth it, in fact, I might watch it again tonight... Now one of my fav's.
Sam gave it a2:
Does Joe Dirt have a few laughs? Sure. Does it have a few moments that are so lame and pathetic that they just make me want to commit suicide? No, there are thousands. It's not a very good movie, and like the dreadful Napoleon Dynamite, it's an overated by viewers travesty.
