Review of Joe Dirt

Joe Dirt (2001)
1/10
This movie is not funny, don't see this.
26 May 2001
As we made our way to the drive in I wondered how I was going to take the movie "Joe Dirt". Well, as respectable as I could be I sat and quietly watched the whole movie. At the end of it not only was I angry that I had wasted my money but I was also mad that I had sat there quietly, because I didn't laugh once!

This Jay Leno/Adam Sandler type humor film stars David Spade as a guy with a mullet trying to find his parents. The story is cheesy and the mix of nostalgic and sappy music helps drill that into your head. None of this really matters though because you know the makers of this film would say "Oh, we were just trying to make a funny movie, not win an oscar." The only problem is the movie isn't funny... at all. The jokes can be seen a mile away and the delivery of them are unoriginal and haphazardly done.

The thing that bothered me the most though was how my enemy was in this film. The decadent, no talent Kid Rock plays himself; a redneck idiot that picks on people and has ten words in his vocabulary. His character is also not funny and very irritating to watch.

I used to like Adam Sandler movies(Yeah I know its terrible.), but he is becoming increasingly predictable and less funny as he gets older. "Joe Dirt" is dirt, and the next movie coming out of this studio "The Animal" I'm sure will be even worse. "Joe Dirt" is a midget short of a Kid Rock video and a million jokes short of being viewable. I give this movie a 1 out of 10. Don't see this!
