I was initially fearful that this movie would be terrible, especially after finding out that it wouldn't be on the big screen. The idea of seeing David Spade starring in a big movie again really excited me too. It's been a long time, and I'm a big fan. So, I watched this movie as soon as I could online.
The movie is a fun trip through the mind of Joe Dirt set in a familiar story so it's easy to understand. If you hadn't seen the first film, you would have no problem seeing this one for sure. And if you have seen the first one, you'll enjoy seeing all of the characters from the first again in a different way. At the end of the day, Joe is a real down to earth guy who is always learning and growing, and that's what this movie is about.
It wasn't the perfect sequel, though. As others have noted, it was not a movie we really needed. The story of Joe Dirt could have ended with the first movie just fine. The first had a more original feeling story, whereas this movie is recycling the It's a Wonderful Life story again. Doing that makes it feel more like a long episode of a TV show, since so many shows have used that plot. Not to mention that there are a couple of gags that just weren't funny at all.
This definitely isn't the better movie, as Spade claims. But if you're interested in getting more insight into Joe Dirt's mind, you will enjoy it. I know I enjoyed the ride. There were more funny jokes and fun moments that fit right into the feel of Joe Dirt. Plus, it's free to watch right now, so why wouldn't you at least check it out?
