Joe dirt is a janitor with a mullet hairdo acid-washed jeans and a dream to find the parents he lost at the grand canyon when he was belligerent trailer park-raised eight-year-old. Now the irrepressibly optimistic joe hits the road alone in search of his folks.

Another of those cut-and-paste comedies from Adam Sandler's production company starring one of Sandler's erstwhile Saturday Night Live colleagues, The Adventures of Joe Dirt finds the magnificently caustic David Spade emasculated by a sentimental script and shapeless, haphazard cutting. Spade plays the title character, a white-trash orphan in search of the parents who abandoned him at the Grand Canyon. The humor is supposed to come from Joe's misadventures, his redneck gullibility, and his encounters with such figures as a serial killer, a wacked-out janitor (Christopher Walken), and a lovable gal (Jamie Pressly) who may, unfortunately, turn out to be his sister. But the squishier requirements of the story, requiring the audience to feel deeply for the pain of Spade's caricature, are an irritant and force Spade to veer from the nastier stuff he does so well. With Kid Rock, Dennis Miller. — Tom Keogh

- Ya Gotta Love 'Joe Dirt'
- For a typical low-brained Hollywood comedy of this era, it was a pretty nice film. Of course, few if any modern-day comedies are "family fare" and this one isn't either but the lead character is a gentle, harmless guy.
David Spade is very entertaining as "Joe Dirt," a down-and-out nice guy (but not exactly pure, either) who tells his tale… More reviews

- This movie was very good, and how the critics picked on it disturbs me. Its pretty funny and the acting by David Spade its pretty good. It was one of those movies that are under appreciated , and its really cheap so its definitely worth the money.… More reviews
