Plot: As the title character of Joe Dirt, David Spade plays a white trash janitor at an L.A. radio station, whose mullet hairdo is just one of many personal oddities that make him the object of much ridicule. And the sanitation gig is just the most recent of Joe's many incarnations during a tumultuous life, which got off on the wrong foot when Joe was abandoned at the Grand Canyon by his parents as a young child. After stumbling into the on-air studio, Joe steadily recounts the sad and comical story of how he cared for himself and journeyed around the country trying to relocate his family, all while being prodded, teased, and eventually embraced by a sarcastic deejay (Dennis Miller) and a rapt listening audience. His travels involve stints selling fireworks, wrangling alligators, riding aloft in a car dealership display balloon, and being held captive by a Silence of the Lambs-style serial killer. Despite numerous setbacks and bruising physical injuries, Joe emerges from each episode with his spirit intact as he searches optimistically for his roots, and eventually for the chance to return to the one place he was accepted -- a rural farm where the girl of his dreams (Brittany Daniel) awaits. The directorial debut of Dennie Gordon, Joe Dirt was produced by Adam Sandler's production company, Happy Madison, and features musician Kid Rock, also debuting, in the supporting role of Joe's rival. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide

If you are a fan of David Spade's brand of comedy, then you'll enjoy this movie. If you are not a fan, then you probably should pass on this one. In any case, the humor is moronic and goofy at times, which is a good thing, written with the help of David Spade's friend from SNL Fred Wolf. The story entails the saga of Joe Dirt, left by his parents at the Grand Canyon, as a kid, must fend for himself and find his own way in life, told in flashback to a radio talk show host, played by Dennis Miller. Also starring Kid Rock as the menacing neighbor.

'Joe Dirt' (Sony) Running time: 90 minutes

# 123. Quite entertaining 2001 comedy that finds janitor / low-life / redneck wanna-be Joe Dirt (David Spade) in search of his long lost family that he hasn't seen since he was eight years old. Radio host Zander Kelly (Dennis Miller) takes a special interest in Dirt's story - as he tells it on 'air' over the course of several days. Dirt's gal pal, the sexy country girl of a small community Silvertown, Brandy (Brittany Daniel) seems to find that 'something appealing' about this society reject. Upside is that Joe Dirt turns out to be a geniune nice guy, yet many still think low and laugh at him. A humorous scene: when Buffalo Bob (Brian Thompson) keeps Dirt hostage in a 'Silence Of The Lamb' spoof. Not sure how this film did in the theaters, but it's still fun to watch on the TV.

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 of trying to find his parents to sleazy disc jockey "Zander Kelly" (Dennis Miller). Brittany Daniel is an attractive, likable female lead.

It's a fast-moving hour-and-a-half. Some of the scenes are outrageous, such as a dog getting his - can I say this? - testicles stuck to the porch. Yes, it's good family fare!! Ha. Ha. No, really, this was a funny film and worth looking for if you need a laugh. I'm surprised there wasn't a sequel.
