      Dave N Classic comedy, and a great cast! Don't bash a fun & silly movie, this is comedy gold. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Brad H It's not to bad. Not sure why big critics give movies such bad reviews. An actor like Spade is what saved this movie. Anyone else would have been 0 stars. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review James E I perfectly good time for some trash laughs that you can't help but love if you were raised around a certain type of people, and that's not at all a bad thing. Easy to understand why people hate it, but just as easy to understand why people love it Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Cera F this came out when I was in sixth grade. I just watched it for the first time since sixth grade. Now, I appreciate it was there when I was there Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Sara D This movie is a classic. Good jokes and story! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review keith p You either love it or hate it. I loved it as do most (not all) of my family.

      Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader Contrived yet unpretentious, predictable yet surprising, this underdog comedy and its title character have considerable charm. Feb 28, 2007 Full Review Marrit Ingman Austin Chronicle Sally forth, gentle viewer, and enjoy yourself. En route, you will experience a steady supply of doo-doo jokes, dispensed in seven-minute intervals by the Script-O-Tron 3000TM. Rated: 0/5 Mar 10, 2003 Full Review Rick Groen Globe and Mail A comic named David Spade stars in a movie called Joe Dirt, and that's about as funny as things get here. Rated: 1/4 Mar 19, 2002 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) In place of anything resembling a plot, the movie wheels-out a tired collection of set-piece gross-outs for Joe to endure. Rated: 1/5 Jul 31, 2020 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Crass, formulaic comedy with bullying, cartoonish violence. Rated: 2/5 Jun 23, 2015 Full Review Mark Halverson Sacramento News & Review Rated: 1/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
