Charlotte Observer
Spade, who almost invariably plays smug or smarmy characters, proves he really can act.

Ends up blowing its own joke. Instead of making Joe blissfully arrogant in his Southern rock dude myopia, it turns him into a shuffling masochistic loser.

One of the best comedies of the 2000s. It was hilarious, entertaining and also very touching.

This movie is pure genius. "You're going to stand there, owning a fireworks stand and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honky lighters, hoosker-dos, hoosker-dont's, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers (with or without the scooter stick) or one single whistling kitty chaser?"

Just a big chunk of waste flushed from a Hollywood studio.

USA Today
Structured loosely enough to work in all the excrement and incest jokes necessary to seem hip these days.

Baltimore Sun
Even with help from a pathetic Kid Rock and a boost from always-on Christopher Walken, Spade can't pull this off.

In one scene, raw sewage is dumped on Joe. See Joe Dirt and you'll know how that feels.

Sandler and Spade continue their avid quest to dumb down America.

This movie is hilarious and how is it not funny. The critics are always picking on the comedy movies with David Spade and the other comedians of the SNL circuit.

This is one of my favorite movies. It is so implausible and so so funny. There are some truly side splitting laughs in this movie. Joe gets the totally hot chick, Christopher Walken is classic as a former hit man in Witness Protection. I love you Joe Dirt!

Exceedingly boring and relentlessly cliched, Joe Dirt may deliver one or two brief laughs along the way, but it's not enough to break up the lag.

La película es bastante absurda, desde el principio sabes lo que va a pasar, es bastante obvia, los lugares que visita Joe, las personas que conoce son igual de extrañas que el, pero en otro contexto con otra historia, pero es justamente lo extraña de sus historias que pueden congeniar con la historia de Joe. Tiene un par de chistes buenos, otros tantos insufribles pero es entrañable a pesar de eso, empatizas con todos los personajes, en especial con Joe, un adulto el cual tiene un deseo de amor insatisfecho por el abandono de sus padres lo que lo lleva a formar una nueva nueva familia con los amigos que encontró en su viaje, es enternecedor. Pero aun así y con cabeza fría la conclusión es que es una pésima película.
