Joe Dirt

Starring: David Spade, Dennis Miller, Brittany Daniel, Kid Rock, and Christopher Walken

Directed by: Dennie Gordon

Synopsis: A white trash man is searching across America for his parents who he got separated from at the Grand Canyon when he was 8 years old. He is discovered by a radio talk show host and he tells his story over the radio.

My thoughts: This isn't an award-winning movie by any standards, but the filmmakers new this and they acknowledge that fact in their marketing techniques. What this movie is, however, is a nice piece of entertaining mediocrity. Not since Forrest Gump has there been such a lovable character with so much heart and integrity. This is a very funny and enjoyable movie, but not for all tastes.

Score: 6 out of 10
