If you fall within the target audience of Joe Dirt, you may find it funny. Otherwise, the jokes will seem like a tired retread.

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.

With its quirky characters, silly sight gags, and the tasteless humor that has become a staple among teen comedies of late, this film will not fail to amuse its market.

"not a great movie by any means, (but) an amusing way to pass the time."

There's no mistaking that you'll get anything other than entertainment of the lowest brow.

It seems to be a movie made by people using controlled substances for audiences also under the influence. It cannot be enjoyed any other way.

To shield us from the negative side effects of class mockery, Joe Dirt erects a clumsy edifice of denial and avoidance that entirely dissipates the movie's comedic energy.
