Critics weren't kind to Joe Dirt.  It has an average rating of three out of 10 and one of the well-known multiple review sites.  Those famous TV reviewers both gave it a big thumbs down.  They called it strained and predictable and said the storyline was absurd.  But they thought Spade was OK.

It pulled in nearly $30 million in the USA.  Joe Dirt earned cash.  Its budget was only $16 million.  It also made it to number one in New Zealand.  But David Spade joked that New Zealand is only the size of Kmart.  Dennis Miller often mentions the movie.  He's even interviewed David Spade about it.

Joe Dirt works at a Los Angeles radio station as a low paid janitor.  A producer discovers Joe and his funny white trash habits.  He decides to create a series of interviews for Joe.  The movie is Joe telling his story.

Joe Dirt loves a girl named Brandy.  Joe decides to try to find his parents after Brandy loses her dog.  He travels the country.  He has some wacky adventures.  He meets some weird people.  He works many jobs to make ends meet.  That's how he came to work at the station.

Eventually Joe Dirt gives up a search and returns to Brandy.  He finds out that she knows that his parents were killed while he was visiting the Grand Canyon.  His search was useless.  

Joe Dirt has become popular with listeners.  He's a celebrity.  A woman claiming to be his mother calls him.  It turns out it's all a scam.  She's trying to sell figurines using his name.  She is his mother, but she's only interested in money.

Then Joe Dirt tries to kill himself.  He's  saved by a bungee cord.  But he hits his head on the way back up.  He later wakes up at Brandy's house surrounded by many of the people he's met on his journey.  He has finally found a family.  It's pretty bad.  Critics hated it for good reason.
