Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser

November 8, 2015

Joe Dirt 2 [2015] starts by ripping off Forest Gump, then Joe (David Spade) is farted on for 20 minutes, afterwards the film goes back to ripping off more films (Wizard of Oz, Cast Away, the first Joe Dirt, It’s a Wonderful Life) while adding tasteless/lazy jokes, then it ends.

It’s just Joe Dirt., calm down: Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 is Shaun of the Dead compared to Joe Dirt 2, it’s not even that Joe Dirt 2 is bad (which it is), it’s insulting. For one it completely ignores the ending of the first Joe Dirt, other than Kicking Wing, Brandy, Clem, and Zander are back.

Stabbing myself in the face with a soldering iron: The original Joe Dirt isn’t a untouchable masterpiece like the Back to the Future trilogy or whatever. But the sequel makes no sense at all. The plot is constantly changing from just another sequel, to Wizard of Oz rip off, then time travel. Wait! it’s all a dream now, ending with ripping off It’s a Wonderful Life (but somehow the time travel bit was real).

This film is not just a pointless sequel, Terminator Genysis (genuinely entertaining) is a pointless sequel. Joe Dirt 2 is like a bad parody film on that’s just as bad/insulting as Disaster Movie, or Meet the Spartans, except this wastes real talent from Christopher Walken, and Patrick Warburton.

There are no redeeming qualities to this movie, and it seems David Spade has also given up on comedy with the Happy Madison crew (Chris Rock is still great, though watch Top Five).

Stay away, not even worth the free price tag.
