Joe Dirt (2001) 7/10

Starring : David Spade, Dennis Miller, Brittany Daniel, Christopher Walken
Director : Dennie Gordon
Running Time : 87 mins

Joe Dirt (Spade), a white trash janitor with a bad wig permanently grafted to his head, finds himself telling his life story on a radio show, and how he was abandoned as a child, how he was forced to raise himself and how he began the search for his parents. Along the way he meets some colourful characters and falls in love with Brandy (Daniel), a girl who is theoretically way out of his league.

I actually enjoyed this movie; despite it's ridiculously over the top toilet humour and unlikely plot line. Spade is amiable in the lead, and Daniel is just too hot to watch. There are some odd cameos, including Christopher Walken, and in spite of the fact that most of the jokes are firmly set in the toilet, this does have some heart to it that keeps it watchable.
