Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser (2015)

Good concept, poorly executed.

Beautiful, moving film.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I thought Joe Dirt was a great character, a likable guy just couldn't catch a break. I didn't know that a sequel was made until I saw it at the video store. I was excited to see what else was in store for Joe. I ended up fast forwarding through the movie, just to get it over with. I don't know if this movie was made by Spade for the Joe Dirt fans wanting more, or just a cash grab by the studio. I liked seeing most of the original cast returning. Brittney Daniel seemed to have the most energy in the movie. The rest of the cast didn't have the edginess that made the first movie so fun to watch. Im surprised that this was what was allowed to be the followup to the classic Joe Dirt movie.

As other reviewers have mentioned, watch this movie for yourself, don't be mislead by the haters. Having no expectations, reading negative reviews, I had set the bar pretty low. Just like the first, I had no desire to watch it...but I'm glad I did. The story line allows for a funny sequel. There are references to characters from the first movie, funny jokes and encounters with new character(s) every scene. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Every minute was satisfying. This will end up as a cult classic, especially if you end up watching it several times.

This was a bad,bad movie... Completely awful, I don't even know where to begin. I really liked the first one, the story was cool, jokes were excellent, had that Adam Sandler humor going on. But this one - nothing. Absolutely nothing. I haven't had one laugh throughout the whole movie. They've managed to put in,at least 3 minutes long,"farting in the face" scene on the very beginning of the movie. And it got even worse after that!!! Farting, nuts stuck in the toilet scene, farting,dick in the popcorn scene, farting, boobs, gay jokes, boobs, farting... Such a shame what they did with this movie. You can see that even the actors don't give a damn,they don't even try to make it better. What a nasty way to take people's money! In the end - nothing made any sense, especially why i watched it whole the way through.I just feel more stupid now!I don't recommend it, don't watch it! Better take a two hour nap or something, it will be a time better spent!

"It's not 2015, it's 1965." Joe Dirt (Spade) has the perfect life. Beautiful wife, great kids and is happy, but still doesn't think he's good enough. After a tornado rips through his town Joe finds himself in the past. Trying to figure out how to get back home Joe realizes that this is his chance to change who he is and become the person he thinks his wife Brandy (Daniel) really wants. The more he tries to change the worse things get. This is a sequel that I'm not sure many people were asking for. That said it wasn't that bad. There was some funny stuff in this and was about the same type of humor, maybe a little more sappy, than the original. I do really like David Spade though. The movie was a mix of Forrest Gump, Wizard of Oz and It's A Wonderful Life all mixed with a redneck spin, and to me that actually helped it and was very fun to watch. This is nothing that will become a classic, and it would have bombed bad in theaters, but as far as a rental and watch at home movie you could do worse. I liked it and was entertained enough by it. Overall, if you liked the first one you will like this one too. I give it a B.
