Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser

I bought this DVD accidentally thinking it was the original. Took me a while to figure out what I was watching. Though disappointed, I kept watching and had a couple belly laughs. Lots of dick & fart jokes with some gay humor mixed in ("I ain't no party boy") just to be extra offensive.

The plot, if you could call it that, is just a mish-mash of plots lifted from other movies: WIzard of Oz, Back to the Future, Cast Away, It's a Wonderful LIfe, etc.

The only part that hit me with emotional impact was when Joe was talking to young Lynyrd Skynyrd bandmates about the fame and fortune they'll experience in the future. Then one says, "We could buy our own airplane!" OUCH.

Now I know why this didn't get a theatrical release. It's full of the worst thing a comedy can have: awkward, dead air. The first was stupid, low-brow humor, but it was really funny. This one made me want to stop watching after twenty minutes. Not only were the jokes not very funny, I feel like there weren't many of them. Most of it was awkward conversations. The movie would also randomly focus on characters other than Joe Dirt, and they weren't funny. You might chuckle a couple times but the humor is nowhere near as consistent as the original.If you liked the first one, don't watch it. If you didn't like the first one, definitely don't watch it. Just don't watch it.

Well this is not the greatest comedy but it is good for a few giggles. You can do worse - much worse than this little flick.

Worth watching if it comes on TV and you've nothing better to do or watch.

4/10.

Really disappointed in this one. Especially since they had all the original actors all they had to do was make a continuation of the last film make it simple and funny. The whole time travel thing was an absolutely horrible idea. Ruined what could have been a great sequel to an all time classic.

14 years later Joe Dirte (as he likes to call himself) is going through another saga. He married the love of his life, Brandy (Brittany Daniel), and they had triplets (three daughters: Dakota, Cheyenne, and Abilene). Everything was cool in the Dirt world until his daughters saw him being victimized by his coworkers (a fart joke that went waaaay too long). It was then that Joe Dirt figured he had to be different/better to gain the respect of his three little girls.

Joe Dirt was not in need of a sequel--but truthfully how many movies are in need of sequels? But considering the plethora of sequels out there--with the majority of them being awful--this wasn't too bad. David Spade had the same mannerisms, speech and gullibility of Joe Dirt. Brittany Daniels was still the gorgeous love interest. And even Christopher Walken reprised his role as Clem. That's where the parallels stop.

It was not quite as funny and that was really just the writing. It didn't have the same appeal, even the story wasn't as captivating. With all of that it was still entertaining enough.
