SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Michael Ledo The sequel opens with Dennis Miller doing his typical comical similes, demonstrating he is more knowledgeable about bad hillbilly teeth than Monday Night Football. The film starts out with a good comical, if not slightly crude, birth scene. The film had better scenes, and is more enjoyable if one does not attempt to think about continuity. The movie is a Joe Dirt "It's a Wonderful Life" sort of but not exactly. The movie also spoofs other film scenes including the "Wizard of Oz", "Back to the Future:, and "Forrest Gump."There were some comical moments, some scenes that didn't work, and a touch of genius, and a bit of crudeness. It is an enjoyable heart warming film for Hollywood versions of rednecks. End credits includes bloopers.Guide: F-bomb. No sex, or nudity.
wolfsblood66210 A lot of people are missing the point of this movie. It's not so much a sequel as a celebration of the 1st film (as Blues Brothers 2000 was to The Blues Brothers). And it is hilarious. If you look at in that light, and just enjoy the jokes, this movie should make you laugh. I'll take it any day over most Hollywood comedies. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because the writers had to be politically correct and have Joe Dirt say something nice about Martin Luther King, as if a guy like him would admire MLK. More likely he'd think King was a fraud and whatnot.
Tony Heck "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.
FlashCallahan So there was so much demand from fans to David Spade, begging him to make a sequel to his quite average creation from the early noughties, he felt the need to respect his fans and make this? David, I think you've lost a lot of credit, and by the look on your face in many scenes, I think you know this.The plot consists of many elements from other movies, most notably The Wizard Of Oz, It's A Wonderful Life, Back To The Future, and Scrooged, but with all the heart and soul from those movies torn out and disposed of.I suppose the moral of the whole film is that the grass isn't always greener, and money doesn't buy you love and happiness, but it seems that the makers have just wanted to string a load of insufferable bodily fluid gags together, throw in a couple of strange cameos and hope that it all turns out well in the end.The majority of the cast from the first film are back, probably because they haven't worked in years, and again, several of the cast members look bemused to be there.Daniels to be fair is really good, at least she looks as if she's putting some effort into it.But it's Spade who comes out the worse for wear in this, and after initially becoming annoyed with his characters loser like like qualities, I found myself actually feeling sorry for Spade, because after the Castaway homage, he really starts to look bewildered and embarrassed with everything that is going on.Spade was once a quite sharp instrument, he really made mundane movies like Black Sheep that little more endearing,thanks to his sarcastic traits.But here, it's all gone, Spade just looks so drained, so tired, it's as if the film is a metaphorical on your knees beg to Adam Sandler to cast him in his next film.And this is a Happy Madison production.When a film makes you feel sorry for a multi-millionaire film star, something is seriously wrong.
