Grime and Punishment

One interesting though unintended critique that can be taken from Joe Dirt is an implicit judgment on over-aggressive media and the popular voyeurism in TV shows today. Joe’s personal life is broadcast to millions, his burgeoning fame encourages cameras to violate any semblance of privacy. Additionally, others begin to use Joe for his newfound fame.

This hackneyed film is not worth seeing in the theaters, perhaps not even worth renting. One of Joe Dirt’s favorite mottoes is “Life’s a garden, dig it.” I suggest you dig a deep hole, dump Joe Dirt inside and bury it.
