Why so much hype?

... View MoreThis 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!
... View MoreWhile few were screaming for a sequel to Joe Dirt there was that feeling that maybe the character could pull it off if given some real meat on the bones sort of speak.Joe Dirt 2 fails to deliver on all counts as first and foremost it seems like a poorly recycled story told in disconnected vignettes. There is such little cohesion in the parts, suck lackluster writing, and a beyond casual performance turned in by David Spade.I guess there's a thin reference to "It's A Beautiful Life" that is suppose to be mined (or even A Christmas Carol if you make a huge stretch). Dirt goes to the past to learn a lesson for the present. A movie like this lives on the power of the character being really funny in a story at least with some legs to it. Everything is just flat: the story, the jokes, and, hugely, Spade's totally uninspired delivery. Even the "insider" stuff misses. I think we've seen the last of the man in "The Tennessee Tophat".

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.
... View MoreSpoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! This movie was atrocious. The script was horrible. The comedy was mediocre at best. It did retain some of the original cast, and the new faces really didn't do it any favors either. **SPOILER** There's a scene in the beginning of the movie in which a group of of people all practically shart in his face, repeatedly. I didn't quite know what to make of that after I saw it. As the movie dragged on my brothers who loved the original fell asleep half way through. When it was over I came to the conclusion that the Original movie had a lot more going for it. Also 15 years ago peoples attitudes were different to this sort of comedy. Aside from the movies own short comings, which are many, I don't think people will find this movie as funny as the first. Its just not worth seeing really, unless you don't mind boredom.
