 SCREEN IT! ARTISTIC REVIEW: JOE DIRT
Joe Dirt (DAVID SPADE) is a mullet-topped redneck who's been picked on his entire life not only because of his looks, demeanor and name, but also because his parents abandoned him at the Grand Canyon back in 1975 when he was just eight-years-old.
As Joe tells his tale of his never ending search for his parents, various flashbacks shows Joe's efforts as well as his encounters with various people around the country.
As Joe continues telling his story to Zander over the radio and recounts meeting others and holding down a variety of odd jobs, he soon becomes something of a celebrity, all while still trying to find his parents and figure out why they left him so many years ago.

 :: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Joe Dirt (xhtml)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Joe's haircut is one of those 1970s mullet jobs; we learn it's not real hair but a wig supplied by his parents to cover a crack in his infant head that exposed his brain.
Joe's origins and adventures are related many years later, when he happens into the studio of a talk jock played by Dennis Miller, whose own facial hair makes him look uncannily like the BBC's recent computer reconstruction of historical Jesus.
Joe Dirt is so obviously a construction that it is impossible to find anything human about him; he is a concept, not a person, and although Spade arguably looks better in the mullet wig than he does with his trademark mop-top, he still has the same underlying personality.

 Variety.com - Reviews - Joe Dirt
Watching "Joe Dirt" is a dirty business, but someone's got to do it, if only to report that, under normal circumstances, a picture this lame co-written by and starring a comic performer would be enough to relegate him to second banana status for the indefinite future.
After a stupefying interlude in which Joe takes a modest-sized fallen meteor as his traveling companion, he has an equally clever "meet cute" with perky farm girl Brandy (Brittany Daniel), in which he demonstrates how to extricate her dog's balls from a frozen porch.
Joe's ingrown mullet wig is good for a couple of laughs early on, and Christopher Walken's insistence that his name is not "Clem" but "Gert Frobe" (the actor who played Goldfinger) will cause some buffs to wonder if they're hearing right.

 Joe Dirt
Joe Dirt is any indication, the script has become a completely superfluous element of film production.
Joe Dirt has to offer instead: a meteor comprised of frozen human feces; firecrackers inserted into a cow's rectum; a dog with his scrotum frozen to a porch; flames shooting up a stream of urine; and everyone's sentimental favorite, an overflowing septic tank depositing its contents on our hero's head.
Perhaps Dirt is meant to be his attempt at breaking free of his usual prissy, self-satisfied persona.
