[Employee of bestbuy] Classic movie! Love having it in my collection!!!!

I love the original Joe Dirt, so I was pumped to hear that they were finally doing a sequel. As with a lot of cult classics, the sequel wasn't as good as the original. They tried too hard for laughs and that to me kept the movie from flowing as well as the first Joe Dirt did. I would recommend to buying it if you're a fan of the first, but don't get your hopes up. It's just like Dumb And Dumber To. The writers tried too hard to top the original.

I have to say, it wasn't half bad. Pretty cheesy like you would expect. Most of the original characters return for this one. Joe has to fight for Brandy's love, again. He goes back in time, and tries to re-enact when he first meets Brandy but, of course he misses his chance. Ok, I don't want to give too much away, so I'll stop there. I think this was definitely better, than what I expected. I would happily watch this again.

The straight to video/DVD sequel is never a good thing. It means the studios didn't see the film as a money maker for them and didn't invest much into the advertising and expensive marketing. Case in point, JDII. It's got some funny parts but nowhere near as good as the first. I was glad to see almost all of the cast return for this one though.

So this didn't actually make it to the theaters but it was still a really good movie if liked the first one. Not as funny but the first ones are always better. Still definitely worth picking up.
