The listeners love Joe Dirt.  He’s a celebrity.  A woman claiming to be his mother calls him.  But it’s just a trick.  She’s trying to sell figurines using his name.  They really are his parents, but they’ve only contacted him to make money.

At the end of the movie Joe Dirt tries to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. Someone ties him with a bungee cable to save his life.  But he hits his head on the way back up.  He later wakes up at Brandy’s house surrounded by many of the people he’s met on his journey.  Now he has a family.  That’s not much of a plot.  No wonder critics didn’t like the movie.

Joe Dirt is proof that Hollywood is desperate for good movies.
