David Spade: Former funny semi-star
20 May 2005
David Spade and Fred Wolf's follow up to "Joe Dirt", about Dickey Roberts, a former child star trying to re-live a childhood that he never lived in the first place for a role in a film, while having it's moments (moments that are way to far apart), ultimately is a failure. I'm more liable to put the blame of that on director Sam 'ALL my movies are godaweful' Weisman tho, as Spade is a likable enough guy and Wolf seems alright. But when a guy is responsible for "George of the Jungle", "What's the worst that could Happen?" and "the Out of Towners" remake you DON'T give him another job, you kick him in the ass and tell him to get the hell out. Also I laughed whenever Danny Bona'Douche' was on the screen, not because he was funny mind you, but because I remember a story my dad told bout beating the pansy up when he was a kid, and the more stories about him I hear from various other people made me realize that pretty much EVERYone beat him like a red-headed step-child. Those sound like good times.

My Grade: D+

DVD Extras: Commentary by Sam Weisman; Second commentary by David Spade and Fred Wolf; Comedy Central's "Reel Comedy" on the movie; True Hollywood story featurette; Writing the story featurette; Music video & the making of said video; 9 Deled scenes; Theatrical Trailer; and Trailers for "Timeline", "School of Rock", "the Fighting Temptations", and "Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life"

3 Easter Eggs: from the main menu highlight 'Nucking futs' for outtakes; In the 'set up' menu highlight the doll for more out-takes; there's also a way to get even more outtakes but find that yourself
