RE: Joe Dirt Review
Jaime,
Seeing as you ran out of space a few weeks back and couldn’t print my review of Say It Isn’t So, please feel free to change its title to some cheap play on the word "dirt." Further, you can simply substitute David Spade’s name for Chris Klein’s and take out any reference to Heather Graham. Then mention that the only thing decent about Joe Dirt is Dennis Miller and his trademark dialogue. Given the cookie-cutter nature of these lowest-common-denominator, potty-humor epics, you might be able to again use the same review when they decide to release the next movie starring a SNL alumnus (see The Animal with Rob Schneider).
Don’t feel bad about using the same review, they sure don’t feel bad about using the same cheap jokes and lousy scripts. If you need me, I’ll be watching Spy Kids again.
