Dickie Roberts: El Ex Actor

When this movie first came out on tape(&DVD), i rented it the first time for a movie night with a couple of friends, we watched it once...twice...three times (we pulled a all nigher). Next Week-End once...twice...three times, each time finding something new. Take A Break... Next Week-End= once... twice. yup, only got two times that week-end. Then one day when i was supervising a GR.1 Class over the lunch hour At a elementary school one of the kids put his hand up, asked if he could say something. Thinking it would be harmless, i said sure. So, he stands up... and does the WHOLE "Brick Wall, Water Fall, Dick..." So on and so-forth. Then, everyone started doing it. i would recommend it to Anyone.

I watched this movie last night and it was awful. Basically the only funny parts in it were the ones in the commercials. If you are a huge David Spade fan you will probably like this movie. If you are not a David Spade fan you should not waste your time on this movie

A silly comedy starring David Spade as a former child star who "hires" a family in order to give himself a real childhood experience so he can nab a new part in a Rob Reiner movie. The premise is as silly as you can get but it does have some fun injokes involving quite a number of former child actors from the 70s and 80s which is great fun for tv nostalgia buffs.. Pleasant enough comedy. GRADE: C

Writing this to balance out the negative reviews. I'm not sure if some people were expecting Citizen Kane or something, but this is not supposed to be a cinematic masterpiece. This is a goofy silly movie, and a great one!

I am a big fan of David Spade but he has really fallen off as a comedy genius since his friend and frequent collaborator/comedy partner Chris Farley died sadly several years ago. I thought Joe Dirt was kind of funny in spots but over all pretty disappointing and this movie is even more disappointing. There are a couple of funny jokes in the movie and it is a very good premise for a movie but over all the plot is just too stupid and the jokes are predictable. The fact that David Spade plays a guy who is just unlikeable and a jerk gets old very fast and you can figure out exactly how the movie is going to go like ten minutes into watching it.
