Wow this was awful
Another movie that waited way too long for a sequel and tried to bank on nostalgia. Anchorman 2, Zoolander 2, Joe Dirt 2, those movies called for sequels years ago but after so much time that shipped sailed and the need for the sequels was gone. But those actors finally start to hit a little decline in roles and relevancy so they try to fall back on their bankable roles.
All 3 movies have something in common other than being awful, if you can make it past the first 20 mins then you deserve an award. This one was even worse than the other 2 I mentioned because it was made for Crackle with a lower budget but poor production aside, which really is evident in the birth scene, the movie just had an awful plot and none of the laughs the first one had. You can't really blame that on production. First one had a simple story with some funny events with Dennis Miller's dry sense of reality humor to go along with Spade's narration.
I honestly can't see how anyone thought this movie was good, no matter how low your humor bar is set. And there's no way Spade saw the final cut and felt that this was one of his better movies. Sandler hasn't been funny in a long time and has pretty much mailed it in and will put out whatever crap comes across his desk as long as it involves him and his friends going to a nice vacation spot. But you would have hoped they would have given Joe Dirt the proper sequel fans were hoping for.
