The dominant theme of the film is George's challenge to do what's right. The one thing broad comedies tend to lack, besides intelligence, is heart. Joe Dirt , the white trash David Spade vehicle, has loads of heart. If only it had a hair more class, the movie might really have been something. Of course, we're talking about a mullet-sporting hero.
Class has no place here.
His adventures lead him to several colorful characters and several off-color situations. Now it literally means someone gets crapped on. We just don't need to see it. It's a valiant effort. Luckily, the character is well-drawn enough to keep you liking Dirt.
