When a scheduled guest doesn't show, a talk-radio DJ (Dennis Miller) decides
to poke fun at the station's dimwitted janitor Joe (David Spade) in a live
interview. Joe's story unfolds in flashback as he relates his 20-year search
for the parents who abandoned him at the Grand Canyon when he was a kid. In
his wanderings, Joe adopts a meteorite that turns out to be frozen airline
sewage, ignites cow flatulence with bottle rockets, uncovers a mobster in
hiding (Christopher Walken) and battles a rival (Kid Rock) for a pretty
country girl (Brittany Daniel). The movie is tedious, witless, even dull,
and the gross-out jokes aren't all that funny. Aptly titled, this corpse of a
comedy deserves to be buried under six feet of dirt.
Joe had a birth defect that prevented his skull from
sealing, so his mother put a 1970s shag wig on him that eventually fused onto
his head. His long, out-of-date hairstyle elicits countless unfunny remarks
about his sexual orientation. During his travels, an encounter with a
transsexual psycho serial killer, in a parody of "Silence of the Lambs,"
makes him the butt of mocking jokes about anal rape.
