Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser: Extended Edition (2015/Sony Blu-ray)



Picture: B+ Sound: B+ Extras: D Film: C-



I recently revisited the original Joe Dirt upon its recent Blu-ray release (review can be found elsewhere on this site) and found it to be as funny as it was when it was first released. I first heard about this un-needed sequel over the summer on a late night talk show, where David Spade said it would be released first on Crackle, an online video streaming site and eventually to DVD. Not being a huge fan of streaming (mainly because I prefer to wait until high definition), I found that is was not at all worth the wait.


While many original cast members have returned (Christopher Walken, Brittany Daniel) and the always funny Patrick Warburton, this hollow sequel recycles some jokes from the original a lot with an insanely dumb time travel storyline, and one too many fart jokes.


Directed by Fred Wolf (Grown Ups, House Bunny) and starring Spade, this sequel finds Joe Dirt happy with his wife Brandi (Daniel) and is now the father of three twin girls. Insecure about his Fatherly role (he doesn't want his daughters to think he's a loser), he ends up going back in time to the 1960's, where he encounters some future famous musicians, future serial killers, and faces from his past and eventually ends up screwing up the space time continuum. Will he get back to the present and make things right?


The presentation is up to standards with a lush 1080p 1.78 X 1 digital high definition transfer and a crisp DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) lossless 5.1 track that delivers for a comedy and then some. Sony always does a great job with their high def transfers and this is no different. Also included is a digital copy of the film.


No extras aside from the extended version of the film.
