action
The film begins on a radio station in Los Angeles where Joe Dreck works as a janitor and lives in the boiler room. When a producer sees Joe while he is being harassed in the hallway, he finds Joe's white trash demeanor so unbelievable that he has to tell his life story live to DJ Zander Kelly. The majority of the film consists of the retelling of Joe's life story, in which Zander and the audience look for jokes at Joe's expense.
Joe is left alone in the Grand Canyon at the age of eight. After staying with various foster parents, Joe gets stuck in Silvertown, Idaho . He meets Brandy there when he is fleeing from the thug Robby. Joe develops feelings for brandy but thinks it is too good for him. After Brandy's dog is shot by her father, Joe feels the need to look for his parents. His search allows Joe to experience various adventures, meet bizarre people and work in bizarre odd jobs that lead him to his job on the radio station. Joe also recounts how he searched to a certain point but then decided to give up and return to Silvertown to be with Brandy. However, he is intercepted by Robby, who tells him that Brandy found Joe's parents. However, Robby has instructions from her not to tell Joe anything about what he proves with a note from her.
After hearing this, Zander insists on talking to Brandy himself to find out why she did this. She admits that she wrote the note, but only because she has not yet had the opportunity to talk to Joe about his parents. She tells him that his parents died that day in the Grand Canyon and at the same time asks him to come back to Silvertown.
When he told the story, Joe did not notice that he had won the hearts of the audience and that he had become a media sensation. The media involvement has a woman calling who claims to be his mother. He wants to meet her, but is disappointed when he notices that his parents are exploiting Joe's popularity for their own purposes. When he asks how they left him behind, his father replies, “How does a Plymouth differential lock work? It just happens. " Sadly, Joe goes to a bridge to kill himself. Brandy then appears and tells him that she only told him that his parents were dead to protect him. A policeman throws a rubber rope around Joe's feet, causing him to fall and bang his head against the bridge. Joe wakes up from the resulting unconsciousness in Brandy's house, where she is standing around his bed with friends from his trip and he realizes that they are like family to him. With his new family and a tripped car, he drives into the sunset.
Reviews
- "Nice, humorous white trash comedy that has gags ranging from lovable to crude, but cannot fully exploit the potential of the story." (Filmstarts.de)
- "The film really deserves its name, because Joe Dreck is pure dirt!" (MovieMaze.de)
- "That the paint is off shows Spade's flat performance and the nasty accumulation of pee, poop and pups jokes. TV director Dennie Gordon only laboriously wrapped the fecal humor with a story told in flashbacks" (cinema.de)
