Checked this out for the first time last night to see if it is as bad as the critics said it is. What I got was a 90-minute festival of intertwined moments of laughing my ass off to moments that had me screaming "What is this movie?"
As for Spade's role of Joe, he is treated in such a cruel matter throughout a majority of this movie, from growing up finding his parents to his talk at the radio station. His performance was rather plain for the most part, but was portrayed in a way that shows no matter what was being thrown at him, he would not give up on his goal. And I respect that.
Regarding the humor in this movie, it was a mixture between funny and twisted. The part with the dog with his balls frozen solid to the porch was just sad. And there was other awkward grossed-out humor in the film, such as a brief clip with what looked like dogs "having a good time." But as with basically any comedy film, it had its fair share of funny moments.
Overall, this film was so-so.
