Remember when Adam Beach was in that movie about a guy who looks for his father in the Southwest? Well he's in another movie about a guy who looks for his father (and mother) in the Southwest.

But this time around, Beach isn't the guy looking. Its David Spade of SNL fame. He's the title character in in Joe Dirt, which opens nationwide today.

Is it a good movie? If you believe movie critics, maybe not. Here's a sampling of what they are saying about Joe Dirt:

The film . . . teeters on the fine line between condescending and corrupt -- The New York Times

We professional movie critics count it a banner week when only one movie involves eating, falling into or being covered by excrement -- Roger Ebert

The film's best moments come in supporting performances by Rosanna Arquette as the gator farm operator, Adam Beach as a friendly but daft American Indian -- The Hollywood Reporter

Beach plays a character named Kicking Wing.
