It’s better to burn out than fade away, but is it also better to be mistaken for Kurt Cobain? David Spade finds himself grappling with that odd, existential question this week, as images of a mural of his face accompanied by that Kurt Cobain quote (which originally came from the Neil Young song “Hey Hey, My My [Into the Black]” circulated online.

“Everyone is sending me this” tweeted the actor, late of such classics as “Tommy Boy” and “Black Sheep.” That’s all he said on the matter, leaving us all to wonder whether he’s amused, weirded out, or perhaps some combination of the two; Cobain quoted the line in his suicide note, after all, which Young found quite upsetting. The mural is painted on the side of a building in Linz, Austria, suggesting...

What happens when you stick three different families in one campsite over Fourth of July weekend? Well, Charlie Sheen begs to find out in the new, original Crackle film, Mad Families.

The movie focuses on three families -- one Hispanic, one African American and one Caucasian -- who all end up sharing the same camping ground when all of them refuse to leave. And Et has your first look at the chaos in the woods, when a colony of bats swarms the area, sending everyone -- Leah Remini, Finesse Mitchell, Juan Gabriel Pareja, Charlotte McKinney, Chanel Iman (Dope), Barry Shabaka Henley and Tiffany Haddish -- on the run.

The film, co-written and directed by Fred Wolf and executive produced by Sheen, is the latest in Crackle’s growing slate of original content, including Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser, The Art of More with Dennis Quaid and Kate Bosworth, and the return of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee hosted...

Sony’s streaming service Crackle has dropped the official trailer for the network’s original film Mad Families, starring Charlie Sheen, Leah Remini, Finesse Mitchell and Naya Rivera.

Crackle has announced that it’s working on a new film for its library of digital exclusive movies, with Charlie Sheen set to star in Mad Families. The comedy—which sees the former Two And A Half Men and Anger Management star play to type as a “lovable man-child with a heart of gold”—centers on three families waging war over a coveted Fourth Of July camping spot.

Mad Families is being written by Fred Wolf and David Spade, whose Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser was Crackle’s first major success in the filmmaking field. (Or, at least, its first major success in getting people to tune in to a mulleted train wreck; either way, ratings were reportedly pretty good.) Wolf will also direct and produce the new film, and reportedly worked with Sheen to tailor the character to his strengths as a performer. (Which we’re just going to...

Charlie Sheen will topline and executive produce Mad Families, a new comedy feature film from Sony’s digital platform Crackle. Production started last week in Los Angeles. Sheen is playing Charlie Jones, a loveable man-child with a heart of gold and a unique way of looking at the world. Fred Wolf, who helmed Crackle’s previous original film Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser, is directing from a script reteaming him and Joe Dirt star David Spade. Leah Remini, Finesse Mitchell…...

According to Deadline, Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint is set to star in the Crackle TV series Snatch, which is to be based on the 2000 film of the same name from director Guy Ritchie. Also joining Grint are Dougray Scott and Ed Westick. One of the directors of the Musketeers BBC series, Nick Renton, is set to direct.

The outlet continues stating that Grint's character "dynamic, frustratingly chaotic and utterly posh con man, Charlie Cavendish. Scott plays Vic Hill, who continues the con game from inside prison; Westwick plays night club owner Sonny Castillo."

Snatch is described as follows by Deadline:

"Inspired by a real life heist in London, Snatch, centers on a group of twenty-something, up-and-coming hustlers who stumble upon a truck load of stolen gold bullion and are suddenly thrust into the high-stakes world of organized crime. The boys must quickly learn to navigate the treacherous waters of...

Three weeks into the New Year and it looks like we may already have a serious contender for the worst film of 2016. "Norm of the North," the Rob Schneider-led animated feature which came in sixth place with $6.8 million over the weekend, has achieved a rare feat - a perfect 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

With thirty-six reviews counted, the film has not only not had a single positive critical review but has also managed to nab an average rating of 2.7/10 - a score on par with the infamous turkey "Gigli" along with the awful remakes of 1980s horror classics like "Prom Night" and "The Fog". Even those films though managed at least one positive review each.

That score does put it ahead of two of the worst reviewed films of 2015 which both also scored a 0% Tomato-meter score - Adam Sandler's Netflix western "The Ridiculous 6" (average rating: 2.3/10) and the...

The original Joe Dirt became something of a cult classic on DVD, even moreso in our household where it gets watched at least every other month… For some reason that underdog tale of a man beaten down by life but refusing to take it, living everday to its potential really struck a chord. But the same can’t be said for the sequel, which is essentially a parody of It’s a Wonderful Life, making a mockery of the first film and the character, in a movie that feels like it was made more for the cast to have fun and work than for the audience to enjoy.

Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser picks up...

David Spade, whose acting credits include “Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser,” has called President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama undignified for their presence in popular culture. The former “Saturday Night Live” player blasted Obama’s recent appearance on “Running Wild with Bear Grylls” via Twitter, as well as his recent Men of the Year cover of GQ magazine. “I criticized Obama because I thought, ‘A president should have a little more dignity,'” the comedian told TMZ cameras in Los Angeles. “I realize that Woodrow Wilson went on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ once, but what president is doing reality shows?...

Steve Oedekerk's 2002 dubbed comedy Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is one of those comedies I'll always have to regret liking when I was around nine-or-ten years old. It's a sophomoric, slappy-happy rip-off of Woody Allen's What's Up, Tiger Lily written with all the sophistication and charm of two middle-school boys riffing on a copy of an old 1970s martial arts feature. It probably had to do with my love of kung fu -- something I still adore today -- and being of the right age. This is all to say, it's one of those black marks in my film-loving life from which I constantly atone for. It didn't make a dent in the box office, but I suppose it had a modern following on home video who clamored up its irreverence in a pre-YouTube era as I did then. Does that warrant the need to have a sequel...

On July 16, 2015, Crackle released its made-for-digital film Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser, a sequel to the 2001 flick starring David Spade. Now, Crackle has revealed Joe Dirt 2 has garnered over one million total views only five days after its digital debut.

Crackle ran some numbers to determine how much Joe Dirt 2 would have made if it had a theatrical run. According to Deadline, Sony’s streaming video company said the Spade-starring movie would have pulled in a revenue of $8.12 million as of this writing, assuming the average ticket price of $8.12 as set forth by the National Association of Theatre Owners.

Crackle originally announced plans to produce a sequel to Joe Dirt back at the 2013 Digital Content Newfronts. Little else was revealed about the film until October 2014, when Crackle shared more details about the production and announced a 2015 release date. Only a few weeks before the Joe Dirt 2 premiere, Crackle hyped up...

Crackle is helping people worldwide turn themselves into hicks. Sony’s streaming video network has launched the Hick Yourself! app to promote the upcoming release of Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser on July 16, 2015.

The Hick Yourself! app allows users to add mullets, mustaches, and other white trash-inspired accessories (including a chainsaw) to a photo of themselves. The app’s users can upload their completed hick photos to Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. As Variety notes, Crackle appropriately released Hick Yourself! on July 2, which is National Mullet Day.

Crackle’s Joe Dirt film is a made-for-digital sequel to the hit 2001 film starring David Spade as the titular mullet-wearing Southern redneck “hero.” Produced by Adam Sandler’s Happy Madision Productions and directed by the original Joe Dirt lead Fred Wolf, Joe Dirt 2 tells the story of Joe as he travels through central America (and, apparently, his mind) to find his family.

Spade reprises his role as Joe,...

Suicide Squad is going to be a dark movie. So dark that director David Ayer has hired an on-set "therapist" of sorts to help his all-star cast avoid from going too far for their roles. "David Ayer is about realism," Adam Beach, who plays Slipnot in the film, told me at the premiere of Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser (streaming on Crackle July 16.) "So if your character is tormented, he wants you to torment yourself. He wants the real thing." But he doesn't want his stars, which include Jared Leto as The Joker, Will Smith as Deadshot and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, to take their work home. "We kind of have like a therapist on board if you fall off the wagon and really...

Jared Leto has immersed himself in the demented character of The Joker for David Ayer.s Suicide Squad. It.s more than just the face paint and the emo tattoos. It.s a plunge into Method acting that apparently includes sending bizarre gifts to his co-stars. as only Joker would do. Adam Beach, who plays Slipknot in Ayer.s super-villain team-up movie, talked to E! Online at the premiere of Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser, and told incredibly strange stories about Jared Leto.s, er, "presents" for his co-stars. These gifts included bullets for Will Smith, and a love letter for Margot Robbie that came with a black box and a live rat. Beach explained that Leto also made a video for the entire cast that included a dead hog. He said: Basically, what he said was, 'Guys, I can't be there but I want you to know I'm doing...

Jared Leto is quite the gift giver. His Suicide Squad co-stars received letters and presents after the Oscar winner wasn't around much when they first started prepping the movie. "He sent [Margot Robbie] a nice love letter with a black box with a rat in it—a live rat," Adam Beach, who plays Slipnot in the Warner Bros. film, told me last night at the premiere of Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser (streaming on Crackle July 16). "It was beautiful. Then he sent bullets to Will [Smith] with a letter." Talk about method gift-giving. The cast also received a video and—get ready for it!—a "dead hog." "Basically, what he said was, 'Guys, I can't...

Talk about some stunning sisters!  "Sweet Valley High" alums Brittany Daniel and Cynthia Daniel hit the blue carpet for the premiere of "Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser" in Los Angeles on Wednesday.  The twins -- who starred on the beloved series together from 1994-1998 -- looked gorgeous as they posed for pics before heading into the star-studded screening. Brittany, who reprises her role Brandy in the David Spade sequel, stunned in her black halter crop top and a matching high-waisted skirt, while Cynthia looked beautiful wearing a similar baby blue ensemble.  While we've rarely seen the 39-year-old actresses at public events together since starring on the show in the '90s, it does sound like the blonde beauties are working on a reboot for the series, which was adapted from Francine Pascal's books of the same name.  "There is some talk right now," Brittany told reporters at the premiere.

Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield are coming back. At least they hope to. I can exclusively reveal that Brittany and Cynthia Daniel are developing a reboot of Sweet Valley High, their 1990s television series based on Francine Pascal's book franchise of the same name. "There is some talk right now," Brittany told me last night at the premiere of Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser, a sequel to David Spade's 2001 mullet classic, Joe Dirt. "We're actually going to have some conversations with Francine." The twin sisters, now 39, starred as the Wakefield girls on the show, which ran for four seasons between 1994 and 1997. "That series means so much to my sister and I...

With Father's Day approaching, Brittany Daniel can't help but think about her dad, who lost his battle with lung cancer seven years ago.

"It's still very tough for me and my whole family," The Game star tells People.

This Father's Day, Daniel, 39, who battled and overcame cancer herself, is remembering her father in a very special way, in a touching blog post on Medium.com, as an ambassador for the non-profit, Stand Up to Cancer.

"I wanted to honor him," she says. "We were all very close as a family."

She said she wrote the blog because she wanted to thank her dad,...

The first full trailer for the Crackle-exclusive cult classic sequel Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser has arrived in a Hemi-powered vehicle, delivering the 14 year-in-the-making return of David Spade.s wayward redneck. Besides destroying decorum regarding contemporary hair styles, it looks like Joe will be breaking the space-time continuum! The original Joe Dirt from 2001 ended on what would have to be as definitive of a happy ending as there could be. He gets the girl, reunites with his friends, and leaves a bully literally in the dust. However, it seems that .ole Joe, like a Def Leppard-loving Dorothy, finds himself whisked away from his loving family by a tornado to an exotic and mysterious land of sorts. Now, the happy-go-lucky loser whose haircut.s party in the back is matched by business buffoonery in the front will find himself a mulleted Marty McFly, stuck in the year 1965.

My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over. Joe Dirt is back. "Doesn't get much gooder than this," he says. That's debatable, but the fact remains that he's all in all the time – again. But the ultra-mulleted, ultra-uncool character who first hit the big screen 14 years ago is not coming to a theater near you. No, Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser is the first digital sequel to a major studio film, and Sony’s Crackle will start streaming the David Spade spectacle…...

Sure, there's probably hundreds of millions of people waiting to see The Avengers: Age of Ultron, but the real sequel that everyone is waiting for just delivered it's first teaser trailer. After bringing the mullet-wearing janitor and orphan Joe Dirt to the big screen, David Spade is back in Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser. The sequel may not be necessary, but David Spade told EW that the original film is one of the most talked about films from his fans who interact with him on Twitter and Instagram, besides the stuff he did with Chris Farley. And now 14 years later, the film is coming. But this teaser trailer is just awful. Watch! Here's the teaser trailer for Fred Wolf's Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser from You Tube: Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser is directed by Fred Wolf, who co-wrote the script with the film's star David Spade after working...

As threatened last autumn, Sony's online streaming platform Crackle has seized the dubious opportunity of producing the first ever straight-to-digital sequel: a very belated follow-up to David Spade's 2001 cult comedy Joe Dirt. Now Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser "finally" exists, and here's a teaser trailer to prove it. And look: they got Christopher Walken!The original Joe Dirt saw the titular drifter on the road, ostensibly looking for his parents but gradually adopting a new family of similar misfits. It was basically a lot like The Outlaw Josey Wales but without the shooting or the excellence.You won't glean this from the clip, but the sequel apparently involves time travel: Joe is somehow transported back to the recent past and undertakes a quest to get back to his happy family in the present. "Beautiful Losers" is also the title of a Leonard Cohen novel. Be sure not to get the two confused.

The best mullet in Hollywood is back and can be seen in all its glory in the first trailer for “Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser,” which was released by Crackle on Tuesday. David Spade will again play the white trash hero Joe Dirt, a man known for his love of classic rock and fast cars. The film will reunite original stars Spade, Brittany Daniel, Adam Beach and Christopher Walken, and will stream exclusively on Crackle this summer. “I just get stupider,” proclaims Dirt in the trailer, as he battles to get back to his family after being transported to the recent past.

The summer movie lineup keeps getting better as David Spade will return to his iconic role in the forthcoming “Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser.”

Slated to hit the Crackle website on July 16th, the much-anticipated project also includes stars like Christopher Walken, Patrick Warburton, Mark McGrath, Charlotte McKinney and Kevin Farley.

Per the synopsis, “Spade returns as the mullet-wearing, rock and roll loving, down-on-his-luck white trash hero who embarks on another epic journey, this time through the recent past, the heartland of America and his own mind to get back to his loved ones.”...

Whether you loved the original Joe Dirt or detested its idiocy, it doesn’t really matter: a sequel is on the way. Announced back in October of last year, the movie witnesses the return of its titular white trash character who is played again by David Spade. Back one more with a rat-tailed mullet, Spade is revving the engine on another road trip that arrives some 14 years after the original and now, you can catch a glimpse of the ageing Mr. Dirt and his upcoming adventure in the the first trailer for Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser.

As comedy sequels go, it appears to hit all of the necessary marks, paying homage to the first one while throwing in some new elements to ‘spice up’ Dirt’s antics.

“Joe ‘Keeps on keepin’ on,’” the actor told EW. “He’s married now and doing his best, but things don’t all go perfectly for him,...

I never saw Joe Dirt because it didn't look the least bit funny and for the same reason I have no interest in seeing Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser, which just premiered its first trailer today, being sure to highlight a couple members of the cast including Christopher Walken and Patrick Warburton, but the main focus is the title character played once again by David Spade. According to IMDb the story will follow Joe Dirt back in time where he becomes rich because he knows the future, though I can't seem to find any confirmation of that. What we do know is Brittany Daniel, Dennis Miller, Adam Beach and Mark McGrath co-star. Check out the trailer and poster below. EW yt id="_f0RJxNyOgo" width="640"...

We'll have to take his word for it, but according to David Spade, there are a significant amount of people who really like "Joe Dirt" over his other movies. This should be understood as a relative statement, since he's best known for his cinematic works with the late Chris Farley. “I’ve always liked the movie a lot,” the actor told EW about why a sequel is happening. “But I also go by feedback from people I see or [what they write] on Twitter and Instagram. Besides 'Tommy Boy,' this is the most talked-about movie for me. After 10 years of people still asking about a sequel, we finally found a good way to do it…. Joe is a fun character to play. I’m stoked for everyone to see it.” Okay, but are people actually stoked to see "Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser"? At any rate, the first trailer shows Spade...

Crackle just made its Upfronts debut, where the digital network announced its first-ever one-hour scripted series “The Art of More,” starring Dennis Quaid, and animated comedy “SuperMansion” among other projects.

Nobody wanted it, and yet here it is: the first trailer and official poster for Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser. Yes, David Spade is back as the mullet-haired moron, reprising his role from the 2001 Happy Madison movie. As with all Happy Madison films, this looks pretty bad, but not as bad as most. I would get into the plot of the film, but I am just going to go ahead and tell you once again, this is Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser. The plot is irrelevant. Reuniting with Spade will be Brittany...

The red-hot director of the first season of True Detective will direct and serve as executive producer on the serial killer series for Paramount Television and Anonymous Content.
