Instead of seeing Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star, you could...pierce yourself with sharp objects.
January 09, 2007
Has nothing of value to offer other than a dizzying number of cameos by former child stars, each of whom is only momentarily amusing as a voyeuristic opportunity to compare the grown-up on screen to the kid ever emblazoned upon our mind's eye.

Ouch! Spade goes sweet and gooey.
January 23, 2004
If the filmmakers had resisted the urge to make it so adorable and meaningful, this could have been a terrific comedy.
September 08, 2003
Just a platform for Spade to tell smutty jokes to kids, fall off bicycles, puncture waterbeds, and, oh yes, learn the real meaning of family.

Not at all funny David Spade movie.
September 27, 2003
Child is father to the man in this often funny, but just as often ham-fisted, untrue Hollywood story.

A wince-inducing comedic atrocity.

This movie is better than Lost and Found and Joe Dirt, but that's like saying a kick in the shins is better than a poke in the eye or a kick to the groin.

Nah.

You sense Spade is scared of what finding too much of himself in Dickie might mean.

I often found myself laughing in spite of no one, not even myself.
