Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star

David Spade’s signature trait has always been a smugness that far outweighs any talent he might have to be smug about. You may think the joke is on him as he wades through the likes of Dickie Roberts – a toothless satire about a washed-up actor (Spade) who tries to regain his fame – but Spade seems to think the joke is on you for actually paying to watch him.
