For rednecks & people under 15 y/o, 13 May 2007

Author: misakimatsuya from Atlanta, GA

I've seen a lot of really bad movies in theaters. Sat through them and suffered. This was only the second movie in my life time that I've actually walked out on. I wish I had left sooner than what I did (I sat through nearly an hour and a half of this crap), I could have gotten a lot more done that day. Seriously, it was nothing but vague references to overdone jokes by both Larry the Cable Guy & Bill Engvall - two comedians who haven't changed their routines in nearly a decade, who by some fluke of nature, still have careers. At one point the movie actually paused to zoom in on Larry, covered with ammo, so he could say "Git-r-done" and rile up all the rednecks in the audience.

Every aspect of this movie was terrible. The acting, the fight scenes, the comedy, even the explosions were terribly boring and pathetic.

What it boils down to is this: Bill Engval & Lary TCG are nothing without Jeff Foxworthy and Ron White. No, the movie wouldn't have been much better with those two on the bandwagon, but it might have at least had some laughable humor in it.

Quite possible the worst movie in all of history, 20 May 2007

Author: dbgillespie-1 from United States

I really wish I could give this movie a negative rating it was just so terribly bad. My date and I were the last people to walk out of the movie; the whole theater was empty about an hour and a half into the movie. The jokes were just not funny. I had a couple of times where I forced a chuckle, if only because I went to the movie really wanting to laugh. The acting, scripts, plot, everything, was pathetic. Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie at all cost. If you really feel the need to dispose of your money so wastefully, you could wire it to me and the money you spent will provide you with the same amount of entertainment. If, after reading this and the other reviews of this travesty of a movie, you still feel you must watch it, wait for it to show up on cable... as bad as this movie is, you probably will not have to wait more than a month before it hits TV.

Don't Overthink this!, 2 October 2007

Author: nabor7 from Texas

After reading the various comments for this, it seems that most viewers have allowed others to do their thinking for them. This movie is not "To Kill a Mockingbird" or "The Sound of Music", it is a movie made by redneck comedians dedicated to our real fighting men and women. Anyone who has ever been in combat knows that humor is where you find it, and this movie has a lot of it, if you keep your mind open. This database is an amazing tool. If you look at other movies commented on by users who didn't like this movie, the majority haven't liked other inane titles with the same bent of humor. I don't pay theater prices to see a movie. They are a ripoff especially when most movie goers are rude, inconsiderate slobs. I guess my point is that if a person doesn't like this type of movie why pay the money to hate something you have predetermined to hate? The trailer was enough to know how the movie would be.

If you like to be entertained and don't want or have to think, this is an excellent movie

Average Comedy, 10 September 2007

Author: dustinhunter707 from United States

I am going to be honest, I thought this movie would be a little funnier than it was but it wasn't a complete disappointment. The first 35 minutes of the movie was just plain retarded and unfunny, then after that it gets a little better. However seeing that the 3 leading comedians were Larry The Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and D.J. Qualls, I still found the funniest guy in this movie to be Keith David. His role as Sgt. Kilgore made me laugh several times more than I laughed at the others, oh and Danny Trejo was pretty good as being the villain and being funny at the same time. But anyways I give this movie a 5 out of 10 because it starts off slow and unfunny, but then it kind of picks up and you might have a few laughs before the end credits start to roll.

Larry and Bill should stick to stand-up comedy, 13 May 2007

Author: stoogedude (stoogedude@hotmail.com) from Illinois

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I like Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall. I like their stand up comedy routines. I just do not like their movie Delta Farce.

I put a spoiler warning on here, even though it doesn't really need it, as I doubt anyone will see this, and the plot is so predictable that there wouldn't even be a spoiler, yet there may be one or two people who might want the end kept secret until they see it. But please, wait until it comes to DVD and rent it. Wait until the time it goes from New Release to regular rental where it's much cheaper, or unless you can find the poor bastard who would shell out 20 bucks for this film and borrow it from him or her.

If you want to see this film soon, go to a matinée where it's much cheaper, as I did. Trust me, you'll be glad you didn't shell out 7 bucks for this clunker.

As I said, Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall are funny guys, or at least I think so. I mean, Larry was great in Cars. I don't blame the film on them. I blame the movie on the horrible writing and crappy directing. The writers of the film haven't even written a TV show, yet somehow are qualified to write a nationwide theatrical release (you know that when one of the writers has a first name of Bear, you are not in for a good time). Not that I took this film seriously at the get go, but the fact that they landed in Mexico on the way to IRAQ told me that this whole film was a joke. Keith David and Danny Trejo seemed like Nickelodeon cartoon characters compared to their characters in other movies. They are both pretty intimidating guys in other movies, but not this one.

Since I've got a spoiler warning, I'll give you an idea of the dumb sequences included in this film. Larry, surrounded by perhaps 20 armed Mexicans with their guns pointed directly at him, is asked by Danny Trejo's character if he really thinks he can kill everyone in the room with all of those guns pointed at him. Larry replies, "No, but I can kill just one...you", to where Trejo replies, "Damn, I didn't think of that". That kind of stuff. Trejo reminds me of George Lopez as that plug-in like villain in Sharkboy and Lavagirl (I was forced to watch that film, just as bad as Delta Farce).

I had a couple laughs here and there, but I sat through the film mostly with my head resting in my hands, envying the woman next to me who was sleeping, because some 11 year old kid wouldn't stop braying like a retarded horse throughout the film.

And of course, Larry lands the beautiful girl and makes out with her all the time at the end of the film. It makes Kevin James and Leah Remini from the King of Queens look like Romeo and Juliet.

This film was worse than Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector. That's like saying that the Godfather is better than Citizen Kane. Haha, this might be the only time that Godfather and Citizen Kane will be mentioned with Health Inspector and Delta Farce ever.

Larry (sorry, I mean Dan), if you're not going to release a good comedy, then just stick to stand up.

I'm giving this film three for the possible three laughs I had watching this movie.

On the level of "Dumb and Dumber", 1 October 2007

Author: wsbowles from United States

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Every now and then I need to watch a dumb movie. The last time I laughed like this was "Dumb and Dumber." This movie doesn't reach that level of dumb, but it's close. The makers of this movie were obviously aiming low and I think they hit their mark. If you are expecting something more than base, lowdown, politically incorrect, bathroom humor, then do not see this movie.

Don't listen to these pseudo-intellectuals who think humor has to be smart. Personally, I think it's healthy to laugh at stupid, and this is pretty stupid. In fact it's so stupid that of the three main characters, Larry the Cable Guy's character is the smart one.

The movie starts off predictable, using jokes and setups from Bill Engvall's and Larry the Cable Guy's comedy acts. But, the movie proceeds into new territory once it gets moving.

I mean c'mon! The three lame "reservists" bury their sergeant, who turns out is not dead, and the person giving the eulogy throws in a final prayer asking God to help him win the Powerball lottery. "I don't care who you are, that's funny."

It is perfect for what it is, and if you watch it with that attitude you'll laugh.

despite the ill comments this is a funny movie, 5 August 2007

Author: ssto from New York, USA

i'm not sure i understand some really hateful comments on this movie. i found it funny, in a lightly-spirited way, entertaining enough to keep me watching it to the end. nice characters, funny story and, well, laughable stereotypes

i didn't see anything even mildly insulting, or politically incorrect. maybe if you're Mexican it could offend you if you woke up this morning at the wrong side of bed (and not wanting to see that its the Americans this movie is laughing at, not the mexicans, dough!), but hey - do you also hate Desperado for the same stereotypes?

take it easy, have fun, if not - go spitting poison somewhere else please

7/10

peace

Good Movie, 16 October 2007

Author: bob68k from United States

Listen, this movie does have some comedy in it. It is what it is, and knowing the main characters and subject you are getting what you expect to get. This movie starts out a little slow but eventually builds up into a film that can hold it's own. This movie was fluid enough to keep me entertained and laughing here and there so it's not half bad. The fight scenes are good for the men. There is a romantic side of the movie too for the women,and a cultural touch as well. It is also very patriotic in the sense that it's a military movie and I'm sure many GI's will enjoy this movie too. Give it a chance if you have 90 minutes of free time, you may be surprised.

Lack of intellectualism and culture does not mean it isn't funny., 19 September 2007

Author: michael-1997 from London England

OK so its a bit lame but a lot of it is very very funny. This could be because since I can remember the U.S. movie industry has continually used the southern accent to show that a character is as dumb as a bag of spanners or so backwards they belong in a different century. Take Smokey and the Bandit or Deliverance. However if you are not from the U.S. this accent is incredibly funny by association. Tie it altogether with the modern equivalent of the three stooges some stereo type( we don't need no stinking badgees) Mexicans and a guy in a dress and the British will love it for sure. Granted it is lame, but it is funny and that is what it sets out to do.

Not as bad as the rating makes out, 28 August 2007

Author: BugZ Rabbit from Ireland

Being Irish-born living in England, I've never heard of Larry the Cable Guy, so his humour wasn't tired or 'more of the same' and also it is very unusual to see America doing satire. I guess this is a film that Americans just don't get, because the Iraq issue is such a serious one to them (along with the Mexican issues i guess) As you can see, i have rated this 6 out of 10.

No belly laughs, but i did find myself smiling at the jokes, and whats more, I didn't need to turn it off, or fall asleep, so its better than some Hollywood blockbusters I have seen recently (Rise of the Silver Surfer as one example)
