Variety John Anderson

If three of "The Magnificent Seven" had been Gomer Pyle, the result might have looked like Delta Farce, a movie rife with fat, fart and Fallujah jokes, but with a subcutaneous wit that has a lot to do with Iraq war fatigue.

LA Weekly Luke Y. Thompson

You could make a case that any movie in which Mexicans and rednecks become best of friends is a net positive for society. But to do that, you'd have to ignore the severe boredom that sets in about halfway through this comedy.

New York Daily News Jack Mathews

Dreadfully unfunny.

The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck

The hilariously dirty insult comic Lisa Lampanelli shows up all too briefly as Engvall's shrewish wife.

The New York Times Andy Webster

Perhaps the people most insulted are white Southerners, who presumably are expected to embrace one whopping brain-dead metaphor.

TV Guide Ken Fox

Overall the movie is too stupid to offend any but the most sensitive viewer.

Boston Globe Ty Burr

Consider this the sequel to "Ernest in the Army " that the late Jim Varney never got around to making. It's not very good but at least it's not evil.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Michael Harris

Delta Farce is so relentlessly racist (and homophobic), without ever having the intelligence to pass that bigotry off as satire, that viewers will be left thinking "Borat" has a soft touch.

New York Post Kyle Smith

Larry the Cable Guy channels both Moe and Curly in the Three Stooges-go-to-war comedy Delta Farce.

San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub

A mindless comedy where the blatant racial stereotypes are outnumbered only by the flatulence jokes. The best thing that can be said about this movie is it falls just short of being an international incident.

Premiere Peter Debruge

One of those celebrations of idiocy that never seem to go out of vogue.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Steven Hyden

The worst thing about Delta Farce is its overall feeling of contempt--for the filmmaking process, for common decency, and, most despicably, for the audience.

Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown

Here's a sobering thought: If every war gets the comedy it deserves, could Delta Farce, a strenuously unfunny "Three Amigos" knockoff, be our M*A*S*H?

Austin Chronicle Marrit Ingman

But is it funny? Not really.

Film Threat Michael Ferraro

If Director C.B. Harding's intention was to make one of the worst films in recent memory, congratulations are in order.

Lee W gave it a1:
So bad it's watchable for all the wrong reasons.

Greg greg gave it a5:
A few laughs and i did enjoy it but to call this a great movie or even a great comedy requires serious mental problems on the viewers part. not that bad though.

Jared B gave it a10:
A while back, in My review of "The Pink Panther," I talked about my disgust with people who can't seem to go into movies and just be entertained without having to think too deeply. Judging from the reviews that "Delta Farce got, I'd say that this was the case here. So, people, it's time to get those bugs out of your butts and learn to enjoy a movie, in spite of the fact that it may be nothing but a silly comedy that relies heavily on crude humor. Not every movie can be adapted from a Shakespeare play. As for me, I found this movie to be absolutely hilarious. If you can except that some movies are meant to just be fun and never take itself seriously, I highly recommend "Delta Farce."

Steve M. gave it a0:
The fact that "get 'er done" captivated middle America is enough to not watch this movie.

Clint H. gave it a7:
While it's not as bad as you hear it is, The raunchier gags in Delta Farce leave something to be desired.

Shana K. gave it a3:
I love Larry the Cable Guy, but this movie was weak and it only had the intermittent comedy moments that you would expect from Larry and Bill.

William B. gave it a5:
It made me laugh a few times, and was harmless, and I didn't expect more than that.
