    It'll give fans exactly what they expect while passing unseen by anyone else.
  2. As an expat redneck, I recognize the deep, dumb need of every group for its own culturally customized minstrel show. Larry, a junker ''star'' vehicle run on arse wind and fan love, fills that niche.

    Entirely comfortable as the crude character he has honed in countless stand-up routines and TV appearances, Larry the Cable Guy sustains a level of likeability that enables him to get away with a lot more than he has any right to. But, he remains very much an acquired taste.
  4. Larry offers enough scatological humor to fertilize the wheat fields in the star's home state of Nebraska.

    Folks watching any movie that opens with a shot of a butt crack (with the possible exception of "Lost in Translation") can't claim they weren't warned.
  6. Toilet humor, jokes about paraplegics and serious overacting make this lowbrow comedy an irritating watch.
  7. You have to be a bit of an arrested adolescent to think "Larry" is funny.

    Though some of his one-liners are pretty good, his shtick can't sustain this dutifully scripted comedy. Megyn Price, who's done time on the sitcom Grounded for Life, is a welcome distraction as the waitress with a crush on Larry.

    ''Health Inspector" hopes to do for Larry what ''Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" did for Jim Carrey, who in this context looks like Noel Coward.

    Laughing at this turkey might not necessarily make you a redneck, but it sure does make you easily amused.

    Unpleasant, uncouth and painfully unfunny..

    Virtually unwatchable and laugh-free.
  13. This so-called comedy is so not funny, it makes "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" look like Chaplin.

  1. It's actually impressive to me that this runs a meager 89 minutes and yet I felt as though half my life had drained away in that time. I can't even picture the most simple-minded good ol' boy enjoying this. Full Review »
  2. It actually isnt as bad as people make it out to be. Its classic Larry The Cable Guy and I am sure long time fans would enjoy it (new fans probably wouldnt, I personally didnt care for him nor the rest of the blue collar comedy tour guys). However this comedy isnt that bad and I have seen it numerous times. It has quite a few funny moments, The acting is generic (which is expected really), and its also a little too stupid at times as well. However its still no where near as bad as people make it out to be and honestly it can be an enjoyable comedy if you watch it with an open mind. Full Review »

    I'm sorry I had to see this. What a miserable excuse for a film. Larry the Cable guy is not a comic, he's just exploiting people who are dumb enough to go see his movies. Full Review »
