It'll give fans exactly what they expect while passing unseen by anyone else.

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.

This movie gets a bad rap due to the soft and politically correct automatons that exist nowadays. It’s a stupid raunchy comedy, not something to make you oooh and ahh like an action movie or pull at your heartstrings. It has farts and all you’d expect in a stupid comedy movie. Lighten up and have a laugh.

I'm a fan of Larry the Cable Guy's stand-up comedy, so naturally I thought I would enjoy this movie. As you can tell by my score I was very wrong. The majority of this film's humor is focused on making fun of the mentally handicapped, crippled, and ****. Let's not forget about all of the awful poop and fart jokes in the movie. It's a disgusting, unfunny movie and one that is not worth your time, no matter how much of a Larry the Cable Guy fan you are.

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.

You have to be a bit of an arrested adolescent to think "Larry" is funny.

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

this movie was the worst piece of **** I've ever seen in my life. I wasted 89 minutes of my life to watch this crap-fest. Don't waste your money on this. I will never trust Tucker Copper (or whatever his name is) as a director again, because this is crap.

I wasn't expecting Shakespeare, but even a whiff of genuine humor would have been nice. To say that this film is in bad taste is wallowing in understatement. Most bothersome is the fact that, in 21st-century America, there could actually be an audience for this movie.

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.
