Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006) User Reviews

1.4 Rating for this movie is being very generous

[justj-3 · 2/10 · 27 March 2006]

I saw this movie with my wife, 12 year old daughter & 13 year old son, it was on a Monday and there were 8 people total in the theater! (Should have been my first clue). The toilet humor was over done, while at times it fit the storyline, pissing in the shower was a little overboard and unnecessary. I loved Larry and gang on the Blue Comedy Tours, but this was raw sewage.

All the funny lines were in the T.V. commercial!

I did notice a major blooper. During one fresh scene (next day) and the few that followed it, the shirt of Tom Wilson had a large, wet stain on the pocket of his shirt - how did it get there and did we miss a cutting room floor funny?

An Ernest P. Worrell for the 21st Century ?

[rimnod · 4/10 · 23 March 2006]

I played on a Baptist College baseball team over twenty years ago with Dan "Larry the Cable Guy" Whitney. Even back then he was only a part- time pitcher but a full time clown. I wish he had shifted his focus and concentrated more on his curve ball. If he had then perhaps we would have been spared his first feature length film---"Larry the Cable Guy Health Inspector".

As a "starter" project this movie echoes the transitions made by other comedians-- most notably Jim Carrey (Ace Ventura -Pet Detective) and less notably Rob Schneider (Deuce Bigelow-Male Gigolo). However Dan's talent is probably better compared to the late Jim Varney and his alter ego-- "Ernest P. Worrell". Still, I can much more appreciate Varney's eccentric talents than Dan's stubborn assault on our sensibilities by offering repeated renditions of a stock version of a crude redneck character(or has he broadened this into being somehow representative of "blue collar crude" in an effort to pull some of the population living north of the Ohio River into this movie's prospective demographic?)

In "Health Inspector" Dan manages to exhaust most of the material found in his stand up routine. He also comes up with some new bits- most of which are only incidental variations on his old bits. It's true that he does break some new ground also. We get to see Larry in love through an indirect appeal to pathos. But the sum total of this film, in the end, is that it serves as little more than a woeful compilation of "Larry's the Cable Guy's" rather sloppy rise into the national consciousness.

The touchstone for deciding whether or not you should give "Health Inspector" a chance can be found in Dan's signature stage utterance---"Git r Done". If the humor buried in that expression appeals to you ---then by all means check out the movie. But if the phrase leaves you lost, cold and empty---you had best give the film a pass. For my part, I have never been able to translate "Git r Done" into anything that quite registers as "funny" on my tired brain. But I still went and saw the show anyway. After all, like I said --I used to play ball with this guy in school.

Deceiving Trailer

[rogerdob · 2/10 · 28 March 2006]

Boy, was this film awful. I knew nothing about Larry, the Cable Guy until I clicked onto a preview on the web. The preview was hilarious! It was my type of low-brow humor and I thought this is going to be a funny film. However, after I go to the theater and the picture started to play, I felt I was really duped by the trailer. Whereas the trailer was tightly edited to give great timing to the jokes, the film was edited with no regards to proper timing of set-up and punch lines. There were even added scenes in the trailer that didn't exist in the film. This was one of those films that I had to leave early from. I could not take anymore after 40 minutes.

I had such high hopes for this movie...

[justforfun873 · 1/10 · 4 June 2006]

As a fan of Larry the Cable Guy and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, my husband and I really wanted to see this movie. As a matter of fact, when we heard the release date, we ensured to plan an evening around going to the theater to see this movie. I've enjoyed watching Larry the Cable Guy over the years and I knew that this movie would not be Oscar worthy, or one of the best comedies I have ever seen, but I thought it would at least be entertaining - but to our surprise, it wasn't. We were turned off within the first 10 minutes of the movie and forced ourselves to sit through the remaining 80 minutes. Usually, just hearing Larry talk is enough to make some laugh, but by the end of the movie, we even tired of that. Unfortunately, I think we will be a little gun shy in seeing any future Larry the Cable Guy movies, unless of course, , he is teamed up with the rest of the Blue Collar cast and he is doing his stand-up act. This movie isn't even worthy of watching on DVD, unless you want to hear fart gags for an hour and a half.

My honest opinion

[Haifis · 1/10 · 5 June 2006]

I walked into the theater hoping I would get some good laughs. I went with my friend who worships Larry's humor. I left the theater disappointed. This movie is filled with the same joke over and over again. Basically overdone toilet humor. I have nothing against the humor, it's just the same jokes repeated over and over again. Nothing new or inventive here. Larry's humor was not creative. Just diarrhea jokes over and over throughout the whole entire movie! And that was the whole running gimmick! It became rather boring. This is a simple film which had the potential to be funny but destroyed it with horrible acting and boring humor.

nothing to see here.

[jack-817 · 1/10 · 28 March 2006]

Tune into CMT or Comedy Central. Get the same jokes for free.

I'm a big fan of redneck humor. Jerry Clower is GOD.

But Jerry's real,born and bred.

This cable guy from West Palm Beach by way of Nebraska insults his fans.

I despise Jeff Gordon, whenever he pretends to be a good old boy.

Now picture Jeff Gordon in a flannel shirt, with cut off sleeves. Add about fifty pounds or so.

And get your authentic southern accent by watching the Simpsons cartoon character Cletus.

That's Larry. So long. I hope you enjoy playing Branson.

Total Waste

[mrblueshoes81 · 1/10 · 2 April 2006]

Of all the Blue Collar Comedy actors, Larry The Cable Guy was never one of my favorites, but hey...I figured i'd give this movie a chance since I need a good laugh every now and then. Lets just say that this movie did not enhance my view of him. I wasn't expecting this to be an intellectual film or anything like that. While it did have a few funny parts, I spent most of the time in the theater teetering between pure boredom and annoyance. Unless you enjoy root canals, spinal taps, or anal probes I would avoid this one at all costs. If you need a good laugh I would implore you to rent something like Bringing Down The House or 40 Year Old Virgin. At least it doesn't cost as much and you will actually enjoy what you pay for.

Words fail me

[duffyboy666 · 1/10 · 1 April 2006]

Normally when a new bad movie comes out, it usually sky rockets up the bottom 100 list. This is mainly just a trendy thing. You Got Served, Bloodrayne and From Justin to Kelly were among these unlucky ones. Oh sure they were bad movies alright, terrible movies to be blunter. But when you looked at the movies like Red Zone Cuba, Gigli and of course Manos, you couldn't really rate them as that bad.

NOT THIS TIME

Think of the most horrible, hateful put down you could ever attach to anyone and anything and it still wouldn't do Larry The Cable Guy justice. That's right folks. 40 years on and finally, Manos is now the world number two on the chart. This movie is the biggest piece of s**t to ever stink up the theatre. It is so jaw droppingly, blood-boilingly bad that you wouldn't even serve it to your most hated emnemy.

Not only is Larry The Cable Guy the single worst most horrible movie of all time, but it is the spawn of the single worst most horrible idea of all time. The plot involves a series of food poisonings at the city's best restaurants, with the All City Top Chef contest just days away. It's up to Larry and Butlin to figure out who's sabotaging the competition, even if it means taking on the breast-obsessed mayor.

Got that folks? It's another toilet humor film which sucks! And it's another film directed by a first timer (Trent Cooper)! See Deuce Bigalow for reference! In the first five minutes of the redneck comedian's film debut, we see Larry urinating on himself in the shower, flashing his butt crack, having a flatulence attack in front of his boss, and referencing the smell of "strawberry douche." At this point I turn unto God and ask "Why?" Why does Hollywood keep doing this with impunity!

Trent Cooper is only there to keep the movie in focus (he even fails that at times) and to make certain there are enough fart jokes to keep the overlong running time rumbling. Seriously, you could make DVD chapters out of the number of times Larry -- or anybody, really -- makes with the southern thunder. That is how awful this movie is. It can't even save itself with fart jokes.

Larry The Cable Guy is truly the worst movie of all time. It should be driven to a quiet spot, forced to kneel down and be shot through the head. That'll learn it!

NEVER WATCH THIS MOVIE.

What did you all expect from Larry the Cable Guy???

[extremecraigfan · 23 November 2014]

I didn't give the movie a score because I never had the chance to finish watching it. I just ran out of time this weekend.

What I don't understand are the ratings and comments made with regards to this movie.

What did you all expect from Larry the Cable Guy? The humour seemed right on par with all his other stuff...maybe a little bit more raunchy but it definitely was Larry.

I am not saying it is a great movie, I am not saying it was a nasty movie....I am only saying it is Larry and I went into watching it knowing I would see the typical Larry stuff, and I saw typical Larry stuff!

What do you expect?

[bergette5 · 7/10 · 30 March 2006]

Okay, I understand this movie is not going to win any Acadamy awards, but hey, if you are going to see it, you should understand that it is a movie starring Larry the Cable Guy. Do you expect quality material? No, you expect a simple-minded good time with a bunch of laughs. And that is exactly what this movie provided. I also give it extra points because at no point in the movie did Larry rely on his catch phrase "Git r Done!". He went the whole movie without saying it and only said it in the end. Now, yes, there is a lot of toilet humor and bad taste laughs, but if you watch his stand up, you should know that already. All in all, go see this movie if you want a simple good time and a lot of cheap laughs.

Do Not See This Film

[anonymouslybeelzebub · 1/10 · 29 March 2006]

I feel that I should preface this entire review by saying "Do Not See This Film". Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector is a terrible movie. The only positive element was seeing a really hot extra during the mall scene. Aside from that, this movie completely lacked enjoy-ability.

From the start I had my reservations, but being an open minded movie fan I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. My doubt was first confirmed when the theater lights when out and other then myself and my guests there were only two other viewers. It only went downhill from there. Larry's jokes were not funny, the characters lacked any real development, and to say it was predictable would be an understatement.

The movie ends with Larry's token "Git-R-Done" catch phrase and a song that makes me weep for the future of the music industry. Despite all of this, the other two movie patrons were laughing hysterically throughout the film (they were also chewing tobacco and spitting it into a popcorn container).

Classic Larry

[LiAnnV71 · 8/10 · 11 August 2006]

This movie is classic Larry the Cable Guy! So for those who watched it and were offended or appalled, tough! Larry makes fun of and says everything most of us wish we could say! This movie is funny and crude and plain hilarious. IF you thought anything other than that, I have no clue what you all thought you were going to see? So if you need something to make you laugh, or snicker or just forget your problems for a few hours, watch this movie, it just might add a little spark to your personality and make you a little more human! Life's too short to be serious all the time, laugh! With all the rising taxes and gas prices... who couldn't use a good laugh?

It's what you would expect.

[kf4mgz · 6/10 · 21 April 2006]

I've seen Larry's stand up routine in person, and it was about the same as his Blue Collar Comedy tour show on the Comedy Channel. I've always thought he was funny.

As for the quality of this film, Hey! It's Larry the Cable Guy! What do you expect! I went to see it because I pretty much knew what I was going to see, and it beat my expectations. I don't think anyone needs to worry about Larry getting any awards for his acting ability, but I thought the movie was what it was intended to be: A mindless laugh fest.

For those of you that paid to see the movie and are upset about it, all I can say is what did you expect? Dan Whitney as the greatest film genius of all time? Give me a break. If you don't know who LTCG was, you would never have gone to see this film in the first place. This film delivers what it promises, Larry being an idiot, and the toilet humor is just part of the act. Those of you who act shocked and outraged, guess what? The laugh is on you!

The worst and most harmful movie ever made

[fabfunk3 · 1/10 · 3 April 2006]

Lately I've been talking a lot of garbage to people about "Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector". I hadn't seen it, but with only the cursory knowledge and awareness of the title character's/personality's brand of humor, I felt I could write it off as just being forgettably terrible. But with some free time this weekend, I figured that it would be wrong to dismiss anything without actually experiencing it. Well, I was wrong, and I'm sorry, Mr.... err.... Mr. Guy. It was wrong to just write off "Health Inspector". This movie is not forgettable.

Congratulations, "Boondock Saints". Here I was, thinking you were the most puerile, vapid, idiotic, offensive movie in existence. But no: the worst film I have ever seen has no competition, and it is "Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector", number one with a bullet. Never before have I had any experience this soul-deadening, this harmful, trafficking in all forms of disgust and hate. "Health Inspector" is a hate crime, possibly the most vile ever perpetrated on the American public. If Donald Rumsfeld scaled back the torture budget in these international containment camps and just made suspected terrorists view "Larry The Cable Guy", it wouldn't be halfway into the film before we finally had the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden. Here Lionsgate is, presumptuous enough to charge money for this experience when I wouldn't wish it upon a hundred Hitlers.

The plot, as is, never ever mentions Larry as being a cable guy, although he seems to be playing his familiar on-stage persona, complete with catchphrase "Git-R-Done," which he says to the camera in the film's last moment, a final "Screw you, you saw this movie " Here, he plays a health inspector who always succeeds despite his slovenly ways, getting wrapped up in a food-poisoning mystery instigated by the town's evil mayor. Oops, spoiler warning.

Along the way, he is unclean and unkempt, and speaks like the ignorant redneck that he projects himself to be in his act, expending the film's entire budget on fart sound effects. $7 million worth of people last weekend (and a few more this weekend) spent their hard earned money on watching Larry the Cable Guy fart through a less-than-90 minute film. Along the way he romances cute character actress Megyn Price- after playing wife to Donal Logue for three years on "Grounded For Life", I imagine the price of crack's been risen, as she plays a character that somehow falls for this fat, ugly, retarded hick. Dame Judi Dench couldn't be convincing in this role. The only other major woman role in this film, aside from a wine baroness who has a penchant for disgusting internet sex with Joe Pantaliano, is Larry's partner, an androgynous, homely woman whom, through a running gag, is referred to by Larry as a boy. She is put upon and mocked by Larry the entire film, to the point where an appropriate character arc for her would be to end the film putting eight bullets into his skull. Alas, she grows to love him, and her character rises above her ridicule and earns her keep when Larry finally owns up and calls her a girl. This movie hates women a lot less than it hates Asians, Muslims and other various assorted races.

Maybe this whole thing is a calculated act of aggression-based confrontation comedy. Maybe this is meant to test your boundaries, and redefine what you think is offensive. Consider a moment when, to distract someone, Larry dresses up by placing a dinner cloth over his head, draped over his shoulders, with shades and a hat, emerging into the frame slumped over and his hands together, praying, as he affects a Middle Eastern accent, going, "Lulululululululu " You might initially think it was the most horrendous, tasteless exploitation of a Middle East lifestyle in history, but the scene happens in a mixed-race kitchen, and therefore his being from the Middle East has no context. What if he was just performing a baseless silly character without roots in any culture, and my own Eurocentrism claimed his character possessed traits of a Middle Easterner? What if Larry, in effect, is saying I'm the racist for assuming that? Well, considering one of the laugh lines in this film is Larry referring to an Indian restaurant as having "immigrant food", then Larry the Cable Guy is worse than AIDS.

And like AIDS, the movie should be treated with caution. Please, this is important, I beg of you- if you have a friend, family member, loved one who might be considering watching "Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector", please do everything in your power to stop them. This film will only cause irrevocable harm towards everyone and spread an acceptable attitude of racism, sexism and homophobia. It is up to you, not as a film-goer, or as an educated person, but as a HUMAN BEING, to make sure this film doesn't infect anyone you might know. I repeat, keep everyone you know away from this film, and you'll be doing your part to make this world a better place. And if they do happen to experience this film, act cautiously towards them, but know that they'll never recover that shred of humanity- paying $10 to see this film erases any humanitarian act anyone may accomplish, and is a mark that shall be forever held above their head.

For Larry The Cable Guy Fans, you should see this before they take the Browns to the Super Bowl

[dbuffalo · 4/10 · 24 March 2006]

Unlike the very first reviewer, I confess that I never played college baseball with Larry the Cable Guy at Boston College or anywhere else. I did have a pretty tough week this week, and in celebration of the fact that I work some long and crazy hours I did my every other week Friday Matinée movie expecting some really crude, baseless, and thoroughly stupid humor.

I was not disappointed.

Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector is a reasonably competent movie vehicle for Dan "Larry the Cable Guy" Whitney, allowing for the fact that it is rife with all the flatulent, politically incorrect, crude, redneck, and every other kind of socially unredeeming humor we have come to know him for within his solo stand-up and "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" career.

The whole crux of this film revolves around Larry's job as a restaurant health department inspector who happens to be offending virtually every one in his path and screwing up at his job. To correct his ways or end his career, he is allied with a new partner, the virtually hermaphrodic Amy Butlin (played by suitably hermaphrodic nerd-turned-comedienne Iris Bahr). What ensues is a caper in which Larry finds a love interest, belittles his partner, laughs at his retarded neighbor, abuses a phony paraplegic, wrestles a uni-browed daughter of a crooked restaurateur, degrades all manner of human life, all while trying to solve the case of serial food poisoning. We are also treated to what Jerry Mathers looks like at the end of his career and to what became of Thomas F. Wilson (remember Biff Tannen?) as if he actually had a career as a quasi-straight (don't you think that's funny, I called Biff straight?) guy for Larry's gaffs.

Sound interesting? Of course not, but every crude one-liner in Larry's repertoire (new and old) is balanced against a sometimes funny sometimes lame plot. There is enough of "Cable Guy" humor and off-beat timing to laugh at, even some things the P.C. police would send you straight to Hell for. Ample fresh material exists to keep the not-so-funny lines from keeping the average Cable Guy fan from disliking this movie.

Anyone expecting any more or less of Health Inspector is probably not a Larry the Cable Guy fan, and certainly should not see this film. If you are, however, and you just want to see about 90 minutes of absolutely insolent yet funny bathroom-style garbage disguised as humor, then by all means "Git 'er DUN" and see this film. It could be worse, of course, but comeonn….it's Larry The Cable Guy, NOT Shakespeare.

4 out of 10 for a comedy like this means it is B-style humor worth seeing if you understand the brand of humor being presented. I did take a shower afterward though.

Please Stop!

[lovekh · 1/10 · 8 July 2006]

At some point the American movie going audience should stand up and tell film studios we will not stand for this garbage anymore. I saw this movie on the tail end of a double feature at a drive-in theater. The first movie was Scary Movie 4 so as many rational people will tell you maybe I was a little jaded before the second feature started. I pondered this question and realized no, this movie is just terrible. It pretty much consisted of a drunk hillbilly running around with out the slightest hint of hometraining. By the way I saw this movie outside of Cincinnati, OH. That night it began to storm pretty bad during the movie. Why do I say this? Because I came so close to wishing it would turn into a tornado and tear the screen away. It was just that bad. I am just sad for Megyn Price. I really enjoyed her in "Grounded for Life," but this mess might have ruined her career. This is the kind of movie that I call a career killer, once an actor does one of these you will never seem them in a respectable film again. See: Chris Rock and "Pootie Tang," or any cast member of "Soul Plane." If you want to see non talent on a screen turn to public access on TV. I strongly advise you save your hard earned money.

wtf

[samsatitagain · 1/10 · 29 March 2006]

seriously this was just so awful i can't even say whats bad I would just sit here for an hour saying how this is the worst movie of all time no exceptions this is worse than the nick canon Nikelodeon show they used to play it was awful dirt so bad I UH and how can all these people comment with 5 stars like some comedians i think are stupid fake and just not funny and i understand how some people like lowbrow but this THIS this is like the statement of where America is if you gave this movie 10 stars then you really just good lord stupid comedy sure whatever you have to be like a 7 year old who likes poop and fart jokes to like this I JUST DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN BE THAT bad i mean they didn't even put an effort into this they practically filmed this in their garage

The Mind-Body Problem Solved

[sweepthelegjohnny-1 · 4/10 · 26 March 2006]

Plato contends that the soul is distinct from the body and is capable of maintaining a separate existence from it. Aristotle, in contrast, feels that body and soul are two aspects of the same underlying substance; form and matter.

The dualist position has reigned supreme. However, by espousing a distinct type of substance for the mind, dualists invite the question: What is it that makes it possible for two contraries to interact? I've always had a soft spot for dualism, but after seeing the first 5 minutes of Larry the Cable Guy's "Health Inspector" I've fully adopted an identity theorist's approach to the existence, or lack thereof, of the human soul.

It seems highly improbably, if not impossible, that an immortal mind could promote, as an artistic expression of itself, the sordid tale of this so-called "Health Inspector." It's nothing more than a farce: man as some sort of pure, critically thinking substance existing in a platonic heaven where a universal Cable Guy sits, perpetually gitting-r-done!

Beyond low brow comedy runs out of steam after 15 minutes and is only sporadically worth seeing after that

[dbborroughs · 4/10 · 29 April 2006]

Hamlet its not.

Funny it is, in the lowest of the low sort of way. Its fart jokes (and worse) galore and if you hate them stay away.

The plot has Larry getting a new partner and being assigned the ritzy restaurant beat by the mayor. Of course its a set up and of course in the end Larry comes riding to the rescue.

The problem is that after about 15 or 20 minutes the laughs stop as the plot really kicks in. There are jokes after 15 minutes just not that many good ones, even of the fart related variety. Actually by the half hour mark the movie becomes rather dull in a been there done that, why aren't there more jokes sort of way. While I don't think that the movie is the worst ever made, it is a disappointment simply because it runs out of steam so early on.

Not worth paying for at any time, it is worth seeing when it finally makes it to cable where you can see the funny bits endlessly with out having to waste your money.

3 out of 10

Pretty Good Bad Movie

[jarrodmon-1 · 7/10 · 18 September 2006]

Some of these folks need to lighten up. This movie was intended to be good old mindless fun. Is it rude and crude? Sure. Is it vulgar? You bet. Then again, I don't think anyone involved was anticipating "For Your Consideration" ads placed in Variety come Oscar season.

Maybe we don't always have to relax for two hours after working a 55 hour week at a blue collar job by watching Amistad or Boys Don't Cry. Maybe it's okay to pull a long neck Natural Light out of the fridge and watch Pauly Shore or Rob Schneider. Perhaps even Larry the Cable Guy commenting on "a brown snake playing peek-a-boo with my butt crack." And for those impressing us with their tolerance and raging over Larry implying a fruity waiter is gay, or calling a woman in a business suit a "boy," I have to wonder, as I often do, why white guys are the only beings on the planet who can take some ribbing without crying about bigotry.

Every single commercial that ever airs on television depicts women and minorities and especially wives as super intelligent, almost God like figures. White men are slobbering half wits who can barely speak in complete sentences. And why are their no mass protests? Because we can take it. Period. Yet Larry makes a crack about his boss being mad supposedly because he's receiving anti-gay hate mail, and all of the "tolerence" activists pull out the daggers.

But I digress. This is a fairly entertaining mindless 90 minute diversion. If you can't take a joke, go watch First Wives Club. If you can check your brain at the door, Health Inspector will give you a few laughs, while solving a "premedicated" crime.

Overrated (not kidding)

[mockay · 1/10 · 24 July 2006]

Its not as explicitly racist as some people say but its still one of the worst movies in the world and without a shred of doubt, the worst I've ever had the bad luck of suffering in my life. Let my suffering prevent yours. Do not see this movie. Now consider how many people have voted this movie a 10, in the hundreds, making that the second highest number of votes, besides the 1/10s. Whatever the truth it, under no circumstance can this movie be awarded a perfect rating (10/10) and put in the league of the Godfather, Shawshank Redemption, Aliens etc Without considering those fake 10/10 ratings, this movie gets nothing but 1/10 rating, which is highly deserving. So this movie is actually IMDb bottom no.1 in rank, if people had really voted realistically instead of blindly giving it 10/10. And just because its the worst movie in the world, does'nt mean that you should check it out due to curiosity. This movie isn't just bad but also harmful.

What were you expecting?

[frogstompx-585-234486 · 8/10 · 24 May 2014]

I'm not sure why this movie gets such bad reviews. Maybe it's a guilty pleasure of mine, but I love this movie. What were you expecting when you saw it? You either like Larry's style of comedy, or you don't. If you set your expectations too high, then I suppose this movie falls flat. But if you go expecting some cheap laughs and fart jokes, it's a home run. All I'm saying is give it a chance. Again, if you don't like Larry the Cable Guy or potty humor, skip it. But then again, if you're like me and do like those things, I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it. Don't take life so seriously. Relax, unwind, make some popcorn and watch. It's just a funny movie, I don't care who you are, so enjoy it!

Sure it was rude and offensive, but it was VERY FUNNY!!!

[debums · 6/10 · 27 March 2006]

OK, I know we should have abandoned bathroom humor in 9th grade, but crude and offensive comments about bodily functions still get a good laugh! Especially when those comments are made with Larry's colorful and creative phrasing. If you want a break from adulthood, go with pals you can laugh with and not feel you have to maintain a certain image. The audience was laughing loudly and holding their stomachs at the crude comments. I've even been sharing some quotes with other friends and family who appreciate tacky sayings! There is at least one of them that I couldn't share because I kept laughing while trying to repeat it and they couldn't understand me.

Go and have a ball! If you take kids or your more uptight friends/family, you'll hate it, so plan carefully. :o)

Flatulence in the finest restaurants...

[moonspinner55 · 1/10 · 17 September 2006]

Comedian Larry the Cable Guy's acting debut, playing a redneck health inspector who, alongside his female partner (who dresses down like a librarian out of a 1950s comedy), ferrets out a conspiracy to destroy fine-dining establishments. Slovenly humor goes back decades, and of course is often very successful, but there may be something deviate about Larry the Cable Guy's sense of humor; it's irrelevant to his core audience--who just want to have a mindless good time with the toilet jokes--but the film's rampant ugliness belies a hatred of people that coats the whole sub-modest enterprise like pond scum. Anyone with a semblance of grace or a modicum of style or good breeding is considered a candidate for the local gay bar (the movie is very fond of putting down "the queers"), while Larry's unattractive co-hort is never allowed to blossom (she's all business, which to Larry means she must be kept in her place, as that of a stereotypical spinster). There's a half-hearted, played-for-jokes romance somewhere in the middle of this wretched picture, but to bring that up is really about as useful as criticizing the witlessness of the entire conception. Audiences high on this kind of low-ball humor don't want profundities or helpful criticism; they only want to see the flies in the food. This movie gives them what they want. NO STARS from ****

Movie stinks, and I'm being nice

[poison1227 · 1/10 · 25 September 2006]

Larry the Cable Guy was somewhat entertaining, but do not be fooled by this. He did not live up to his Blue Collar reputation. The only reason they had actors like Joanna Cassidy, Jerry Mathers and the other known actors must be because they like the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. There can be no reason other than this. Under no circumstances pay your hard-earned money to watch this farce of a movie. It's disgusting. From peeing in the shower, to showing his butt crack at least twice, to the diarrhea scenes (which were totally distasteful) with Larry and Megyn Price. Including running out of toilet paper. How did he solve the problem? By wiping with a bathroom towel and pouring potpourri in his underwear. Can there be anything more disgusting? How many fart, crap and vomit scenes can one look at without throwing up oneself? And let us not forget the off-hand comment (ha-ha) about sleeping with his hand? How old is he, twelve? I hate to say this because I am a fan of Larry the Cable Guy, aka Daniel. Say a prayer for the writers and the production company that they never allow this to happen again.
