Just perfect...
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
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!
First of all, let me just say that this film is just awful. Granted, I wasn't expecting an Oscar winner, but this film was just awful. Before I get into that, let's discuss the plot shall we? Larry (Larry th Cable Guy) is a health inspector, who's boss (Tom Wilson) hates him and assigns him a partner (Iris Bahr) to work with him. Larry and Butlin (Larry's partner) investigate the poisoning of four-star restaurants.The plot is stupid. The acting is awful (it's pretty sad when Larry the Cable Guy can act better than Arian Ash, the woman who plays the Lingerie Store Manager), the writing is atrocious, the directing is horrible. There is not one funny scene. Now, I was laughing throughout, but not because it was funny, but because it was so awful, I couldn't help but laugh. Now Tommy Boy was a stupid film, but at least it was ACTUALLY funny and you cared about the characters. You don't care about any of the pricks in this, you just want them to all get shot. There is nothing good I can say about this movie really. I used to think that Dragon Wars (2007) was the worst film I've seen, but this may actually beat that awful excuse for a movie. Avoid this at all costs. If I had to choose between being forced to watch this at gunpoint, or being shot in the head, I would choose being shot in the head. Awful. Anyone involved in this piece of s***t should be embarrassed and hide their heads in shame. They should be executed for crimes against humanity. That's all.
..And I couldn't find anything more ! In fact, the whole plot wasn't the most smart thing here, it was the ONLY smart thing. I loved the story of one health inspector who lives a conflict to make justice in restaurants through comic adventures, but eventually I didn't love everything else ! This movie hit a new world record in the marathon of the bad tasting movies as it was nothing but a flood of ugly jokes about anything behind the pants ! All the human secretions are being referenced here and in the tritest ways ever. It deserved an Oscar for the best emetic movie of the year. I like to be vulgar for sometime but not for ALL the time with every element hitting the lowest bottom also ! (Larry The Cable Guy) is a force of nature. But all the producers whom used to deal with him yet, preferred to play the safe game right now : make the fashionable filth that we're having A LOT of lately, and to tell you the truth (Larry) can provide it cleverly. Look at his character as a health inspector who's a health disaster in himself. That could make one nice comedy along the way, but it just made a despicable joke just every 30 seconds ! (Larry) here is being himself even if that means all the repulsive speeches, being not ashamed of his defects, and saying freely - instead of us - some of the words that we all need to say to our managers; so it might have been real fun to watch him and to empty our suppressed feelings even if through dirty jokes. But the formula of this movie was too disordered to stand; whereas the toilet humor invaded everything and everyone to devastate itself and us !It's a damn era for sure. Because there must be an explanation for all of this ugliness around us, and for the determination of making it vigorously and growingly like this, and it would be pretty much painful explanation I'm sure. It will contain some important contemporary issues indeed : the exigent desire to forget about the society's problems more than facing them, the matter of one absurd filthier war, the craving for getting revenge on all the dirtiness of the world dirtily (the rich class as the restaurant's owner, and the authority's figures as the twisted mayor !). However, when this kind became a mode, success, or even being made without any smartness as unadulterated REAL crap Then it's a society's problem more than another filthy comedy or Razzie movie !So this movie may be so right to the ones whom want PURE farts' jokes, because like this – and just like this – they could obtain purgation. However it became nowadays a freaky kind of "purgation" which made some movies like squalid toilets already !
Larry the Cable Guy has never been one of my favorite comedians anyway, but I can't even stand to see *him* doing anything so gut-wrenchingly repulsive as to star in a movie where the most memorable quote is, "Y' ever fart s' hard yer back cracks?"This miserable abomination of a movie is something I never wanted to see, but it was playing in the room and I wanted to spend time with my family. Call me crazy. That was the film equivalent of falling on a grenade! I don't know how I overlooked this movie for my 25 Worst List in My Movies, but it's going straight in there when I'm done writing this.If you're a fan of Blue Collar Comedy Tour, I guess you're supposed to love this. However, BCCT notwithstanding, this movie is terrible. How on Earth does a movie like this ever get made? No-- don't tell me-- profit.
