Larry the Cable Guy embargo (Get R Done)

I hate Larry the Cable Guy more so than Jared. High on beer and slim-jims, I guess some people find him funny. It would appear The Samurai Frog and I have something in common, we both have a Larry the Cable Guy embargo. While I will watch such bad movies as Leonard Part 6, I will still refuse to watch any of Larry’s movies.

Given that Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector quickly disappeared from the theaters, I thought we were done with Larry starring in his own movies. I guess not.

Congratulations to Delta Farce for getting 0/0 rating on Rotten Tomatoes.com. You should be proud, Larry. Your movie got 3.5 million on the weekend. Now, if the rednecks continue to support it, you'll end up with 5 million in complete box office sales, and empty beer cans in the theaters.

Here's what the critics think about your ‘film’.

Brian Orndorf

((Last year's "Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector" was a no-brainer comedic skid mark. It didn't take any energy to loathe it, and the film didn't exactly court quality with a screenplay written on cocktail napkins in magic marker and its 10-cent production polish. "Delta Farce" is the follow-up, and while I could say the quality of Larry's feature film work has improved, that isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for the picture. It's like saying drowning is more welcome than being set on fire.))

Well, at least he thinks you improved yourself. Once you're rock bottom, there's only one place to go.

Says this...

((Delta Farce - in which Whitney, Bill Engvall and DJ Qualls play army reservists who are shipped to Iraq, crash en route in the Mexican desert and can’t tell the difference - consists almost exclusively of obvious, witless gags about the witlessness of the three main characters, with a few gay jokes thrown in for variety. ))

So, this was the plot? Wasn't this plot part of the Police Academy series Mission to Moscow? So, now we're ripping off bad movies too?

Kevin Carr

((“Delta Farce” is a low-rent “Stripes” without the makings of a comedy classic. Larry the Cable Guy, DJ Qualls and Bill Engvall play U.S. Army weekend warriors who are called to duty when the Presidents requires more troops in Fallujah. During their flight, the three misfits are accidentally dumped with the plane’s cargo.))

Man, this movie does sound familiar. It’s the same damn plot as Three Amigos! and In the Army Now. Please don’t tell me Pauly Shore can make a better movie.

Don’t worry, (or do) Larry is also making a cartoon movie. Untitled Larry the Cable Guy Animated Project.This guy is probably the only thing cool about this movie.

Uwe Boll makes better movies than Larry the Cable Guy.

Have you read David Cross's Open Letter to Larry the Cable Guy?

The ONLY thing i really stand of him is the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, and that too since i only have audio. One of my friends lives in that general area where he's popular, and can't even stand the Get R done caps they sell and wear, poor guy.

MC: Even though I hate giving Boll credit, you're 100% right. I even think Boll's movie make more money too!

That David Cross letter is a very good read. Thanks for the link. He makes some good points.

Blayde: I was just in a gas station and they were selling a bunch of his Get-r-done hats and key chains. I can't believe that he's made a Franchise off this stuff.

Not even Richard Pryor or Murphy has the merchandise this guy has. Then again, they're movies have more more money.

Since I live in Kentucky, I see this stuff and Stone Cold Steve Austin's stuff too.
