War isn't funny...but this movie is.
G.I. Joke
Locked & Loaded
Two hunters (Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy) who are good with guns get picked up by the Feds to be deployed to Iraq. The plane actually drops them off in Mexico which they think is Iraq and go on to deal with Mexican outlaws. The leader of the gang is named Carlos Santana and so far the most popular joke is for everyone to say "the singer?" after hearing his name said. And no it isn't the singer, but the baddest outlaw in all of Mexico...

The only farce was that this comedy doesn't have comedy
posted on 27 Jul 2009this movie i saw as a mistake. see, i was vacationing in Mexico, and there, we saw the Spanish title for this movie in the local theater without seeing the poster and thought we were gonna see tropic thunder. big mistake, i say. for starters, who the hell told the blue collar squad, specially that fatass named larry the cable guy, that they're cut for movies? it tries to give some chuckles by using hot but dumb blonde chicks and hick redneck jokes, with no results. then we have these idiots going to reserve training. granted, reserve forces are more relaxed than active duty, but these idiots treat it as a vacation. no doubt REAL reservists and guardsmen will not be amused. then there's the whole "i think were in iraq" crap. Jesus, they're your stereotypical patriot warmongering hicks who supposedly follow the war, how can they assume that iraq has, i don't know, MOUNTAINS?! and they see two Mexican peasants and because they have brown skin, they assume them to be iraqis! and anyone who has gone to a real rural Mexican town knows this movie is full of crap, cause Mexican towns don't look like this! it looks more like a set for a speedy gonzales cartoon. all in all, this movie fails for its gross humor lack of geographic skills and outdate racial humor. yeah, accuse me of taking this too seriously but ill tell you this, superbad, pineapple express, talladega nights, now those were funny. not surprisingly we walked out of this godawful pieces of cowcrap. in the end, it wasn't about being pro or anti war or loving or hating rednecks. it's about trying to have a good time at the movies and having it ruined. p.s. the reason i gave this 2 stars is that this in not AS bad as larry the cable guys other "crapsterpiece" health inspector.
Delta Farce
posted on 08 May 2009This movie was so funny! I really liked it because one thing after another just kept happening, and one thing led right into another! They thought they were in Iraq when they were really in New Mexico. This movie was so funny with Larry The Cable Guy, and I think that the plot is great. I think if you are looking for a funny movie to watch with the family on a rainy night, than this movie is the right one! Anyone who loves Larry The Cable guy should watch this movie! If you thought Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector was funny, this movie is even funnier! This movie is a must see! If you want to really get a good laugh then you should watch this movie because it is full of laughs!
Quite possible the worst movie in all of history
posted on 24 Apr 2009I really wish I could give this movie a negative rating it was just so terribly bad. My date and I were the last people to walk out of the movie; the whole theater was empty about an hour and a half into the movie. The jokes were just not funny. I had a couple of times where I forced a chuckle, if only because I went to the movie really wanting to laugh. The acting, scripts, plot, everything, was pathetic. Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie at all cost. If you really feel the need to dispose of your money so wastefully, you could wire it to me and the money you spent will provide you with the same amount of entertainment. If, after reading this and the other reviews of this travesty of a movie, you still feel you must watch it, wait for it to show up on cable... as bad as this movie is, you probably will not have to wait more than a month before it hits TV.
Spectacular film! VERY FUNNY!!
posted on 14 Apr 2009I can't say how much I enjoyed this film. The casting was amazing and the direction of the film was spectacular. I am going back tomorrow to see this film again. It was so funny. I was laughing so hard throughout the whole thing. Larry the Cableguy is going to be the next Jim Carey. I think this film will propel him to comedy superstardom! The comedic timing of all the actors are excellent and the jokes in this film is just so darn funny, like I said before, I couldn't stop laughing. I was laughing so hard, my stomach was aching, and I thought I had made an accident in my pants. The theatre was laughing so hard. Yeah, wow, this film is bound to end up as one of the greatest comedic gems in movie history!! Go see it, you won't be disappointed!! You'll be glad you saw it! Okay, I have to stop writing now, I am going to go see it again!
Bored to Death ! What Idiot funded and Green Lit this crap ?!
posted on 27 Mar 2009but I gave it a 10 just for the heck of it. Why ? cause many movies suck anyway, what difference does it make ? The fact that people will watch Poker games on TV is enough about our "modern" Civility, that something is seriously wrong with America. Doesn't anyone agree that Las Vegas is the new Sodom & Gomorrah ? lol. Ooops, off the topic again. Anyway, I fell asleep in my boyfriend arms while watching the stupid movie, so at least something good came out of it. I awoke only to find him sleeping too, that was the only thing I laughed about in the theater. I have no idea why he wanted to watch this movie. Okay I've reached ten lines now, I can stop blabbering. Thank you.
This movie sucked!
posted on 01 Mar 2009That was the second worst movie ( Redline being the 1st ) I have ever seen in my entire life. The plot sucked, I laughed more at the previews than I did the whole movie, the cast sucked at acting, the action scenes were like something you would see on youtube that was made by 15 year olds.The movie was so bad, that it ruined my date and any chances I had getting laid that night. Because of delta farce, I had to fire up the ole Mrs. Hand and her five sisters to get rid of my blue balls. Thanks rednecks.So basically, Don't watch this crappy movie!!!!!!!!!! Your better off trying to find something on HBO or if your poor like me AMC channel.
Worst movie ever!!!
posted on 22 Jan 2009I would rather kill myself then have to sit through this piece of junk movie again!!! The only reason I finished this movie was because I have never seen anything so stupid in my life!!! If you thought this movie was funny chances are you are your an inbred hick who will never see this comment because you can't read!!! Fcuk Leary the cable guy!!! "Get er done" sorry Leary Giver up!!! What really amazed me was the fact that this movie came highly recommended from a friend! Take my advice and never watch this movie take the hour and a half and stare at a blank wall it will be more entertaining!! Next time someone tells me that delta farce was a good movie I will spit in their face.
How Low Can You Go?
posted on 04 Jan 2009"Delta Farce" strains credibility even for a comedy whose sole purpose for existence is to strain credibility. Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall and DJ Qualls star as three imbecilic army reservists who are accidentally dropped off in Mexico on their way to Iraq. Unaware of the mix-up, the trio, believing at first that they are actually in Iraq, wind up fighting against some local gangsters who are terrorizing the inhabitants of a small rural village.As written by Bear Aderhold and Tom Sullivan and directed by C. B. Harding, "Delta Farce" is riddled with wheezy plot mechanics, tired lowbrow humor, and insulting stereotypes of gays and Mexicans, the latter of whom are portrayed as either gold-toothed, moustache-twirling banditos or backward children who not only cannot defend themselves against the bad guys but must rely on good old American ingenuity and know-how to get even the simplest menial task accomplished. This is especially offensive given that these American heroes are not too many DNA strands away from being certifiable idiots themselves. None of this would really matter so much if the movie itself had managed to be funny. As it is, however, this is about as thoroughly witless and lame-brained a comedy as has come our way in a long long time.The movie makers end on a sobering note, dedicating the film to the real military men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's a nice gesture, I suppose, but don't our brave soldiers already have enough troubles over there without having to contend with a cinematic "tribute" like "Delta Farce"?
On the level of "Dumb and Dumber"
posted on 03 Nov 2008Every now and then I need to watch a dumb movie. The last time I laughed like this was "Dumb and Dumber." This movie doesn't reach that level of dumb, but it's close. The makers of this movie were obviously aiming low and I think they hit their mark. If you are expecting something more than base, lowdown, politically incorrect, bathroom humor, then do not see this movie.Don't listen to these pseudo-intellectuals who think humor has to be smart. Personally, I think it's healthy to laugh at stupid, and this is pretty stupid. In fact it's so stupid that of the three main characters, Larry the Cable Guy's character is the smart one.The movie starts off predictable, using jokes and setups from Bill Engvall's and Larry the Cable Guy's comedy acts. But, the movie proceeds into new territory once it gets moving.I mean c'mon! The three lame "reservists" bury their sergeant, who turns out is not dead, and the person giving the eulogy throws in a final prayer asking God to help him win the Powerball lottery. "I don't care who you are, that's funny."It is perfect for what it is, and if you watch it with that attitude you'll laugh.
Its Just A movie
posted on 03 Nov 2008OK why cant people just watch a movie and enjoy it for what it is why is it that every movie release has to be reduced to some ridiculous claim of racism. This movie is not exactly great but it was enough for me too be entertained through-out.DJ Qialls with his build is hilarious in this setting i haven't seen him in anything since The New guy.And well if you liked the blue comedy and more importantly Larry the cable guy you will get your fix "GET R'DONE".Nothing in this film is malicious or racist its just puns and dumb giggles. BUT come on What else would you expect.The only thing that i really didn't like in this movie was the American glorification but I've come to expected that All I can say is turn off your brain and you might like the movie.
Average Comedy
posted on 04 Oct 2008I am going to be honest, I thought this movie would be a little funnier than it was but it wasn't a complete disappointment. The first 35 minutes of the movie was just plain retarded and unfunny, then after that it gets a little better. However seeing that the 3 leading comedians were Larry The Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and D.J. Qualls, I still found the funniest guy in this movie to be Keith David. His role as Sgt. Kilgore made me laugh several times more than I laughed at the others, oh and Danny Trejo was pretty good as being the villain and being funny at the same time. But anyways I give this movie a 5 out of 10 because it starts off slow and unfunny, but then it kind of picks up and you might have a few laughs before the end credits start to roll.
I don't care what people say. This movie was funny!
posted on 04 Oct 2008This movie was funnier than I thought it would be. I love Larry the Cable Guy and I thought that he was funny in this. This movie had a funny cast of Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, DJ Qualls, Keith David, and Danny Trejo. Delta Farce had nonstop laughs for me because I love Larry the Cable Guy. I thought that this movie would be stupid. It was stupid, but it was also incredibly funny. It had all kinds of jokes from red neck jokes to racist jokes. Danny Trejo was very funny as Carlos Santana. Yes. Carlos Santana, but not the singer. I loved this movie and it definitely deserves more credit than it got. I thought that this was a great movie. 10/10.
This movie was beyond bad....
posted on 24 Sep 2008First off, I LIKE Larry the Cable Guy(or whatever his real name is).I actually enjoyed the Health Inspector movie he did(or whatever exactly it was called)But this movie SUCKED....flat out, NO WAY around it.....period.Im sorry, but if you actually found this movie funny, you have the sense of humor of a 5 year old.The ONLY reason i gave this movie 2 Stars was because....first off because i don't think you can give a movie 0 Stars....maybe you can, maybe i didn't try hard enough. Second off, there was like 1 or 2 small quick scenes i thought were funny.....that's IT.DJ qualls or whatever his retarded name is, is a HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE actor. (i realize this guy is a survivor of some kind of illness, but this guy SHOULD NOT be acting....period.)bill engvall was an innocent victim in this movie....he's a very funny guy, it's a shame he agreed to sign onto this movie.....he probably did it purely because they couldn't find ANYONE dumb enough to sign on, so jeff did it just because he's a good friend.....whatever.Keith David is AWESOME, i love this guy, he was actually the only funny guy IN the movie.....too bad he got suckered into signing onto this movie too.This is one of the few movies i've actually just STOPPED watching because it just sucked so bad, the plot was weaker than the rating I gave it. The movie goes nowhere, the comedy was SO DUMB, yet they try to pull the plot off as real for a comedy movie, yet bombs out miserably.Trust me, I WANTED to like this movie, I TRIED to find the humor in it, but it just wasn't there.I'm the type of guy that will give any movie a chance, I am not picky at all. I like over 90% of the movies I have seen in my lifetime.....I am not hard to entertain or please.This movie was THAT BAD.....WOW words cannot describe it.I'm so glad I actually never bought it, otherwise I would have glued it to a piece of cardboard and literally used it at the local pistol range just to get out some aggression.
A Movie to enjoy and not Think pure Entertainment
posted on 18 Sep 2008I walked in late at the drop scene.I was the only person in the Theater.I guess these type of Movies don't appeal to Woodinville, Washington people?I was howling at times,the scene of the Big Sgt. riding a motor scooter in the middle of the desert in a red Nightie was worth the admission price.The skinny guy was one of the funniest characters I've ever seen in the movies.Danny Trejo was perfect as usual.It was a cross between "The Magnificent Seven meets Deliverence".This is a Movie where you get the guys together,have a few beers, and enjoy.No thinking allowed.They had a guy who looked like a Mexican "Dom Delouise" who was perfect,I don't think he even had a line in the movie other than singing a duet with the Sgt.
Finally, a perceptive comedy about US involvement in Iraq
posted on 14 Sep 2008It isn't a masterpiece but it made me laugh in places. The humour is mostly low-brow and working class (a.k.a. redneck), the situations, characters and the music are all generic but the stars are excellent at what they do. As usual when I see an American comedy that is rated so low, I look for reasons other than the film's "intrinsic quality". In this case, it is pretty evident that what turned a lot of Americans off is that the film, while being respectful of military personnel, uses its sly humour to make fun of the US' supposed military objectives in Iraq and its moral is a timely reminder that if it's freedom and democracy you're supposed to be fighting for, there is a lot more work to be done close to home than in a country most Americans can't find on a map. 10 stars.
For rednecks & people under 15 y/o
posted on 06 Sep 2008I've seen a lot of really bad movies in theaters. Sat through them and suffered. This was only the second movie in my life time that I've actually walked out on. I wish I had left sooner than what I did (I sat through nearly an hour and a half of this crap), I could have gotten a lot more done that day. Seriously, it was nothing but vague references to overdone jokes by both Larry the Cable Guy & Bill Engvall - two comedians who haven't changed their routines in nearly a decade, who by some fluke of nature, still have careers. At one point the movie actually paused to zoom in on Larry, covered with ammo, so he could say "Git-r-done" and rile up all the rednecks in the audience.Every aspect of this movie was terrible. The acting, the fight scenes, the comedy, even the explosions were terribly boring and pathetic. What it boils down to is this: Bill Engval & Lary TCG are nothing without Jeff Foxworthy and Ron White. No, the movie wouldn't have been much better with those two on the bandwagon, but it might have at least had some laughable humor in it.
Delta farce = Excellent
posted on 27 Aug 2008After reading other peoples comments and seeing the review score i was shocked, i can't believe how low that the score it.I think that this film is awesome, well thought out. Putting three dumb people in the army and sending them to Iraq but ending up in Mexico, while the three dumb people think that they are in Iraq. One of the best films i have seen. I have watched it 1000000 times, and I'm going to watch it now that will make it 1000001.I love the humor the actors and everything about the movie. They couldn't of made it any better. I hope that they make another one like this.I cant see how other people could not of liked it, but i guess that people have their opinions.
Truly pathetic
posted on 07 Aug 2008I'm not sure I've ever seen a worse 'comedy', although Epic Movie gives it a run for its money. None of the jokes were funny, Larry the Cable Guy was just as obnoxious as usual, the acting was terrible, the script stupid, and the premise no better. Unfortunately I got dragged to this one by my brother, who likes most every stupid movie out there (Epic Movie, Paul W.S. Anderson films, etc.). This isn't even one of those "so bad, its good" movies. How Larry the Cable guy continues to get paid for these pieces of trash is beyond conceivability. The saddest thing is 680 people, 12.9% of voters, gave this movie a perfect 10.I give "Delta Farce" 1/10, avoid it like the plague. If you liked this film, well, normally I give recommendations here, but, I can't imagine anyone actually enjoying this.
fans of lowbrow Stooges/Bowery Boys style slapstick, rejoice; all others avoid
posted on 16 Jul 2008I enjoyed Larry The Cable Guy's previous film, HEALTH INSPECTOR. It was a perfect example of lowbrow physical comedy that should have appealed to the Three Stooges and Bowery Boys fans out there. It used time-tested formulas dating back to silent comedy (check my reviews of obscure silent and early-sound comedy shorts and you'll see I love that tradition), and while they are simple-minded and obvious, they still work when in the hands of a comic master. For me, Larry the Cable Guy is in the Larry Fine/Leo Gorcey/Jerry Lewis vein, and also somewhat like the comedic sidekicks in old westerns. This new film is not as much of a gross-out vehicle as the Health Inspector. Bill Engvall is very much a straight man to Larry, while DJ Qualls is like a psycho version of Don Knotts/Barney Fife. These three are a great slapstick misfit trio, if crude obvious physical comedy is what you like. I presume anyone reading this already knows the plot--three loser guys are sent to Iraq to fight and mistakenly get dropped off in Mexico. Like any plot for a slapstick comedy, it's merely a device to hang routines on, and I found the routines to be quite funny. The writing is full of jokes and all three guys are great physical comedians. It's also nice to see screen heavies like Keith David and Danny Trejo in comic roles, David as the Sergeant who is leading the boys, Trejo as a weird bandit leader. Larry's stand-up routines are VERY different from this film. Don't see this film unless you liked Health Inspector. Or unless you want to see someone working the old Three Stooges/Bowery Boys type routines. My teenage daughter and I laughed quite often and found the film more than worth the money. By the way, the outtakes at the end of the film are interesting in that they show scenes that did not make the final cut. I hope those scenes will be included on the DVD. I anxiously await Larry's next vehicle, WITLESS PROTECTION.
Larry and Bill should stick to stand-up comedy
posted on 10 Aug 2009I like Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall. I like their stand up comedy routines. I just do not like their movie Delta Farce.I put a spoiler warning on here, even though it doesn't really need it, as I doubt anyone will see this, and the plot is so predictable that there wouldn't even be a spoiler, yet there may be one or two people who might want the end kept secret until they see it. But please, wait until it comes to DVD and rent it. Wait until the time it goes from New Release to regular rental where it's much cheaper, or unless you can find the poor bastard who would shell out 20 bucks for this film and borrow it from him or her.If you want to see this film soon, go to a matinée where it's much cheaper, as I did. Trust me, you'll be glad you didn't shell out 7 bucks for this clunker.As I said, Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall are funny guys, or at least I think so. I mean, Larry was great in Cars. I don't blame the film on them. I blame the movie on the horrible writing and crappy directing. The writers of the film haven't even written a TV show, yet somehow are qualified to write a nationwide theatrical release (you know that when one of the writers has a first name of Bear, you are not in for a good time). Not that I took this film seriously at the get go, but the fact that they landed in Mexico on the way to IRAQ told me that this whole film was a joke. Keith David and Danny Trejo seemed like Nickelodeon cartoon characters compared to their characters in other movies. They are both pretty intimidating guys in other movies, but not this one.Since I've got a spoiler warning, I'll give you an idea of the dumb sequences included in this film. Larry, surrounded by perhaps 20 armed Mexicans with their guns pointed directly at him, is asked by Danny Trejo's character if he really thinks he can kill everyone in the room with all of those guns pointed at him. Larry replies, "No, but I can kill just one...you", to where Trejo replies, "Damn, I didn't think of that". That kind of stuff. Trejo reminds me of George Lopez as that plug-in like villain in Sharkboy and Lavagirl (I was forced to watch that film, just as bad as Delta Farce).I had a couple laughs here and there, but I sat through the film mostly with my head resting in my hands, envying the woman next to me who was sleeping, because some 11 year old kid wouldn't stop braying like a retarded horse throughout the film.And of course, Larry lands the beautiful girl and makes out with her all the time at the end of the film. It makes Kevin James and Leah Remini from the King of Queens look like Romeo and Juliet.This film was worse than Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector. That's like saying that the Godfather is better than Citizen Kane. Haha, this might be the only time that Godfather and Citizen Kane will be mentioned with Health Inspector and Delta Farce ever.Larry (sorry, I mean Dan), if you're not going to release a good comedy, then just stick to stand up.I'm giving this film three for the possible three laughs I had watching this movie.
