Delta Farce
A Movie Review |
|
 |
As I was watching "Delta Farce" I couldn’t stop obsessing
that on the army uniforms all of our heroes had a last name,
that is all except one. That one would be Larry (played by
Larry the Cable Guy), whose nametag was simply "Larry." I
guess it’s a bad sign for a movie if I am obsessing on
nametags because that probably means I’m not being
entertained by the film, which sadly was the case for my
watching "Delta Farce," although, I do admit, there were
some decent laughs, or at least some groaners.
If you’ve seen the trailer you pretty much know all about
the movie, but I’ll fill you in just in case the trailer has
slipped your viewing pleasure…
Larry the Cable Guy is Larry. He’s hitting a stretch of
suckiness in his life. Bill Engvall is, well, Bill, who's
living the good life in his double-wide in the trailer park
complete with a bitch of a wife (Lisa Lampanelli). DJ
Qualls, who surprisingly isn’t called "DJ" in the movie,
plays Everett, living out of a storage garage. But all three
of our heroes are members of the National Guard (God help us
all), and when their monthly weekend to party at camp comes,
they find themselves being sent to Iraq. Now I didn’t think
the quickest route to Iraq was flying over Mexico, but in
any case our trio and their sergeant, Sgt. Kilgore (Keith
David), find themselves getting dumped out of the transport
plane's cargo bay and landing in Mexico, only our trio thinks
the good sarge is dead and that they are in Iraq.

They
eventually come across a town that is being terrorized by
Carlos Santana (Danny Trejo), a bad guy, not the singer, and
work to rid the town of the bad guys. Then they find out
they are actually in Mexico, but Larry is falling in love
with Maria (Marisol Nichols), the daughter of the Mayor, and
they decide to stay and make sure the town is safe. Blah,
blah, blah.
Look, "Delta Farce" isn’t rocket science, and the easiest
way I can put this is that if you are highly entertained by
the trailer you will probably love this movie; if you are
mildly amused by the trailer this might make for a DVD
rental, and if you can’t stand the humor of Larry the Cable
Guy or Bill Engvall, never watch this movie. The jokes are
pretty simple, like when Everett pees in a canteen in case
they run out of water and you can pretty much guess this canteen
will come into play later in the movie, or the running joke
that the leader of the bad dudes is Carlos Santana, not the
singer, but there is a chuckle here and there. For me I’m
giving "Delta Farce" 1 ½ stars out of 5 only because the
premise of the movie had potential, but they didn’t seem to
get to creative with it. For this movie, though, don’t go on
my rating; watch the trailer and you’ll pretty much know if
this is a comedy for you.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!!
