Three bumbling Army reservists are hustled onto a plane headed for combat in Iraq -- but the fact that the plane drops them in Mexico doesn't stop them from "liberating" what they believe to be the Middle East.

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
David_Brown To be honest, anyone putting on a movie with Larry The Cable Guy, cannot expect to see an actor on the level of Paul Newman, or Charlton Heston (Both of which did a service comedy, I reviewed (In Newman's Ccase "The Secret War Of Harry Frigg: and Heston's "The Pigeon That Took Rome"). However, to be honest, this film is beyomd bad.DJ Qualls, is the absolute pits in his role of Everett, a pathetic version of Russell Ziskey (Harold Ramis) from "Stripes". He was so bad, I cringed whenever I saw him (Particularly when he was shooting. As for Danny Trejo, the best thing I can say for him in this film, it is not his worst, that is "Machete" (Also known as the worst film I ever saw). The only thing worthwhile in this movie is Marisol Nichols as Maria, she is a knockout, but that is not enough to recommend. I give this film 1 star (For Marisol), and only because of her, does it avoid being in my top 10 all-time worst film list.
MLDinTN to find out, watch this movie. This movie was better than I expected it to be. It was actually quite funny. Larry, Bill, and Everett are 3 guys that work just 1 weekend a month in the reserves. But suddenly, they get called to active duty and assigned to Iraq. On the way there, the airplane drops a truck in which they just happen to be sleeping in. So, when they wake up, they think they are in Iraq but are actually in Mexico. Then they must save a town from bandits.Some of the things they do are funny. DJ Qualls plays Everett and he has some of the best scenes. He's so skinny and in this he is supposed to be this great wrestler. He also wears a sniper outfit that looks ridiculous and one of the other guys calls him a retarded Chewbacca. Funny. There is also their Sgt. Kilgore who fell out of the plane too. He is forced to sing karaoke by the bandits. The ring leader is named Carlos Santana so of course that brings more jokes. The towns people give them tacos to eat and they just can't believe they have tacos in Iraq. There were many other scenes that made me laugh, but you get the idea.FINAL VERDICT: A lot better than you would think. It's funnier than a lot of movies I've seen lately. Check it out.
LeroyBrown-2 This is one of the most horrendous movies I have ever seen. It's supposed to be a comedy but It wasn't very funny at any moment. And I don't know if it has a political message, is it pro Iraq war or anti, either way I couldn't tell. It's just a mess that should be avoided at all cost, it has no original joke and every joke has been told before. More than that, every joke and every situation that's supposed to be funny has been telegraphed and expected. The movie is about a trio of redneck buddies who are in the Army reserves and are called up to duty to join the fight in Fallujah. Needless to say they did not make it there, but the redneck part is played to the hilt. From the first time they were introduced up to the time they landed at the wrong destination. Everything they do emphasize their ignorance and none of it is particularly funny. It's like the worst of "The Beverly Hillbillies" it's not even ignorance in some cases just stupidity. And it makes the movie more painful to watch than already is.None of the jokes and situations are original, and most of them are telegraphed and quite very early. The situation with Larry and his girlfriend (Christina Moore) was pretty much where it was going to go. You can't convince me that you didn't know what she was going to say. Even the sight gags were so obvious, sending us endless message that this trio are a bunch of rednecks and they're suppose to do the redneck cliché. Old jokes can sometimes still work if you have the right people to deliver it. Suffice to say this cast of goofballs just are not the right people. For the most part they know they're delivering a one liner or a punchline. It's been said that the best way to play comedy is to play it straight. These guys know they're in a comedy and what's worse is that they know it's bad comedy. None of the three leads are particularly good actors and what they do isn't create a character but rather create caricatures. Personally I find that that's common with comedians who try their hands at acting.This movie is an unoriginal, unfunny, clichéd film. The jokes are clichéd and so are the situation. To make matters worse none of the lead are any good as actors.
dobbin-4 Delta Farce is the newest comedy to come from Larry the Cable Guy. In this movie 3 army reservists (Guess) are all sent to Iraq but accidentally get shipped to Mexico. The movie is funny with only 3 or 4 jokes not getting a laugh from me (Which is better then some of the other S@!t coming out nowadays. Anyone who likes a laugh SHOULD get a kick out of this movie. As long as you can sort of Dumb down for an hour and a half this should be an OK film. Overall this film is good and deserves to be recognized for that. I could understand a 4.6 or a 5.5 but a 2.7 is shocking. I rate this film a solid and fair 69%. Good day and god night from Dobbin-4.
