Tags: bleak, humor

Plot synopsis:
An army general (Glenn Morshower) addressing a bunch of assembled troops and stating that real heroes are hard to find these days.Meanwhile, diner waiter Larry (Larry the Cable Guy) is serving sandwiches at a local diner. His girlfriend Karen (Christina Moore) comes up to him and quickly tells him she's pregnant, and before she can stop him, he announces to everybody that she is pregnant and proposes to her. She then tells him that it is not his baby.Meanwhile, Bill Little (Bill Engvall) is talking about marriage with his neighbor (Michael Papajohn). The neighbor points out that most marriages end in divorce, and Bill says that it takes a lot to make a marriage work, such as incriminating photos of him with a girl who was just a good listener and eager to please at the local nightclub.Elsewhere, a man opens up a storage shed to see the leotard-and-leopard-skirt (with a porn-star mustache) clad Everett (DJ Qualls) watching TV. He reprimands Everett for living here when he just works here and berates him for having been a cop for only four days.Sometime later, the three are getting set for their Monthly trip up to their deserted army recruitment camp; turns out these three are also army reservists and picking on Everett about his tendency to be trigger-happy is their form of entertainment.Meanwhile, on an army base somewhere, a Colonel gets a request for more troops for Fallujah and he pulls up the name of the base where the boys are staying and sends Sgt. Kilgore (Keith David) to assess the situation at the reserve base.Kilgore arrives there to find Bill and Larry eating chips and Everett out on a beer run. Pretty soon he has them going through an intense training regimen and not long after, they find themselves being shipped out. The day they leave, Everett and Bill are both making calls, Everett to his boss and Bill to his wife Connie (Lisa Lampinelli), but they are dragged off to a hangar by Kilgore. Once they're all gathered, Kilgore appoints Larry squad leader and marches them onto the plane.The plane is flying through a brutal thunderstorm. The trio, in search of comfort, sneak into a Humvee in the cargo area. Kilgore wakes up and sees them gone and tracks them down just as the pilots encounter heavy turbulence that forces them to drop some cargo. In a moment, the Humvee, some supply boxes, and Kilgore are all falling through the night sky.The next morning, the boys pull themselves from the Humvee, look at the surrounding sandy landscape, and conclude they're in Iraq. After Everett accidentally smashes the radio, they find Kilgore lying next to one of the supply crates and conclude that he died in the fall. They solemnly bury him and give him a brief eulogy that gets interrupted by the sound of Everett urinating into a canteen, claiming that urine's sterility makes it drinkable. Bill and Larry shake their heads and the three load up and move out, not noticing the sign they pass over that says, "Mexico City 500 km."They soon come to a gas station where they fill up, look at a map of Iraq, and have some MREs. Since Larry doesn't like his spaghetti and meatballs, he trades it with Bill for his beef stew, who immediately leaves the spaghetti on the pump when he realizes that Larry spit his chewing tobacco into it. As their getting ready to leave, Everett spots some "Iraqis" and after shooting their donkey, runs up to them and starts demanding to know if they're "Turds or Shi'tites", to which Bill corrects him with, "It's Kurds or Shi'ites, numbskull." Speaking in Spanish to each other, the two "Iraqis" realize these guys can help their village and take them to their town.Meanwhile, back at Kilgore's gravesite, the sergeant wakes up from being knocked unconscious, claws his way out of the dirt cairn he was buried in, staggers over to the left-behind canteen, drinks from it, retches, and screams in vengeance. Meanwhile, the trio hang outside the village of La Miranda where they see some insurgents abuse the locals. They drive the Humvee in and shoot the place up, but still manage to scare most of the "insurgents" off and capture one for questioning, to the delight of the villagers, who throw them a party featuring tacos, which Bill is surprised to find in Iraq. The mayor Tony Perez, who is hosting the party with his daughter Maria (Marisol Nichols), hears this and tries to correct him, but gets shouted out by the boisterous laughter of Larry.Meanwhile, Kilgore makes it to the gas station and after having a bite of Larry's tobacco-filled spaghetti -- and spitting it out -- finds two guys who offer to give him a ride, although secretly they tell each other that they'll take him back to their place and have fun with him there.Meanwhile, Everett is wearing a sniper ghillie suit he brought from home and interrogating the captured bandit. Larry comes in and sees this and sends Everett out to play with a cannon he found while he asks the guy if he is Al Qaeda. After a minute, the guy realizes what's going on and laughs at them and calls him a "gringo". Larry's eyes bulge and he runs outside to find a drunken Bill confirming they're in Mexico while on the arm of an attractive senorita named Magdalena (Danielle Hartnett), and Larry screams and faints.A little while later, Larry is up and freaking out to Bill who calmly -- and with the help of Everett the dictionary -- tells him that technically, according to the US governments definition of terrorists, they still are fighting terrorism and are doing exactly what the army would have them doing, just not in the same place. Larry calms down enough to accept their "mission". That night, while he's walking/flirting through the village with Maria, he learns the name of the leader of the bandits -- a name designed to strike fear (and confusion) into the hearts of all who hear it -- Carlos Santana.At the same time, Santana himself (Danny Trejo) heading things up at his bar by having The Amazing Ken (Jeff Dunham), a kidnapped comedian, perform a bad ventriloquism act and then shooting the dummy when he doesn't like it. At this point one of the banditos from before comes in and tells Santana about the hundreds of US soldiers who have shown up to offer aid to the village, and Santana accepts this news with dignity and grace....and then has two subordinates kill the guy. One of his assistants ask if they're going to La Miranda tonight, and he says, "No, I don't like to work on weekends. Tonight....we do KARAOKE!!!!"Over the next day or two, the trio continue to fix things up around town under what Bill calls "Operation: Sombrero". At the same time, Kilgore secures his freedom with violence, and steal a scooter with nothing on but a little red teddy. At some point, Bill tries to fix the radio to call his superior -- his wife -- and the bartender in front of him tells him about a nearby working phone. They drive out there without telling Larry or Everett but as Bill is getting chewed out for not having mowed the lawn yet and for being in Mexico instead of Iraq, Santana and his goons sneak up on Bill and take him hostage, using the threat of alone time with Santana's gay nephew Ruben (Joe Nunez) to get Bill to talk.Back in town, Everett is trying to get the cannon to work but his arm keeps getting stuck in it and Larry and Maria are talking about her dream to move to the coast and start a restaurant when Santana and troops roll in. They threaten to shoot Bill and Santana gloats that Larry can't shoot all of them until Larry points out that he can just shoot Santana. Bill gets released and suddenly out of nowhere Kilgore shows up and starts chewing out Bill and Larry, not realizing about Santana and the others until a gun is poking into his face. Suddenly, Everett comes charging in with his rifle and this sets off a big fight during which Everett tries to fire a Rocket Launcher at the bandits but instead hits the water fountain, which erupts in a magnificent geyser of water. Fortunately, the explosion scares off the bandits, and the boys are celebrating until they realize that the bandits have captured Kilgore. Left with no choice, the boys decide to go and break him out.That night, Santana is hosting a wrestling tournament between some luchadore and two of his lieutenants. As the luchadore trounces the other guys, Kilgore is tortured by being forced to sing a karaoke version of "I Got You Babe" with Reuben. Meanwhile, the boys have arrived and are steadily sneaking into the compound as Bill constantly changes disguises to manipulate things and Larry goes in to sneak around. Meanwhile, the luchadore has cleared the ring and is searching for a new combatant which he finds in Everett, disguised as a luchadore named "Carne Asada". As they start fighting, Larry breaks Kilgore out and goes to drop in on Santana. Meanwhile, Kilgore finds some dynamite which he and Bill use on the trucks. Just as Everett manages to win his match and rips off his mask in triumph (something a real luchadore would never do) and Larry gets the drop on Santana, the dynamite goes off and our boys make a quick exit as Santana swears revenge on La Miranda.Back in town the next day, Kilgore relents on his take-charge attitude and agrees to help the boys defend La Miranda, and just in time as the bandits pull up. The townspeople hide in the church just as an old Sherman tank rolls up and starts blasting everything. Kilgore yells that they need to stop that thing, and Larry screams for cover as he runs across to the cannon. He finally gets it to work by kicking it, and just then the cavalry arrives in the form of four army helicopters. The bandits scatter, and Santana makes for the church and takes Maria hostage. After making sure that the mayor doesn't have any other attractive daughters, Larry tracks Santana down, rescues Maria, and knocks Santana out with one punch. Once things calm down, a state secretary approaches Larry and Bill (who suffered a shot in his rear differential), and reveals that if they're willing to cooperate, they can make this look good for everybody.Soon, news reports are spreading across the globe about the humanitarian aid given by the army in "Operation: Sombrero" and its efforts to capture local crime lord and rock star Carlos Santana. From here, an award ceremony honors Kilgore and the boys for their actions, where they each get the silver star and Bill gets a purple heart.Days pass after these recent events. Sargeant Kilgore moved to Miami, Florida, where he opened up a private exercise camp where he uses his abuse for the good of mankind. Everett moved back to Mexico and officially became a luchadore using his persona of "Carne Asada". Bill sued the Mexican government for his injury and settled out-of-court, and is currently living off the payoff in Beverly Hills. Larry went back to Mexico, married Maria, and opened up a restaurant called "The Mess Hall" in Cabo San Lucas. As for Santana, he was jailed and put into a rehab program. After being released, he became a ventriloquist using the Amazing Ken's dummy he had shot earlier.

Review: 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.
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.
In fact, it's almost as though they took the script for "Stripes", replaced Bill Murray with Larry the Cable Guy, Russia with Mexico, and cut out most of the humor and wit.
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.
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.
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.
I guess this is a film that Americans just don't get, because the Iraq issue is such a serious one to them (along with the Mexican issues i guess) As you can see, i have rated this 6 out of 10.No belly laughs, but i did find myself smiling at the jokes, and whats more, I didn't need to turn it off, or fall asleep, so its better than some Hollywood blockbusters I have seen recently (Rise of the Silver Surfer as one example).
That means it pleased only 3 percent of all the reviewers (critics would be a pretentious job description for most of these folks) who wrote it up.If you read the reviewsa proposition far more tedious than the film they seem to hateyou'll see why there's nearly universal disdain for the flick: (1) a premise based on military reservists going to fight in Iraq (see Bush Derangement Syndrome), (2) jokes predicated on homosexual panic (the despised "homophobia"), and (3) "idiot racist humor," e.g., "I hear them carpet fliers don't wipe their butts." Well!
They said the same things (with a bit less vitriolafter all, the premise didn't arise from the hated Iraq campaign, did it?) about Larry the Cable Guy's last movie.
I'm sure our troops are sleeping better at night in Iraq because Larry the Cable Guy made a movie depicting US soldiers as too stupid to know the difference between Iraq and Mexico.This whole movie is offensive and there is no way around it.
Next time someone tells me that delta farce was a good movie I will spit in their face..
There are so many funny lines and quips in this movie that we had to keep pausing to finish laughing.Just watch the movie, if you enjoy silly lame comedy.
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.
As for who took Foxworthy's part, I assume that was D.J. Qualls...a super-skinny guy who I cannot remember having seen in films before this one.If you can believe it, 260 pound and 44 year-old Larry the Cable guy, 50 year-old Bill Engvall and D.J. Qualls (who appears less athletic and muscular than Wally Cox) are ALL supposed to be in the Army Reserves.
My attitude is that it's a brainless and occasionally funny time-passer....I just wish Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy had opted out of appearing in this one, as they were the worst thing about the film.
Larry was, quite simply, Larry (I think that is pretty self-explanatory) and as for Engvall he generally acts like he's nearly comatose during most of the film.*Their reserve station was in Georgia...how they had to fly over Mexico to get to Iraq is beyond me!!.
"Delta Farce" is a Blue Collar Comedy movie about the war in Iraq, but actually being set in Mexico.
You'll see what I mean in a minute.The film stars two of the Blu Collar Comedy actors, Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall playing Larry and Bill, and a non member of the group, DJ Qualls who plays Everett Shackleford.
Larry is determined to continue the job in Mexico until Carlos Santana (Danny Trejo) the dictator is with thrown.This movie is full of slapstick and fart jokes throughout.
So this one is passable.Starring: Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy, DJ Qualls, Marisol Nichols, and Danny Trejo.
I enjoyed Larry The Cable Guy's previous film, HEALTH INSPECTOR.
Larry, Bill, PLEASE stick with stand-up comedy and address the meaning of life from your Redneck point of view, that's more funny.But I guess everyone must have a bad day in his career and unfortunately, it was Larry and Bill's turn.
Like I said , this movie is satisfactory in the funny department, and even if it don't cause you to have roars of laughter, it will give you enough chuckles to make it worth watching..
"If you read the reviewsa proposition far more tedious than the film they seem to hateyou'll see why there's nearly universal disdain for the flick: (1) a premise based on military reservists going to fight in Iraq (see Bush Derangement Syndrome), (2) jokes predicated on homosexual panic (the despised "homophobia"), and (3) "idiot racist humor," e.g., "I hear them carpet fliers don't wipe their butts.""Wow, most people don't find gay and fart jokes funny beyond imagining!
I ignored the warnings of IMDb and the bottom 100, and decided to actually give a "Larry the Cable Guy" movie a shot.
It's just Larry the Cable Guy, Dj Quails, and 2 other actors doing a 4 man comedy show, who happen to be in the military and in Mexico.
I 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..
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.
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.
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.
I can at least say this is the worst or at least 2nd worst Larry the cable guy film I have seen
It was dumb enough to keep me somewhat interested and the Sgt was fine which says a lot for movies like this so it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be..
Why anyone would go into a movie with Larry the Cable Guy thinking they are going to see a sophisticated Shakespearian play is way stupider than those who enjoy this kind of humor.
Next time, pay attention to who is in a movie and its title before you subject yourself to all the angst you suffered for watching a very funny, if lowbrow, comedy..
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").
The blue collar Larry the cable guy isn't funny and just tries to make the audience laugh by making himself look stupid with his retarded squad.
First 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.
(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 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.
If it were a movie done by the Wayans Brothers or David Zucker and it didn't star Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall or D.J. Qualls, it might have had some kind of chance.Delta Farce is one of those kinds of films that tries to make fun of a lot of movies where the military branch of the world needs a little mockery, since it's such a serious profession to work in.
This kind of recipe has been seen before: Take a couple of bumbling friends (Qualls, Engvall and Larry) give them some kind of crisis with their lives, and have them put into a situation where bumbling around actually means your doing a good job.This has been seen before in much better movies, and trust me, those movies are a hell of a lot better than what you could see in this movie.What could have made this movie funny is that these three friends are stuck in Mexico, but they haven't got a clue, they just assume the people living in the village are Iraqis.
Danny Trejo is a poor villain known as Carlos Santana (Not the singer, Carlos repeats) whose annoyance is that he's given many opportunities to shoot people, and he talks about it.There's also a very horrible slam to homosexuals that just disgusted me (He's gay, flamboyant and Hispanic, and no, I'm not against any of the three, it's just insulting to mock in distaste) and Keith David in this movie as the only real normal thinking man is rarely seen, probably to avoid being seen in this movie as much as possible.For someone else, this might actually be funny to someone.
Yes, I will place this film on a pedestal so high that movies like The Godfather, Citizen Kane and Gone With The Wind will suffer nosebleeds when gazing upward at it.Larry The Cable Guy's name should be engraved upon every best-actor Oscar given from now until the end of time.DJ Qualls should be the next Terminator should that movie line ever be expanded on.
This movie was so funny with Larry The Cable Guy, and I think that the plot is great.
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!
Delta Farce is another Larry the Cable Guy comedy in which he plays a down on his luck guy who becomes an Army member along with his two friends.
Larry the Cable Guy is the funniest by some of the scenes and Engvall throws in some giggles, but this really isn't worth checking out for a normal comedy fan.
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.
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.
I like Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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..
I laughed a lot through the movie and I wasn't expecting a top rate movie, but it was funny in parts.
Still these idiots defend a village in a country they should have left right away and go to rescue their sergeant (technically an act of war) and then stand to defend the village again against Carlos Santana and his men on horseback and a US Army Surplus Sherman Tank (which would unable to fire as Surplus military weapons are always rendered to a non-firing state before sale).Despite the amount of rounds that are fired during the battle against the tank in the village no-one is either hurt or killed (You'd expect the Sgt to at least have killed a few at such close range).The film ends as badly as it began with things working out well for everyone apart from those who wasted their time watching it.I had no idea who Larry The Cable Guy was before I watched this and I still have no idea who he is and don't want to know either.
The Larry the Cable Guy military service comedy "Delta Farce" (** out of ****) ranks as a lowbrow, redneck version of the 1981 Bill Murray classic "Stripes" with a dose of "The Magnificent Seven" tossed into this PG-13 potboiler.
As amusing as Larry the Cable Guy, his "Blue Collar Comedy" cohort Bill Engvall, and Pinocchio-like D.
Good casting, sympathetic heroes, an occasionally funny joke, and Trejo's surprising comic turn as a bandit don't 'Git-R-Done' as Larry the Cable Guy likes to say.
They put Larry the cable guy in a US army based comedy.
I gave it a 3 because it isn't the worst movie I've ever seen, but it was pretty bad.
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..
