FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
bensonmum2 As the title implies, Larry the Cable Guy has a new job as a health inspector. Larry finds himself saddled with a partner he didn't ask for, farting, the prospect of a new relationship, more farting, a boss who wants him fired, even more farting, and a series of mysterious food poisonings at some of the city's best restaurants. Larry's a busy guy.I've seen a lot of dumb movies in my day, but Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector might just take the prize as the absolute dumbest. I think my IQ dropped a few points while I watched. The movie isn't much more than a continuous 80-something minute fart joke. The fart jokes go on and on and on. I didn't find the first one funny, so by the 50th, I was about ready to slit my wrists. Oh my God is this thing horrible! In between fart jokes, the movie finds time to offend just about every group imaginable. I'm not one that normally gets offended when watching a movie, but here, it slaps you in the face. Race, sexual orientation, handicaps, you name it - Larry treats them all with the same level of disdain and ridicule. It's bottom-of-the-barrel comedy. Still, I haven't rated the movie a 1/10 because, despite itself and my knowing better, there were a couple of moments that worked - most involving Larry's partner, Butlin. I'm shocked the makers of Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector were able to convince some of these actors to take the job. Iris Bahr (playing the previously mentioned Butlin), Megyn Price, Joe Pantoliano, and Joanna Cassidy must have all really needed the work. I'm shocked any would lower themselves to appear in this dreck. I know they were paid, but I still feel sorry for them.
Dpm12 First of all, let me just say that this film is just awful. Granted, I wasn't expecting an Oscar winner, but this film was just awful. Before I get into that, let's discuss the plot shall we? Larry (Larry th Cable Guy) is a health inspector, who's boss (Tom Wilson) hates him and assigns him a partner (Iris Bahr) to work with him. Larry and Butlin (Larry's partner) investigate the poisoning of four-star restaurants.The plot is stupid. The acting is awful (it's pretty sad when Larry the Cable Guy can act better than Arian Ash, the woman who plays the Lingerie Store Manager), the writing is atrocious, the directing is horrible. There is not one funny scene. Now, I was laughing throughout, but not because it was funny, but because it was so awful, I couldn't help but laugh. Now Tommy Boy was a stupid film, but at least it was ACTUALLY funny and you cared about the characters. You don't care about any of the pricks in this, you just want them to all get shot. There is nothing good I can say about this movie really. I used to think that Dragon Wars (2007) was the worst film I've seen, but this may actually beat that awful excuse for a movie. Avoid this at all costs. If I had to choose between being forced to watch this at gunpoint, or being shot in the head, I would choose being shot in the head. Awful. Anyone involved in this piece of s***t should be embarrassed and hide their heads in shame. They should be executed for crimes against humanity. That's all.
lastliberal There was absolutely no way that I was going to approach this film as a comedy. Anyone who dresses like Larry the Cable Guy cannot possibly be funny. Pathetic? yes, I'll give you that, but not funny.I saw that it was filmed in Orlando and it was about a Florida Health Inspector. So, I looked upon it as a documentary about checking out all those folks that sell boiled peanuts on the side of the road. Have you seen those things? People actually put them in their mouth! 89 minutes of farting, bathroom jokes, and a whole bunch of derogatory remarks about women, those with developmental disabilities, gays and lesbians, you get it. This is the same thing that you find in the small minds of people who watch NASCAR. I am sure they are the biggest fans of this movie. Not one laugh in 89 minutes.Ties with Beerfest as one of the lamest excuses for use of film stock that I have ever experienced.
xoxcaitlin_kissxox I'm a huge fan of Larry's stand up comedy. There, the vulgarity of his humor is balanced by his effortless wit and satire. In Health Inspector, this balance was completely non existent.I could rant for days on how terrible this movie was. Here's the basic problem. The humor was so vulgar and repetitive that it eventually came through as over the top, tasteless and in a word, unfunny.The other actors and actresses were completely useless as well, making a bad movie down right awful.Please don't waste your time with this movie. It will permanently sour your opinion of Larry. Please enjoy him via stand up, especially Blue Collar Comedy Tour.
