Amazon.com Delta Farce takes its cue from John Kerry's ill-advised 2006 joke to university students that they should get a good education lest they wind up in Iraq. Case in point, Larry (Larry the Cable Guy), Bill (Bill Engvall, Larry's Blue Collar Comedy costar), and Everett (D.J. Qualls, geek first class from RoadTrip), who take respite from their failed relationships, jobs, and lives in their once-a-month stint as "weekend warriors" in the Army Reserve. Delta Farce's one great inspiration was to literally drop these clueless sad sacks into Mexico instead of Fallujah. After much confusion, they become the not-so-magnificent three, helping besieged villagers fend off a gang of bandits led by the dread Carlos Santana (insert your own guitarist jokes). Delta Farce belongs to a mostly proud tradition of morale-building military misfit comedies, but it ranks closer to Ernest in the Army or Pauly Shore's In the Army Now than to Buck Privates or Stripes. Delta Farce, dedicated to "the real men and women" who are serving our country, has no political agenda. It is content to engage in name-calling ("carpet-flyers" and "turds" are two we can print here), broad slapstick, decidedly un-PC ethnic stereotypes and epithets ("retarded" is used as a punchline on several occasions), and the occasional gross-out gag (the always reliable urine-in-a-canteen bit). The usually menacing Danny Trejo (Con Air) steals the film outright (which in this case is petty theft) as the karaoke-singing Carlos. But for Larry the Cable guy fans, and those who miss the sophisticated good ol' boy humor of Smokey and the Bandit (whose theme song is to this movie what Wagner's "Flight of the Valkyries" was to Apocalypse Now), Delta Farce may just "git r done." --Donald Liebenson
Product Description Three sadsacks mistaken for Army reservists are scheduled to be shipped to Iraq, but - unbeknowst to them - are instead dropped in Mexico.
Delta FarceJuly 8, 2010 Larry R. Walls The past year i've been ordering my DVD'S online with great results as far as pricing,timely shipping and receiveing of the products i have ordered from Amazon.com including (Delta Farce on Blu-ray). I have also been ordering Blu-ray DVD'S for my brother which has decided to replace his regular DVD'S with Blu-ray DVD'S. Besides its cheaper to order online in the comforts of my home than to drive to the store and burn gas which is almost 3 dollars a gallon, deal with large crowds and long lines. I have had no issues or problems with any order i have ever placed with Amazon.com an will continue to shop on-line threw Amazon.com Thank you Larry
Its no StripesJune 25, 2010 Justin Fowler(Indianapolis, Indiana) You could tell that Delta Farce tries to be a modern day Stripes. Unfortunately it fails miserably. The story is weak and the jokes are nearly no existent. I would not recommend it.
Stupid Humor is Seldom Better Than This!February 10, 2010 CM(St. Louis, MO USA) This is not a thinking-man's (or woman's) comedy, but it still makes me laugh everytime I watch it.
funny, and more Larry for all you Larry loversAugust 17, 2009 B. E Jackson(Pennsylvania) Somewhat of a disappointment to be totally honest. I LOVE Larry the Cable Guy and I think he's one of the best stand up comedians when it comes to unpredictable and tricky jokes. Somehow though, he wasn't particularly funny on Delta Farce. Neither were most of the other characters (except that skinny guy- HE was funny).
Even though the film is a disappointment, I still really loved it because it's just an outrageous style of humor that really cracks me up. It's dumb humor, sure, but it's the kind of laughs that always immediately put me in a good mood.
I'd say Larry's previous movie was better than this one though.
The fact that the bad guy in the movie was called Carlos Santana was the funniest joke of all, haha. I'm a big Santana fan (I LOVE his album Love, Devotion and Surrender that he did with John McLaughlin back in 1972) so any time his name is mentioned makes me happy. Funny how the bad guy would say "I'm Carlos Santana!" and Larry the Cable Guy would go "The singer?" and he'd go "NO, NOT THE SINGER!" haha
The way Larry the Cable Guy and his buddies saved a Mexican town (that they thought was a town in Iraq, LOL) and the way they found water were funny segments. Much of the movie was about Larry and company saving a small Mexican town from a gang of bad guys. They'd save the town and not realize they were doing it, lol. The perfect example of quality humor in my book!
Overall, good movie. I just can't get enough of Larry the Cable Guy!
