Amazon.com: The redneck rube from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour franchise plays a character much like himself in this feature, which balances Larry the Cable Guy's occasional excesses in toilet humor with strong comic performances from the supporting cast. Larry plays a dedicated health inspector who gets in over his head when the city mayor (Joe Pantoliano) personally appoints him to investigate a rash of food poisonings at five-star restaurants. Larry's ignorance of anything cultural that doesn't involve his truck or MoonPies proves a handicap, but his knowledge of vermin and disarmingly unabashed way of interviewing witnesses and suspects slowly gets him where he needs to go. For the most part, the movie gives the comedian plenty of room to indulge his gross-out shtick. But it helps to have some other talent on board, notably Tom Wilson as Larry's exasperated boss, Iris Bahr as a dreary new partner Larry thinks is a man, David Koechner as a halfwit friend, Joanna Cassidy as a restaurant owner, and Megyn Price as Larry's shy but headstrong girlfriend. --Tom Keogh
Even dumber than I thought it would be Having seen Larry the Cable Guy in concert I knew this movie would be stupid, but also expected it to be funny. It was stupider than I was prepared for and not as funny as I hoped. There is a mild attempt at a plot and a couple of humorous running gags, one involving Larry getting a female partner but because of how she dresses and wears her hair, he thinks she's a man. Some of the scenes between Larry and his boss are also very funny. And again, knowing it's Larry the Cable Guy, I expected fart and other bodily functions humor, but this movie was unrelenting. It was still making a variation of the same joke right until the end of the movie. At some point you have to move on.
Alternate view of the universe The title says it all. Larry just sees things from a bit different viewpoint, which is what makes him funny. That, and his willingness to excite our "don't do that" imperative that our mothers tried to teach us. Dad could fart and scratch his butt, but mom said that was nasty and that we weren't to do that. I think that may be the underlying cause for a bunch of the reviews this movie is receiving. Larry's doing his best to tell you that we all pee and fart and that maybe it's time to get over wishing things were different.
All that aside, I used to be a County Health Inspector. If you think this movie is made up, it's not. This stuff, and more, really happens. Larry's just acting it out. No matter how fancy the restaurant, there are things going on in the kitchen you just don't want to know about. I laughed until I hurt watching this movie. You may not.
White trash humor at it's best - not for the easily offended This movie is rude, crude, and lewd. It offends just about everyone. That's what makes it so funny.
In this politically correct society of ours, we need to let our hair down and have fun occasionally. It's ok to laugh at sophomoric jokes every once in a while. Humor is a great stress reliever. It is good for us emotionally and physically. So, lighten up and have some fun.
If you are too embarrassed or ashamed to admit that this is really funny stuff, watch it alone with the curtains shut. That way the neighbors won't know that you can't help but laugh at this movie and possibly ruin your reputation. :)
Bring TP Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector is a very funny movie if you like the comedy of Larry the Cable Guy himself. The role model of rednecks will have you chuckling from the opening scene throughout most of the movie. Very dignified viewers are sure to be turned off by the generic plot (replace a rebel cop with a rebel health inspector) and the abundance of flatulence and toilet humor. In the end, its funniness outweighs its weaknesses. Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector doesn't disappoint.
Laughs I rented the movie and now I want to buy it because I laughed through the whole thing. It is full of bathroom and redneck humor so if you are PC and a little uptight you might not like it. I found it even more amusing because I know people that are a little bit like the character Larry. I don't care for a lot of comedians these days because their humor is awkward or lame but Larry is easy going and his humor just rolls off and makes me laugh. It's been a long time since a movie has made me laugh this much so I'm looking forward to more movies by Larry. I might even start going to movies at the theater again. If you like to laugh, aren't to uptight in your humor and aren't looking for an in-depth plot....kick back and enjoy Larry.
