Synopsis

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.

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
DubyaHan The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
anthon-six After reading the comments for this movie, I thought it would be bad.But I was wrong, this movie is funny, really really funny. Cool casts and really nice and sharp jokes. There are not many comedies that have made me laugh, but this was one of those who pulled it off. The first 15 minutes or so were a little slow, but after that it gets a lot better. This movie wasn't some wannabé comedy, that want's to be funny, this movie was funny.I give this movie a 7, for what it is - a funny entertaining movie.Peace
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.
jts0405 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. Bill Engvall, who has his own sitcom on TBS, participates in this as well and it all really turns out to be just a weak comedy. The whole plot is kind of dead, but it is kind of funny and does deliver a decent amount of laugh spots. 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. There are so many other comedies that have been made that are so much better than this movie.
Anthony I read a lot of user comments and ratings on IMDb and have for a long time. I have never before written one, but after reading some positive comments for this movie, I felt compelled to register just to comment on this movie. This movie is the downfall of Western Civilization. The plot by itself should make you want to die a slow death: soldiers think they are going to Iraq but end up in Mexico instead. Someone said that this somehow supports our troops? 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. I'm not an easily offended person either. There is no way that anyone with a brain and a conscience could actually enjoy this movie. The official slogan is "War isn't funny..... but the movie is!". This movie, combined with the fact that there actually people who gave this movie a good rating, is the reason why everyone else hates America.
