Reviews Counted:41

Fresh:1

Rotten:40

Average Rating:2.6/10

Consensus: Too afraid to be a real satire of the Iraq War, Delta Farce instead devolves into a reprehensible, unfunny mix of slapstick, gay panic, and flatulence jokes.

Rated: PG-13 [See Full Rating] for crude and sexual humor

Runtime: 90 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:2007

Box Office: $8,074,933

Synopsis: Blue Collar Comedy Tour veterans Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall team up in DELTA FARCE, a military-spoof comedy featuring their southern red-neck stand-up schtick. Bill and Larry, along with... Blue Collar Comedy Tour veterans Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall team up in DELTA FARCE, a military-spoof comedy featuring their southern red-neck stand-up schtick. Bill and Larry, along with their scrawny friend Everett (played by DJ Qualls), are weekend warriors in the Army reserves. Not only have they not trained, but they see the weekend as a getaway from the pressures of their daily lives. But with the military's forces depleted by the no-end-in-sight Iraq War, they turn to their reservists. Bill, Larry, and Everett are thrown into whirlwind boot-camp sessions, led by the commanding powerhouse Sgt. Kilgore (Keith David), to prepare for their upcoming deployment to Iraq. On their overnight flight to the Middle East, a thunderstorm threatens the cargo carrier, and equipment fitted with parachutes is dumped to lighten the load. Unfortunately, this includes the three bumbling friends, who sought refuge in an all-terrain vehicle to catch up on some sleep. They wake up in the desert, confused and disoriented, and assume they've reached the mission destination. But it turns out they aren't anywhere near Iraq--they've landed in Mexico, where they stumble upon a small village that has been overrun and terrorized by gun-wielding gangsters. DELTA FARCE is one of the few war films to be released as the Iraq War is in full swing, and it takes a daringly comedic approach. The starring cast members never abandon the style they've become famous for, providing an abundance of silliness and the usual slapstick antics throughout. [More]

Delta is likable, though, and both David and Trejo class up the act with their distinct comedic gifts.

If you're hungry for comical interpretations of an errant war, may I suggest any episode of M*A*S*H –- or, indeed, any episode of Fox News.

One of those movies that's great until the movie starts.

That the second half of Delta Farce is a half-assed rip-off of the vastly superior Three Amigos is only one sign the Blue Collar boys have, to borrow one of the film’s few funny lines, “more problems than a Cub Scout at Neverland Ranch.”

A motion picture so awfully annoying, I couldn't even find a reason to recommend it to my dead dog Corky.

With Delta Farce, his second movie vehicle, the Southern-fried comedian Larry the Cable Guy takes ever greater risks to advance his career.

While I could say the quality of Larry's feature film work has improved, that isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for the picture. It's like saying drowning is more welcome than being set on fire.

Larry the Cable Guy makes the men and women of the armed forces wait until the tail-end of his Iraq war comedy, Delta Farce, to learn that the movie is dedicated to them. Haven't they been through enough?

The liveliest battle in this atrocious service comedy is fighting the urge to leave midway through.

An almost inconceivably bad movie, i.e., it is so bad that it is hard to conceive how someone could have conceived it.

The only farcical aspect of it is that it was greenlit in the first place.

...a surefire reassurance that war is indeed hell...another prime example of ingenuity involving a box of crayons and someone's desperate idea for quick-witted lunacy.

Forgetting the poor taste inherent in creating an inane military comedy like this one while American soldiers are still dying overseas, Delta Farce isn't funny enough to justify its existence.

A romantic flicker between the dumpy Larry and a pretty local senorita defies all logic -- even in a movie this illogical.

This is a movie where the villains are the comic relief for the comedians, and where the outtakes at the end are better than the film.

Whatever your pet sensitivity -- the military, rednecks, gays, Mexicans -- this movie is an equal-opportunity denigrator.

Yes, a dumb premise, but enough to raise a smile when someone describes it to you. However, I'm here to say describing it and enduring it are two entirely different things.

By the time Larry wonders if they've "mixed up our longitudes and our latitudes, our stalactites and our stalagmites," I think I could hear my brain cells screaming in agony.

It's not just stupid, it's offensive.

Cracks about turbans, "carpet flyers," "Turds" and "Shit-ites" aren't funny enough to even qualify as jokes and it's all too stupid to be offensive to anyone but the most sensitive viewer.
