Synopsis: Sporting a cut-off flannel shirt and armed with a truckload of one-liners, Larry the Cable Guy is America's reigning king of blue-collar comedy. Now, after two #1 comedy tours (out-selling both... Sporting a cut-off flannel shirt and armed with a truckload of one-liners, Larry the Cable Guy is America's reigning king of blue-collar comedy. Now, after two #1 comedy tours (out-selling both Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock), two hit concert films, a best-selling book, two chart-topping comedy albums and a multi-platinum DVD special, Larry makes his feature film debut in the outrageous Lionsgate comedy, LARRY THE CABLE GUY: HEALTH INSPECTOR. Larry plays a big city health inspector who's happy with his usual beat of greasy spoon diners and low-rent ethnic restaurants. But his easygoing life is turned upside-down when he's saddled with a straight-arrow rookie partner (Iris Bahr) and assigned the biggest case of his career: investigating an outbreak of mysterious food poisonings at the city's swankiest restaurants. Infuriating restaurateurs with his irreverence, Larry still manages to charm a sweet, shy waitress (Megyn Price) into a budding romance. But when his unorthodox methods cost him his job, Larry has to go undercover to bring the conspirators to justice and 'Git-R-Done!' A hilarious comedy in the vein of "Something About Mary" and "Dumb and Dumber" and chock-full of Larry the Cable Guy's trademark, take-no-prisoners humor, LARRY THE CABLE GUY: HEALTH INSPECTOR marks the arrival of a new low-brow hero. The film is directed by Trent Cooper, and also stars Joanna Cassidy, Tony Hale, Tom Wilson and Joe Pantoliano. --© Lions Gate [More]

Though some of his one-liners are pretty good, his shtick can't sustain this dutifully scripted comedy.

The film is a toxic stew of stupidity that is so foul and rank that even the most forgiving fans of such corn-pone humor are liable to slink out of the theater.

Larry’s routine becomes considerably more embarrassing the longer it continues.

It's admittedly gross and poorly scripted, but amiable enough for those who enjoy dumb Southern-fried fun.

Not one gratuitous 'Git-Er-Done!' was uttered during the composition of this review.

OK, are you eating anything? Potato chips, breakfast cereal...anything at all? Please stop, if you plan on reading any further in this review of "Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector," because this movie is so revolting.

It'd be tempting to call Larry the Ernest of his generation, but that'd be a grave insult to Jim Varney's enduring legacy.

The very existence of Larry the Cable Guy would seem like a pretty good argument against the concept of Intelligent Design.

Movies like Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector may be critic-proof, but even die-hard fans of country crude will have to admit that a little Larry goes a long way.

What is surprising and worth noting, though, is the quality of talent that's sadly squandered in comedian Larry the Cable Guy's feature film debut.

Unpleasant, uncouth and painfully unfunny, Larry the Cable Guy attempts lowbrow humor with neither the wit of the Farrelly brothers nor the raunchy inventiveness of Keenen Ivory Wayans.

When lists of the 10 worst movies of 2006 start coming out, you'll know it's been a truly abominable year if Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector doesn't rate a slot near the top.
