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]

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.

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

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.

If the movie's witless, it's also pretty harmless.

Poor Joe Pantoliano, Kid Rock, and Joanna Cassidy get mixed up in the flatulence.

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

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.

It's a free-for-all in comedy's gutter, a 'bad' movie that still manages to keep you giggling convulsively, even though you know you shouldn't.

It's not a movie; it's a cause for dismay.

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.

That's how awful this picture is. It can't even come up with new diarrhea jokes.

Somewhere in this film is the germ of a really good comedy, but they blew it.

Toilet humor, jokes about paraplegics and serious overacting make this lowbrow comedy an irritating watch.

Envision what food poisoning does to a gastrointestinal tract. Now think of that substance as fodder for the lowest aiming standup act in America.

(an) 85-minute tribute to flatulence, vomiting and the ample rump of its star. ...'Wake up and smell the catbox,' Larry declares... Buy a ticket to 'Health Inspector,' and you'll know exactly what he means.
