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]

The job involves an upcoming cooking contest, a sleazy mayor, a corrupt restaurateur and a supporting cast of characters so ugly, stupid and hygienically revolting that they make Larry seem almost tolerable.

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

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

I’d pay to see “Ron White: Health Inspector and his stupid sidekick Larry,” but Larry alone just cain’t “Get-er-done.”

(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.

It reeks of desperation, among other things.

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

Shoddy screenwriting devices simply pass the time for Whitney to sling hillbilly-isms at admirers of his stand-up comedy.

Whenever Larry isn't pensively biting on his chaw, he's barking out obscene one-liners in a guttural, noxious stream of little nasty explosions. He's a greasy, oil-burning joke jalopy.

It was only a matter of time before [Larry] got his own critic-proof movie.

Larry isn't an evil movie, but it is a symptom of the problems inherent in gross-out humor.

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.

Team Cable Guy has made a junky, throwaway comedy that will almost certainly appeal to his fans, for at least the first half hour. Then it runs out of gas. Or jokes. The gas Larry seems to have in no short supply.

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