Qualls. Larry (the Cable Guy) has lost his job and his woman in the short span of 24 hours. Convinced that some suds and target shooting are just the right remedies for a broken, jobless heart, Larry sets out with his next-door neighbor Bill (Engvall) and their trigger-happy pal Everett (Qualls) in order to blast off some rounds and down some brews. Their relaxing weekend soon takes an unexpected turn, however, when hard-case Army sergeant Kilgrove (Keith David) mistakes the trio as slacking Army reservists and loads them in a plane bound for Fallujah. Subsequently air-dropped over Mexico due to pilot error, the clueless, wannabe war heroes become convinced that they're actually in the Middle East and set out to save a rural village from what they assume to be an insurgent uprising. Though the thankful locals champion the noble but dimwitted trio for their heroism, the celebration is short-lived as ruthless warlord Carlos Santana (Danny Trejo) pays a personal visit to the town with a plan to confront the fearless warriors who dared to challenge his iron-fist rule. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Delta Farce has got to be the most awful, shallow, poorly constructed comedy film ever made. This is a film that makes every Pauly Shore film look like classics by comparison. You know right from the start that the cast for this horrid train wreck will not be good when you have L... read morearry The Cable Guy, a comedian who's become so unfunny, so quickly that people now realize how primitive his style of comedy was. With Delta Farce, the filmmakers basically took, Larry The Cable Guy's one trick comedy routine and made an hour and a half long minute out of it. Truly original. Sounds like something that Pauly Shore did with every one of his films, at least no matter how bad the films were; he did manage to give me a few chuckles. But with Larry The Cable Guy, he's just too painful to watch on screen. I don't like his work, and I think he should retire from the comedy business. The guy was maybe funny for a year or so, but now he's yet another pointless comedian. Delta Farce is a painful comedy that is so poorly written and acted that you wonder how this trash could be green lit and shown in theatres. Oh well, they'll market anything to make a quick buck.

    So is sooo bad, really poor. I swear its a complete waste of time and money. It looks cheap, its not in the least bit funny, the cast is d-list if that and the story is ripped from 'The Three Amigo's' how the hell they got Keith David and Danny Trejo is beyond belief, they must h... read moreave been bored.

    This movie got some bad reviews, personally I did not mind it.

    I thought the storyline was great. The idea that these guys thought they were in Iraq when they were really in mexico really cracked me up. Unfortunatley when they found out they really were in mexico and actually ... read morehad a real problem on there hands it just seemed like a war movie with a bunch of bad acting.

    This movie is fun and had a great idea going for it but it should of kept to the guys simply thinking they were in Iraq the entire time and finishing the entire mission by pure mistake. The movie suffers from writing. The actors themselves was pretty good.

    For many this movie will be either be pass or fail. For me, it's a C. If I was in the right mood I could enjoy it but it's not something I will buy or watch many times.

    Hilarious! Danny Trejo was brilliant. It's good to see Marisol Nichols in a movie again.

    Obviously dumb, but actually pretty funny! Larry & Bill are a good team and the addition of D.J. Qualls makes the trio a hilarious group!!! Maria is played by a very attractive actress! The main bad guy (Carlos Santana - lol) adds another funny (and dumb) element to this movie... read more. Basically, they are State Military Police Reserves and they get called to active duty for Iraq, lol. They accidentally get dumped in Mexico City and they think it's Iraq for half of the movie, lol. Pretty funny stuff!

Here's a sobering thought: If every war gets the comedy it deserves, could Delta Farce, a strenuously unfunny Three Amigos knockoff, be our M*A*S*H? Full Review

Peter Hartlaub

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

A mindless comedy where the blatant racial stereotypes are outnumbered only by the flatulence jokes. Full Review

Andy Webster

Andy Webster, New York Times

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

Kyle Smith

Kyle Smith, New York Post

There are henpecked-husband jokes, gay jokes, turd humor, mispronounced Iraq war terms, guys asking "Who farted?" and lots more Crackel Barrel comedy. Full Review

Jack Mathews

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News

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. Full Review

Colin Covert

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

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

Ty Burr
May 14, 2007
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

It's dopey Army comedy in the tradition of Buck Privates and Stripes, just with the sights aimed lower and blissfully unaware of its own monumental tastelessness. Full Review

Frank Scheck

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

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.

John Anderson

John Anderson, Variety

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

Roger Moore

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

The story: Georgia 'weekend warriors' are shipped off to Iraq and somehow, between Georgia and Fallujah, the plane taking them dumps them into Mexico. No, the screenwriter didn't know how to read a map. Full Review
