It's all greasy spoons and low-rent ethnic eateries in the world of seasoned big-city health inspector Larry (Larry the Cable Guy), and that's just the way he likes it. After begrudgingly accepting the task of training by-the-books trainee Amy (Iris Bahr), Larry lands the biggest case of his career when a group of high-class diners fall ill following a particularly pricey meal. Though the gruff but lovable health inspector soon loses his job as a direct result of his questionable manners, he soon wins the heart of a shy waitress while attempting to go undercover to crack the case and ensure that the conspirators who engineered the poisonous plan are brought to justice. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector is a stupid, pointless comedy that features some very mediocre humor. The cast here are all terrible, and there's not a lot going on in this film. In fact, there's nothing interesting going on whatsoever on screen. This is a stupid, pointless... read more film that should've never been made. Those involved should ashamed to have participated in such a train wreck of a film. This is a poorly made comedy film that relies on 10 year old style humor to "create" its "hilarious" material. Unfortunately for most viewers, fart jokes are a thing of the past. Every one involved is terrible in their roles, and this film really scraps the bottom of the barrel of comedic ideas. Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector is probably the worst comedy film since Biodome and Jury Duty. A pointless and failed attempt at making an audience laugh. The crude humor displayed on screen is unpleasant and unfunny. Saying that this film sucks is not enough to describe this inane and awful comedy. I hated this film, and thought it one of the worst comedies you can watch. Avoid.

    Meh.

    Let me start off by saying that Larry The Cable Guy is my favorite comedian - nobody is funnier more often than he is. This movie's rather hit or miss though. It has its hilarious parts that'll have you laughing so hard you wake the neighbors (like when he all of a sudden has the... read more runs and seems to ride the potty), but also many rather corny/unfunny parts. Overall average, hit or miss. I can't imagine Larry being a State employee though, or government.

    I found it just a horrible movie. Stupid, not funny, lousy acting. Skip it.

    Good modern day comedy. Didnt take it over board like some, and had a semi-good plot.
    Get-r-done!

    Not funny, poor plot, stupid lead actor.

    This is somewhat of a guilty pleasure of mine, but then again, it's not.

    PLOT:Larry (Larry the Cable Guy) is a health inspector. He always ends up screwing up or breaking a rule, making his hot-headed boss Tatlock (Tom Wilson) furious. This time he's partnered with the formal, s... read moreocially-awkward Amy Butlin (Iris Bahr) on a case where all the big name restaurants are being poisoned majorly before the big cooking contest. Will they get to the bottom of this without getting kicked off the health biz? Will Larry juggle it all with trying to woo his new girlfriend, Jane (Megyn Price)? I'll leave you there. The plot is an interesting idea, but executed to absolute silliness and absurdity.

    ACTING:The acting was pretty bad. Larry did his traditional redneck comedy style so I can't really say anything to that. Every performance was horrible, especially Tom Wilson as Tatlock, Iris Bahr as Butlin, and Lisa Lampinelli as Jane's Mom.

    SCORE:Nothing to see here. The only thing it has is a funny theme song by Montgomery Gentry and then filler score.

    OTHER CONTENT:Now, most have given this movie a lower score than I have. Did I decide to be generous? No. The movie has some little high points to it. There are some jokes that Larry delivers that are pretty funny and not as juvenile as his usual stuff. Plus, I'm a pretty big fan of Larry the Cable Guy. Though his jokes are idiotic, juvenile, and redneck-oriented, I find them quite funny at times. I appreciate some of the following he has. On the darker side, the lesser jokes and ideas were juvenile, stupid, and just plain disturbing at times. This is definitely for the mindless Comedy Central viewer who only watches bad stand-up.

    OVERALL,a sucky comedy with an absurdly executed plot, bad acting all over, unimportant score, and juvenile jokes, but some of the jokes weren't half bad and I am a fan of Larry the Cable Guy.

    Some of the things this goober says is funny, but in reality, Larry is turning into a present day Jim Varney (i.e. a dumb idiot whom audiences love).

    i was so dissapointed when i saw this move. i just wish he would have used new jokes instead of the same one liners he always uses in his stand up comedy's.

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

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. Full Review

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. Full Review

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

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. Full Review
