Average Rating:2.4/10

Consensus: An aggressively lowbrow vehicle for its titular star, this gross-out comedy fails to "git-r-done."

Runtime: 90 mins

Genre: Comedies

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]

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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