I fear Larry the Cable Guy might be going all intellectual on us. His new film, "Delta Farce," only has one fart joke in
it. Doesn't he know his fanbase would rather hear what comes out of his butt than what comes out of his mouth? "Delta Farce" is an almost inconceivably bad movie, i.e., it is so bad that it is hard to conceive how someone could have conceived it. Directed by "Blue Collar Comedy" collaborator C.B. Harding and written by Bear Aderhold and Tom Sullivan (the first credit for each), the movie is even worse than you'd expect a movie to be when it's been directed by someone named "C.B." and written by someone named "Bear." It is feature-length, and it follows a plot, yet its main characters -- three idiot Army reservists who defend a Mexican village thinking it's Iraq -- are not characters at all, but joke-telling machines with no consistent personality traits. They can be either clever or stupid, according to the demands of the joke; they might be lazy one minute and hard-working the next; bigoted for one joke and open-minded for another. They're savvy enough to make references to Siegfried and Roy, Michael Jackson, and other cultural icons, yet they think the warring factions in Iraq are called Turds and Shitites. They can intelligently tell a war-torn village that they want to "help restore your infrastructure," yet they can also bury someone alive because they never bothered to check his pulse.
