Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector. A "bold new vision" in comedy!
Plot Summary: Irreverent as ever, Larry The Cable Guy plays a big city health inspector who's happy with his usual beat of greasy spoon diners and low-rent ethnic restaurants. 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 bad manners, 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!'
The writing duo of Max Keeble's Big Move returns! The reviews are pouring in with praise, with the film getting 72% positive on Rotten Tomatoes.
Some quotes from reviews:
"This is serious grown-up entertainment with a sense of history and a sense of style, the kind of picture almost no one knows how to - - or, perhaps more accurately, can find the means to - - make anymore." -- Stephanie Zacharek, SALON.COM
"Director Trent Cooper captures the pathos of the modern South with unflinching veracity turning what could've been a disastrous failure into a poignant and compelling character study of the modern American." -- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"This is an unnerving mood piece that is as atmospheric as it is funny. Perhaps the most surprising new American comedy since Fear of a Black Hat." -- Jami Bernard, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
"Those who appreciate this bold new vision in comedy will find much to savor -- the procession of enchanting and spectacular images is intoxicating." -- Robert Denerstein, DENVER ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS

I'm seeing it tonight, and possibly tomorrow as well based on these positive news. Is anyone else?

Suffice it to say if everyone on a forum associates your name with big hairy man-love you got your message out. Mission accomplished!
And that's the last I'll say on the subject. I made my point. I'll not berate you with it any longer. Like I said in the other thread I'm not going to put you in the ignore list because I value your contribution otherwise.
Enjoy your weekend!

That seems like a gush.
Oh yeah, I'd watch Chairman of the Board or Collision Course before this movie.

I really don't know why they're so concerned. If someone actually finds this guy's racist, homophobic semi-literate tripe to be entertaining, no bad review will stop them.

And then the movie gets the Wagging Finger of Shame !!!

That Larry The Cable Guy is starring in a movie is going to cause that guy from Arrested Development to have a stroke.
Looks like a renter to me though.
