Consensus:
Too afraid to be a real satire of the Iraq War, Delta Farce instead devolves into a reprehensible, unfunny mix of slapstick, gay panic, and flatulence jokes.

The only farcical aspect of it is that it was greenlit in the first place.

It's OK to write comedies about morons%u2026as long as you don't insult the intelligence of the audience in the script.

Is it funny? Not really. All of its subversive potential is wasted on [director] Harding, and even the straight-ahead farce is joyless.

...a surefire reassurance that war is indeed hell...another prime example of ingenuity involving a box of crayons and someone's desperate idea for quick-witted lunacy.

If ribbing the U.S. armed forces was considered unpatriotic after 9/11, then Delta Farce proves that discussion of the Iraq War has now officially jumped the shark.

A romantic flicker between the dumpy Larry and a pretty local senorita defies all logic -- even in a movie this illogical.

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?

Perhaps best enjoyed by persons who have been lobotomized. After the first 30 minutes (I'm being generous), you may well feel like you have been.

As morale boosters go, Larry the Cable Guy is no Bob Hope, and it's hard to reconcile the contradiction of an overtly tasteless movie that doesn't want to offend the troops.

Like Paths Of Glory, Apocalypse Now, and Platoon, Delta Farce is a difficult, harrowing work offering little relief or humor. Unlike those movies, though, Delta Farce is supposed to be funny.

Lord, I apologize, but Larry the Cable Guy just can't seem to get 'er done in a feature film.

Larry the Cable Guy makes the men and women of the armed forces wait until the tail-end of his Iraq war comedy, Delta Farce, to learn that the movie is dedicated to them. Haven't they been through enough?

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

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

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

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.

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

Even fans of gay-rape jokes are likely to feel burned out by the movie’s end.
