Movie review
From Time Out New York
Redneck comic Larry the Cable Guy returns to multiplexes with another hillbilly-humor fiasco, this time playing a Mississippi deputy who crosses paths with a shady FBI crew escorting a sexy crime-case witness to Chicago. Gratuitous support-our-troops iconography and post-9/11 paranoia permeate a harebrained plot featuring Enronesque white-collar crooks. People light their farts, fart in fear and pretend to fart—and one upper-crust polo player even takes a face-plant into a pile of horse shit. Git-r-done, Larry.Author: Stephen Garrett
