DELTA FARCE

"Silly Comedy"

Watch:

What You Need To Know:

DELTA FARCE is a corny comedy about three weekend reservists who believe they are being sent to Iraq but accidentally get dropped in Mexico. Larry (played by Larry the Cable Guy), Bill and Everett are three military misfits that head off for weekend reserve duty only to be shipped off for immediate duty in Fallujah. En route to the Middle East, they are accidentally dropped in Mexico during a storm. The soldiers take off in their Humvee to engage the enemy. Only after they chase some bandits out of a Mexican town thinking they are terrorists do they discover they are really in Mexico.

The three main characters in DELTA FARCE are written to be very goofy, somewhat crass and modestly vulgar and obscene. The violence is corny as well, with lots of shootouts and explosions but no one killed. DELTA FARCE is a modernized three stooges movie. Regrettably, modernizing means adding bad language, bathroom jokes and homosexual humor. The basic storyline is actually kind of cute and is good for a few chuckles, but Hollywood is finding it harder and harder to fill an hour and a half with clean comedy.

More Detail:

DELTA FARCE is a corny comedy about three weekend reservists who believe they are being sent to Iraq but accidentally get dropped in Mexico. Larry (played by Larry the Cable Guy), Bill (played by Bill Engvall) and Everett (played by D. J. Qualls) are three military misfits who head off for weekend reserve duty only to find that a tough drill sergeant (Keith David) has been sent to get them in shape for immediate duty in Fallujah.

En route to the Middle East, the sergeant and his three stooges are dropped in Mexico. The sergeant appears to have died in the fall and is buried in a pile of dirt. The three soldiers take off in their Humvee to engage the enemy. Only after they chase some bandits out of a Mexican town thinking they have chased off terrorists do they discover they are in Mexico.

The humor in DELTA FARCE is a combination of slapstick, bathroom humor and cross-dressing. The three main characters are written to be very goofy, somewhat crass and modestly vulgar (no “f” words, but lots of “a” words). The violence is corny as well, with lots of shootouts and explosions but no one killed in the whole movie. Even the supposedly dead sergeant pops up out of his dirt pile and takes off after his troops.

DELTA FARCE is a modernized three stooges movie. Regrettably, modernizing means adding bad language, bathroom jokes and homosexual humor. The basic storyline is actually kind of cute and is good for a few chuckles, but Hollywood is finding it harder and harder to fill an hour and a half with clean comedy. Pixar does it well and has an amazing record of success. It would be great for audiences and box office receipts if other studios learned to take a great story, pace it properly and make it entertaining throughout without resorting to objectionable material.
