The only person I know in this film is the guy playing the black sergeant, the guy playing Everitt I have seen before in other stuff and he's always a geek or an idiot so this role was no stretch to him.
I don't know if this is supposed to be a comedy (it's not funny at all) and there are so many mistakes that should really derail the plot.
Right from the moment where the 3 guys are easily able to get into the truck (there should be a member of the aircrew there keeping watch, to loading the truck on the ground (they put on camouflage flack jackets when they should be desert pattern). one of the 1st 2 guys they meet says Americanos, none of them have ever heard Spanish?
In the village when they are at the party the guy who speaks English actually tells Mike he is in Mexico (Mike interrupts him as he is speaking but it is clearly said in English, he must have been deaf to not hear him).
The mayor and his daughter are both called Garcia, not a common name in Baghdad. Also they are served beer, a big no-no under Muslim law.
Obviously they do finally realise their in Mexico (this is when they should decide to return to the US and find the first Army base and explain what happened in hope of getting off lightly) but they decide to stay until someone comes to get them. Can you say Deserter? AWOL? Still these idiots defend a village in a country they should have left right away and go to rescue their sergeant (technically an act of war) and then stand to defend the village again against Carlos Santana and his men on horseback and a US Army Surplus Sherman Tank (which would unable to fire as Surplus military weapons are always rendered to a non-firing state before sale).
Despite the amount of rounds that are fired during the battle against the tank in the village no-one is either hurt or killed (You'd expect the Sgt to at least have killed a few at such close range).
The film ends as badly as it began with things working out well for everyone apart from those who wasted their time watching it.
I had no idea who Larry The Cable Guy was before I watched this and I still have no idea who he is and don't want to know either. Spare me from his future projects.
