Total Waste

Of all the Blue Collar Comedy actors, Larry The Cable Guy was never one of my favorites, but hey...I figured i'd give this movie a chance since I need a good laugh every now and then. Lets just say that this movie did not enhance my view of him. I wasn't expecting this to be an intellectual film or anything like that. While it did have a few funny parts, I spent most of the time in the theater teetering between pure boredom and annoyance. Unless you enjoy root canals, spinal taps, or anal probes I would avoid this one at all costs. If you need a good laugh I would implore you to rent something like Bringing Down The House or 40 Year Old Virgin. At least it doesn't cost as much and you will actually enjoy what you pay for.
