Directed by Trent Cooper

Plot: Larry is a big city health inspector who is happy with his usual beat of greasy spoon diners and low-rent ethnic restaurants. But his easygoing life is turned upside-down when he's saddled with a straight-arrow rookie partner and assigned the biggest case of his career: investigating an outbreak of mysterious food poisonings at the city's swankiest restaurants. Infuriating restaurateurs with his bad manners, Larry still manages to charm a sweet, shy waitress into a budding romance. But when his unorthodox methods cost him his job, Larry has to go undercover to bring the conspirators to justice and "Git-R-Done!"

Review: I am a big fan of the Blue Collar stuff, the tv show and the concerts, and although I though the trailer looked funny, I didn’t have very high expectations for this film. My son wanted to see this more than I did, so I figured why not and gave it a chance.

I assumed this movie would be full of one liners and the Larry would be struggling through trying to carry his first film. To my surprise, I found the movie to be really funny. The film is in fact full of one-liners, but Larry executes them well. The movie itself is ridiculous, which is what makes it so great. The characters are all funny or interesting in their own way and work well together. There isn’t anything really special about the movie that makes it stand out, but it is really funny. If you enjoy redneck humor or lots of potty humor you will love this film.
