What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Larry is well meaning, but the film glorifies a kind of sexist and offensive mindset.
  • Violence:

    Other than the violent illnesses people get, there's nothing to worry about.
  • Sex:

    Larry talks about women's body parts and objectifies women.
  • Language:

    Larry uses a lot of profanity, including "ass" and "s--t."
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 4.0

    ok, but very rude with fart jokes in every corner

    first off, my dad did not like this at all, and now I cant get any more larry the cable guy movies :-(. There is alot of language (nothing a 12 year old has never heard. Moderate sex, not any real violence. Larry is just doing his job as a health inspector, by critisizing any health violation. He is paired with a lady professionist who at first does not like him. There is not any real commercialism, unless it persuades you to watch his other movies. I liked it overall, but my dad did not and now I cant watch LTCG movies anymore. good for 14+

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 5.0

    HILARIOUS!!!

    People, mostly critics, don't like this movie because it doesn't have a perfect plot, or Oscar winning acting. Larry the Cable Guy wasn't in this movie to win any Oscars, he was in it to make us laugh, and boy did he make me laugh. The movie was hilarious. Compared to most comedy movies today, like Jack-Ass, the language in this movie isn't that bad. There is some sexual reference but it doesn't show any thing like nudity. There is some fight scences at the end but the violence is at a minimum so its not a problem. Bottom line is... if you like Larry the Cable Guy, you will LOVE this movie.

    Really Funny!!

    This movie is a really funny movie. Its worth 4 stars not the 1 that CSM gave it. Lots of profanity and sex references may be not good for anyone under my age at 14.
