Delta Farce Reviews
Is it funny? Not really. All of its subversive potential is wasted on [director] Harding, and even the straight-ahead farce is joyless.

If ribbing the U.S. armed forces was considered unpatriotic after 9/11, then Delta Farce proves that discussion of the Iraq War has now officially jumped the shark.
| Original Score: 1/5 | May 19, 2007
Here's a sobering thought: If every war gets the comedy it deserves, could Delta Farce, a strenuously unfunny Three Amigos knockoff, be our M*A*S*H?
| Original Score: D- | May 16, 2007
As morale boosters go, Larry the Cable Guy is no Bob Hope, and it's hard to reconcile the contradiction of an overtly tasteless movie that doesn't want to offend the troops.
| Original Score: 1/5 | May 15, 2007
Like Paths Of Glory, Apocalypse Now, and Platoon, Delta Farce is a difficult, harrowing work offering little relief or humor. Unlike those movies, though, Delta Farce is supposed to be funny.
| Original Score: D- | May 15, 2007
A mindless comedy where the blatant racial stereotypes are outnumbered only by the flatulence jokes.
| Original Score: 1/4 | May 14, 2007
Among the many minorities mocked are Muslims, but perhaps the people most insulted are white Southerners, who presumably are expected to embrace one whopping brain-dead metaphor.

There are henpecked-husband jokes, gay jokes, turd humor, mispronounced Iraq war terms, guys asking "Who farted?" and lots more Crackel Barrel comedy.
| Original Score: 1/4 | May 14, 2007
This is a movie where the villains are the comic relief for the comedians, and where the outtakes at the end are better than the film.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 14, 2007
It's dopey Army comedy in the tradition of Buck Privates and Stripes, just with the sights aimed lower and blissfully unaware of its own monumental tastelessness.
| Original Score: 1/4 | May 14, 2007
Forgetting the poor taste inherent in creating an inane military comedy like this one while American soldiers are still dying overseas, Delta Farce isn't funny enough to justify its existence.
Full Review | May 14, 2007
A positively neutered affair, unlikely to offend...or thrill...virtually anyone.
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 13, 2007
Delta is likable, though, and both David and Trejo class up the act with their distinct comedic gifts.

Even a blind pig digs up the occasional acorn, as the saying goes, and Delta Farce hits a squirrel's banquet in the casting of Danny Trejo as town villain Carlos Santana (cue rock guitarist jokes).
| Original Score: 2/4 | May 11, 2007
If you're hungry for comical interpretations of an errant war, may I suggest any episode of M*A*S*H -- or, indeed, any episode of Fox News.
