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?

With Delta Farce, his second movie vehicle, the Southern-fried comedian Larry the Cable Guy takes ever greater risks to advance his career.

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.

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.

The liveliest battle in this atrocious service comedy is fighting the urge to leave midway through.

Delta is likable, though, and both David and Trejo class up the act with their distinct comedic gifts.

There are henpecked-husband jokes, gay jokes, turd humor, mispronounced Iraq war terms, guys asking "Who farted?" and lots more Crackel Barrel comedy.

The story: Georgia 'weekend warriors' are shipped off to Iraq and somehow, between Georgia and Fallujah, the plane taking them dumps them into Mexico. No, the screenwriter didn't know how to read a map.

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).

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.

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.

What it really boils down to is whether you're a fan of Larry the Cable Guy. If so, you'll (I would hope) realize you're watching a pretty stupid comedy but will laugh in the appropriate parts.

Whatever your pet sensitivity -- the military, rednecks, gays, Mexicans -- this movie is an equal-opportunity denigrator.

War in Iraq isn't funny -- neither is this movie.

The only farcical aspect of it is that it was greenlit in the first place.

It's OK to write comedies about morons%u2026as long as you don't insult the intelligence of the audience in the script.

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

...a surefire reassurance that war is indeed hell...another prime example of ingenuity involving a box of crayons and someone's desperate idea for quick-witted lunacy.

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.

A romantic flicker between the dumpy Larry and a pretty local senorita defies all logic -- even in a movie this illogical.

Perhaps best enjoyed by persons who have been lobotomized. After the first 30 minutes (I'm being generous), you may well feel like you have been.

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.

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.
