Doing their duty
By STEVE PERSALL
Published May 10, 2007
Jeff Foxworthy is busy proving nobody's smarter than a fifth-grader. Ron White is taking his 'tater salad routine on the road. Their Blue Collar Comedy Tour pals Larry the Cable Guy and Bill Engvall are going to war in Delta Farce (PG-13), trying to find something funny about U.S. military operations outside our borders. Part of the joke is that their characters think they've been assigned to duty in Iraq after being accidentally dropped from a transport plane. Larry and Bill - don't confuse their fans with fictitious names - soon realize they're in Mexico and things aren't peaceful there, either. A small village needs protection from corrupt Federales. Before you can say "mission accomplished," the redneck beer buddies are playing Zorro with automatic weapons to "Git 'R Done." Delta Farce may be just what America needs as the war in Iraq gets more depressing. Then again, maybe it isn't. Only this weekend's box office take will provide the answer. Lions Gate Films didn't provide advance screenings of Delta Farce for critical review.
