Year: 2006
Director: Trent Cooper
Plot: A laid-back health inspector's comfortable routine receives an unwelcome shake up when he's assigned the task of training his new rookie partner and investigating the outbreak of a mysterious illness at one of the city's most posh restraints in this no-holds-barred comedy starring Blue Collar standup king Larry the Cable Guy. It's all greasy spoons and low-rent ethnic eateries in the world of seasoned big-city health inspector Larry (Larry the Cable Guy), and that's just the way he likes it. After begrudgingly accepting the task of training by-the-books trainee Amy (Iris Bahr), Larry lands the biggest case of his career when a group of high-class diners fall ill following a particularly pricey meal. Though the gruff but lovable health inspector soon loses his job as a direct result of his questionable manners, he soon wins the heart of a shy waitress while attempting to go undercover to crack the case and ensure that the conspirators who engineered the poisonous plan are brought to justice. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Body: When I wrote a review of Game Over the other day, I paid special attention to the movie's opening minutes. Watching Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector tonight, I noticed that it featured a similar opening, and I thought that it would be interesting to compare the work of Larry Carrell and Josh Drapehs, Game Over's filmmaking novices, with that of professional director Trent Cooper and star Larry the Cable Guy (Dan Whitney). It's actually Trent's first and only feature so far, but he has done a couple of prize-winning shorts and his budget was considerably larger than Larry and Josh's $2500, even if most of it went for Whitney's salary.We're talking here about the opening scene in which the hero wakes up in his bachelor digs and gets his day started. It's been done a thousand times. Game Over (GO):1:05 f-bomb #11:15 modest home, outdoor view1:20 the word "fart" 1:45 cereal and beer, mixed 2:10 actual fart 2:30 socks with holes, underpants, butt crack 3:35 stream of urine, poorly aimed 4:20 pop tart and sour milk4:21 sour milk back into fridge 4:50 cat 5:45 hearse 6:15 bird (finger, not feathered) 6:18 overweight transvestite prostitute at the corner of McFarland and Navigation in Houston8:11 f-bomb #2, bird #28:39 poop 9:47 roaches Health Inspector (HI):0:20 grappling with and dropping alarm clock1:01 butt crack1:15 stepping in pizza1:35 reusing Q-tip for ear wax1:50 stream of urine in shower. more yellow, probably due to larger budget for effects.2:08 using shirt for towel, putting shirt on2:38 sour milk back into fridge2:53 modest home, outdoor view, with retarded neighbor4:12 fly in the cafe mayo4:37 nose-wiping chef5:10 roachesWhat do we learn?1. HI is paced twice as fast as GO. Seems like a pro thing. Cut out the cat and the hearse and the cereal and beer.2. HI went with the bankable special-needs mentally challenged character rather than the in-your-face fat transvestite nymphomaniac. I was ok with either. Might work to combine them?3. HI holds back on the farts till the second ten minutes. Make 'em wait for it.4. HI wants the PG-13, so no f-bombs. GO went R in the first ten minutes, so after that they could unlease a righeous torrent of choice dialog.5. More roaches in HI, but that was just the budget talkin.6. Cooper put up Iris Bahr (aka Iris Bar-Ziv) against the cable guy. Got the country boy vs urban Jewess mojo working there. GO casting included players of many races but steered clear of ethnic humor, mostly.7. GO showed its ace in the hole, well out of the hole, which was the poop, right away. Should have held back, not showed it so soon, just have folks reel back in horror at the sight and smell, build the suspense? HI rolled with simple earwax and mucus. With the seasoned professional, it's slick entertainment. With the beginner you get the joie de vivre.
