I mean Southern California, or New York CITY, or in general smugness from city-douchebags, like FAMILY GUY writers, who want to believe the south, or rednecks in general, is DELIVERENCE and DUKES OF HAZZARD. For all they know, they think rednecks in and out of the south eat Soupbeans and Cornbread everyday. Please specify then. Apologies.

No worries. I just hate when Cali is stereotyped.

Fair enough, though I guess its the fault of the media..........like say Fox News.......who make out California to be San Francisco, Hollywood, and everything else that's "weird & wrong" with this country. Odd since Reagan, their Wrestling God, was Governor.

Yeah, Engvall on his own is actually a pretty decent comedian. Agreed. I will admit to watching 3/4 of the BLUE COLLAR COMEDY films (that missing 1/4 would be Larry). Engvall does do more than "here's your sign" He has a great bit about accidently taking his son to one of those "erotic" dinners

I wonder if Dan ever breaks character? At least wrestlers have a real life. I bet this guy stays in character after going home. He just seems like more than a fake to me.

I like the Cracker from TN bit...cause DJ Qualls is from TN. He used to come in Hickory Hollow mall in Hickory Hollow when i worked there. As for larry the cable guy, if there were one catch phrase that i could go back in time, and get rid of completely, it would be getrdone.

BROOKS.

So Dane Cook is actually OK as a dramatic actor, he just sucks in the comedies designed for his "character" (Good Luck Chuck, Employee of the Month)? I'm sort of curious to see Mr. Brooks just so I could see what a "straight" Dane Cook performance looks like.

I'm sort of curious to see Mr. Brooks just so I could see what a "straight" Dane Cook performance looks like. Yup. I must warn you about MR. BROOKS, as I wrote in my review.... Costner's scenes with his family, his alter ego William Hurt, and Dane Cook, is strangely compelling and Costner worrying that his gene of sadism may have been passed on.... But everything else with Demi Moore is a god awful DTV action movie. To put it another way: Costner's Story - **** Demi Moore's Story - *1/2 Average: **1/2

I never saw this movie, and not being a redneck, I don't intend to.

I like Qualls, which is why I hope I softly made clear that I didn't have a problem with him, just his character. Then again, he was fun in ROAD TRIP, so its just a gig that went south...literally. As for larry the cable guy, if there were one catch phrase that i could go back in time, and get rid of completely, it would be getrdone. Sir, get it done.

Soul Plane 2, rra. They go to see Soul Plane 2, featuring 50 Cent and his catch phrase. At least you can always say "at least we aren't West Virginia". Kentucky isn't a picnic either, but WV? AYE YIE YIE! That's something every southern state does, the old "at least we aren't (insert southern state here)" line. Except for the fact that I love North Carolina and am proud to be from here. ;D

Thanks to rra for taking a crowbar to this stinkbomb! Watch Three Amigos or Stripes instead. Hell, Red Zone Cuba is funnier (for all the wrong reasons, but still). Just one bit of trivia I'd like to point out: Larry the Cable Guy is not really from the South; his accent is just an act. He's really from somewhere in the Midwest (can't remember exactly where). Oh great, I hate that jackass EVEN more. His real name is Dan Whitney.

That's something every southern state does, the old "at least we aren't (insert southern state here)" line. Even people in Mississippi and West Virginia, the two usual punchlines for the rest of the South, claim some other state is the retard of the bunch. Q: What's the best decade in a West Virginian's life? A: Third Grade I would like to say that everything you hear about mississippi is about North Mississippi. We're civilized here on the coast...we have casinos.
