Realized he must be an idiot!Are United States Air Force's slogan is now Git-er done surely that has to mean something to you. I take it you do not like Ron White either? Am just wondering what it is that makes idiots like you bash on people like this do you not have a sense of humor, or cant handle a few curse words?!?! or nasty jokes then grow up or do not watch it and leave him the hell alone. He has done 5 times as much for this country and are troops then all of you put together!! As Larry would say you make about as much since as bunch of retards trying to fight Jackie Chan...JACK ASS Larry The Cable Guy is a great commedian, I was reading through this website and was just starting to think this Eric guy was pretty funny and was a neat site to check out, but then wow bashing on Larry The Cable Guy?

Who still uses the word "grody?" In fact, I had to look at it for a second before I realized that it wasn't a misspelling of another word. Obviously Larry The Cable Guy is very popular in places where it is still 1988. Dang it, stupidramblings, you posted my first reaction to the angry letters.

Eric's review explicitly took an everyday abnormality (Larry the Cable Guy) and turned it into a hysterical display of humor (the review itself). What's the problem, Jessica? As for the first letter, I concur... people NEED cute films, Eric! Didn't Pikachu's moving performance in "Pokémon: The Movie 2000" bring at least one joyous tear to your eye? Don't try telling me it didn't! The second letter perplexes me.

She sounded relatively coherent over there. I didn't actually think you were that harsh about The Holiday, since the only real negative was that it was too long. And yes, anything over two hours is probably too long, unless it's really a gripping story. I'd probably like this movie except for that. Larry the Cable Guy, though, holds no appeal for the likes of me. Just thinking about it makes me want to go take a shower. I wonder if Yasemin is the same Yasemin who posted on the movie review?

And if you're on the more cynical side, it's more hopeless to look for something that isn't there ;) "The fact that he can take everyday abnormality’s and turn them into hysterical displays of humor should be rewarded, and not patronized." Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David did that, and they got many awards; they also - one could argue - influenced almost an entire generation of new comedians. “For the cutesy, people need cute films, at least for some minutes it makes you feel life is so beautiful and could be better anytime…but you are so hopeless that you don’ wanna believe this…”
