Pitch Larry the Cable Guy Movie Ideas

Recommended Posts

"White Lightning."

 

As most of you know, the title “White Lightning” refers to bootleg liquor, and like its legal lesser proof cousins, most of the “best stuff” comes from the South. Larry the Cable Guy plays Gator McClusky, a man doing time for ‘running’ illegal liquor. He’s offered a deal to be released early from prison if he’ll work with the Feds to infiltrate the rum-runners in Bogen County, AR.

 

Gator accepts the deal, not so much to bring down the moonshiners but to exact revenge on the corrupt Sheriff who’s responsible for killing his younger brother. Bobby McClusky wasn’t part of the family moonshine, seeking a college degree instead. He was senselessly killed due to the local law’s prejudice against “no good activist hippies”.

 

Will Gator get his revenge against the corrupt sheriff? Will there be lots of great car chases? Will Larry make you smile with his trademark laugh? I think you can answer all of these questions without seeing the movie.

 

Like Paul Newman, Larry the Cable Guy's best movies are the ones where he plays the anti-hero we can’t help but to root for. He brings an easy charm to the role, but if you notice he can hold his own just doing straight drama. “White Lightning” will have some classic Larry the Cable Guy wisecracks, but the overall tone is serious. It has a lot more in common with “Delta Farce” than “Witless Protection” in that regard.

 

It doesn’t hurt that Larry is surrounded by a strong supporting cast. Bill Engvall is the connection the Feds provide him with, but is reluctant to help for obvious reasons. Ashton Kutcher plays Dude, the county’s leading moonshine runner, and he has an easy, brassy charm similar to Larry's.

In a wacky coincidence, Larry The Cable Guy finds himself working in an abortion clinic. The movie will be called "The Unlikely Plumber."
