Reviews
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Knewsense78 OK, rag on me if you want to but WITLESS PROTECTION is funnier than HEALTH INSPECTOR and DELTA FARCE. I'm not a big fan of Larry The Cable Guy but I do occasionally find myself laughing at his off color, backwoods redneck jokes. Though I do believe that out of all the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" comedians that Ron White is the funniest hands down. Anyway, Larry stars in this movie as a small town sheriff trying to make it big. Like FBI big. While hanging out at the local diner where his old lady works (Jenny McCarthy), Larry witnesses 4 ominous looking men dressed in black enter the diner with a blonde bombshell in tow (Ivana Milicevec). Larry, thinking that they have kidnapped the lady, follows them to the local gas station, causes a diversion and snatches the lady away from her entourage of kidnappers. But these men in black are actually FBI agents transporting the lady to Chicago, Illinois where she is the key witness in a big corruption case (think Enron). After awhile though, Larry thinks that these fellars are up to no good and actually want to do harm to the lady and not protect her. So Larry, using his small town Sheriff's intuition, decides that he will deliver the lady to Chicago himself. And mayhem ensues upon the way.OK, I will admit that there are jokes in here that I disliked in Health Inspector. Those being fart jokes. But damn, I found myself laughing more than I ever thought possible over a Larry The Cable Guy movie. One thing that I didn't quite understand was the scene where Larry's blows up his vehicle trying to make it out that the lady died in the fire. Anyway, it goes right from that scene to a scene where she is at the funeral home, in the casket, and the bad guys show up and Larry tells them that she is dead and they just accept it. Now, I really don't think that the lady's body would go right from the scene of the accident to the funeral home, all ready for public viewing. But, being that it is a Larry The Cable Guy movie, I guess I should just throw all logic right out the window. Better than Health Inspector? Yes. Better than Delta Farce? Yes. A great movie? No. But there are worse ways you could pass an hour and a half of your life.
ichocolat This film is unfunny as Hell, with insensitive low-brow jokes and slapstick humor, that not a single joke made me laugh. Larry must be some Ku Klux Klan member of the higher echelons, with his racist remarks and incredulously stupid attempts to make funny jokes.There were many jokes that was insensitive, and I would like to point out one scene where he checked into a motel owned by a middle-aged Moslem. The owner didn't accept cash and only accepted cheque as a policy to check-in. Larry threatened to call his FBI friends to round the owner up under the suspicion of sheltering terrorists and having illegal weapons. It was bad enough that the world's perspective towards Moslems were of Moslems being terrorists, making jokes about it is just unwarranted! It was an hour and a half of time wasted, and I hope that the others find other films to watch.
departed07 Oh, man did I get done watching "Witless Protection" and let me tell you what, it's a piece of crap! I don't understand why Larry The Cable Guy continues to make crappy movies that nobody cares to watch unless you're a redneck or a total idiot. God, helps us if you're up there not playing poker.I don't know where to begin.Basically in "Witless Protection" Larry the Cable Guy plays a law enforcer wannabe who's seen too many programs of "Cops" and other police shows in thinking he can be a law enforcer in which he's nothing but one big joke to the community. He ends up kidnapping a foreign babe who's an actual witness and not someone kidnapped.Larry The Cable Guy is not even cool enough to have his own sitcom or even start his pathetic movie line up of films from "Health Inspector" to "Delta Farce" and they failed more times than films that became cult classics. This film nor will any film featuring Larry the Cable Guy in live action movies will ever be classics, even when he's dead, they'll be burning in the bonfires.The Good: Nothing! The OK: Jenny McCarthy's hot body.The Not: EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS FILM SUCKS!!! Overall, I have better movies to watch. This wasn't even my fault in watching this movie, it was my dad's fault and he even fell asleep where I just walked away and did something else.
surender Forget the other Larry the Cable Guy movies - this one is really funny. There are so many sight gags and one-liners I lost track. I missed half the jokes because I was laughing so hard! It's the funniest movie I've seen since "Knocked Up." The scene with the motel clerk - OMG! The bedroom scene with Larry and Ivana had the whole audience cracking up. The airport scene is unbelievable. And Joe Mantegna is a scream. Jenny McCarthy is funny and super-sexy. Plus, the movie actually has heart. I'm telling everyone I know to see it!
