Editorial Review:
Larry the Cable Guy returns for another comic misadventure as a small town sheriff who unwittingly gets involved in a high profile FBI case. Larry single-handedly "rescues" a sophisticated woman from the men who are actually protecting her. The hilariously mismatched duo must grapple with angry FBI agents, quack doctors and Chicago high society in his funniest, most unpredictable adventure yet.

Description of Witless Protection [Blu-ray]:
It's official; Larry the Cable Guy is the new Ernest, and critics be damned. You want smart and sophisticated? Buy The Noel Coward Collection. Larry's a populist from the "I'd rather keep my fans happy" school, and his loyal following will be ecstatic with this film's broad slapstick, what one initially offended character calls "feeble, juvenile, and bigoted" humor, and gross-out bodily function gags (nude body-cavity search, anyone?). Larry portrays a small-town deputy with dreams of becoming an FBI special agent. "I know a criminal when I see one, a rat when I smell one, and a bad moon when it rises," he drawls. When he spies a woman (Ivana Milicevic) in the company of sinister-looking, Men in Black types, he rescues the "damsel in dee-stress." However, she is a government-protected witness en route to Chicago to testify in a sensational trial of Enron proportions. "Are you insane?" she asks him. "No," he replies, "I'm Larry." The film gets plenty of mileage out of their odd coupleness. Her cell-phone ringtone is classical music; his is the theme from Green Acres. She eats salads; he gorges himself on sausage. She's a liberal (who gets off an "impeach Bush" joke) and he bleeds U.S. Red (at one point, the action pauses for a small-town "Support Our Troops" parade).

Witless Protection also benefits from some oddball casting. Yaphet Kotto costars as FBI Agent Alonzo Mosely (the name of his character in the classic Midnight Run). Peter Stormare, the silent, creepy kidnapper in Fargo, portrays a corrupt businessman with an unaccountable British accent. In a baffling cameo, Joe Mantegna seems to be channeling Strother Martin, while Jenny McCarthy serves up some sass as Larry's waitress girlfriend, nuff said, and a game Eric Roberts is a goon who butts heads with Larry in an epic fight scene. Some jokes are stale (Larry dredges up Regis Philbin's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire catch-phrase), while others are current enough to reference Michael Vick and Angelina Jolie. It is a sign of artistic growth that Larry does not utter his own signature catch-phrase, so we won't either. Witless Protection was released theatrically during Oscar weekend, when Hollywood celebrates supreme achievement in film. This is what is known in the business as counter-programming. --Donald Liebenson

Witless Protection [Blu-ray] Reviews:
[Three-and-a-half stars] The best from the (earnstwhile) 'Larry the Cable Guy' stable, yet
2009-11-23 - An excellent cast (Larry the cable guy, Yaphett Cotto,
Jen McCarthy, more) seem to be having a great time in
this very non-p.c. movie with some great one-liners.

'This makes as much sense as Michael Jackson at a day-
care centre'. 'This sits heavy. Heavier than Michael
Moore after a 'Vegas buffet.' '...Went down faster than
a bottle of vodka @ Courtney Love's house..' You get the
idea. Snappy, crude and fast-paced. The best is yet to
come from Larry. Trust me, I've done over 900+ reviews!

Really stupid movie
2009-10-16 - I couldn't finish watching this movie. It was horrible. The jokes were stupid and the acting horrible. Larry the Cable guy tried so hard to act stupid that it just got annoying. Is anybody really that dumb? I realized I had better things to do with my life and turned it off.

At Least Someone is Trying to Fill Jim Varney's Shoes
2009-08-18 - If you are planning on picking up "Witless Protection", then I would say it's a fair guess your not hoping for a film full of witty, dry or subtle humor. My guess is you want something that will allow you to turn off your brain for 90 minutes and have a few chuckles. If you are like me, and enjoy a good fart joke then "Witless Protection" isn't a bad little flick. If you are looking for something a little deeper, maybe you should keep looking.

Larry the Cable Guy plays a clueless small town deputy who forces his way into an FBI Witness Protection job when he believes a woman passing through town is being kidnapped. The meager plot is simply a place setting which allows Larry to interact with uptight FBI agents, pompous rich folks, hit men and assorted other fish-out-of-water stereotypes so often found in this type of flick.

I got some great laughs out of this movie, like when Larry has to go through airport security or when he's trying to pay for a hotel room with cash and argues with the hotel manager. There are tons of little one liners sprinkled throughout the film that will keep a smile on your face.

So would I recommend this movie? Sure, as long as you put your brain in neutral, don't go into "Witless Protection" expecting a hilarious "Animal House"-like film. Just sit back and enjoy Larry being Larry.

Rent, do not buy
2009-06-24 - My husband and I have seen several of Larry the Cable Guy's comedy routines and find him funny so when we saw this for sale for $4 (yes, brand new!) at the store we thought we should give it a try. It was a shocker to see Jenny McCarthey with a very small roll but kind of glad since she did a really bad job with her hick accent and all she did was walk around in a mini skirt and cut off shirts. Anyway, the script was really bad. There were some funny moments, but for the most part there were just corny jokes constantly that didn't get a laugh out of my husband or I. Surely this movie will be left in our album to collect dust and never see the light of day again. If you are a huge fan or Larry, you may enjoy it but it has total B movie (and maybe even C) written all over it.
