Profile of Witless Protection

The mood of Witless Protection is humorous and exciting. The plot centers around fugitives, kidnapping, and being on the run. It features a comedy of errors and grossout humor. Witless Protection is a comedy and crime movie. Stylistically, it campy humor. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. Witless Protection takes place, at least partly, in a small town. The setting is Mississippi. It happens in contemporary times. Witless Protection is especially suggested for teens.

Summary of Witless Protection

Standup comedy phenom Larry the Cable Guy (CARS, BLUE COLLAR TV, DELTA FARCE) brings plenty of girth and mirth to his latest film, the police caper WITLESS PROTECTION. Larry (real name Daniel Lawrence Whitney) plays Deputy Larry Sandler, a small-town sheriff's deputy with good time buddies, a sassy but adoring girlfriend named Connie (Jennie McCarthy), and dreams of being an FBI agent. Providence comes Larry's way when he spots Madeleine Dimkowski (Ivana Milicevic) and concludes that her FBI escorts, led by Yaphet Kotto (HOMICIDE), are not on the level. Larry kidnaps big city snob Madeleine, who is a key government witness against corrupt businessman Arthur Grimsley (Peter Stormare), and resolves to deliver her to the proper authorities in Chicago. Hotly pursued by Kotto's bogus FBI agents, as well as Grimsley's devious security chief (Eric Roberts), Larry and Madeleine must learn to bridge their many cultural differences if they are to make it to the trial alive. Lampooning everything from celebrity adoption habits to Homeland Security, the film cuts a broad swath of unabashed political incorrectness on its cross-country escapade. Farcical and fun, WITLESS PROTECTION aims to prove that, no matter what our backgrounds or biases, nothing brings out the best like doing what's right.

The New York Times

The slapstick and action set pieces are lame, and its performances range from competent to annoying. Full Review

Variety

If you need a GPS unit to find your own backside, you'll be laughing uproariously at Witless Protection, a movie that's far more interesting politically than dramatically -- or, God knows, comically. Full Review

Not funny. This is definately no Larry the Cable Guy humor. Earnest goes to 'anywhere' would be better. I really like Larry, I hope his next movie is better. Read and rate it
