The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Fat small-town sheriff Lawrence Whitney aka "Larry the Cable Guy" (as Larry Stalder) rescues beautiful blonde Ivana Milicevic (as Madeline) from what he believes are kidnappers. She is actually a "Witness Protection" woman waiting to testify against some big oil baddies. Accompanying "Larry" makes it more like "Witless Protection" (get it?) for Ms. Milicevic. This leads to danger and misadventure for the duo. In a smaller appearance than the film's promotional material suggests, Jenny McCarthy shows off her curves. Eric Roberts and Yaphet Kotto are among those trying not to embarrass themselves. "Witless" is too elevated a description.* Witless Protection (2/22/08) Charles Robert Carner ~ Larry the Cable Guy, Ivana Milicevic, Yaphet Kotto, Eric Roberts

Larry Stalder is a small town sheriff's deputy with a sagging midsection and a grandiose dream of one day becoming an agent for the FBI. He doesn't exactly enhance his chances of fulfilling that dream when he "rescues" a woman whom he mistakenly believes has been kidnapped by what he thinks is a gang of sunglass-wearing mobsters. In actuality, they are federal agents transporting a whistle-blower to a trial in Chicago where her testimony could spell big trouble for a powerful, Enron-type CEO with whom she was once romantically involved. A lengthy cross country chase ensues with the agents hot on the heels of this nitwit law enforcer and his unwitting "hostage." Armed with crime-fighting knowledge he's gleaned primarily from cable TV, and with a malapropism for every occasion, Larry bumbles his way from one outlandish situation to the next, somehow managing to stay one step ahead of the authorities at all times.Larry the Cable Guy has that rare ability to perform low comedy routines without having to resort to self-conscious mugging to garner laughs. Likewise, Ivana Milicevic, Eric Roberts, Joe Mantegna, Jenny McCarthy and a whole host of other comic actors throw themselves into their roles with a great deal of abandon and aplomb.The humor is broad (to put it mildly), but it is more often fleet-footed than flatfooted, and the whole enterprise is so dopey and good-natured that you may just find yourself chuckling right along with all the goofiness - provided, that is, you can put your brain on hold for the full hour-and-a-half that the movie takes to play itself out.

In a nutshell, Witless Protection offends anyone with the minimum IQ of a shoe! That's about it. If you're still interested and want to know what my reasons are, keep reading...I'm a 28 years old white English man with no religious preference and a skin as thick as a rhino when it comes to sense of humour and tolerance for bad jokes and sarcasm. I watched Witless Protection with the one intention: to have a silly laugh while eating greasy Chinese take away.Believe it or not, I've always found these retarded redneck flicks kind of funny. But good God, this movie is far from funny, let alone retarded!!! I lasted about 20 minutes. I'm now here typing this. Chinese was delicious, by the way. Thanks for asking! I'm truly amazed how they actually let this go public. Fair enough, the guy is a fat redneck racist. That's none of my business. It is my business however, to at least be surprised when I see him reaching for the microphone so easily. How is it that none of the good Christians - who are so afraid of breasts and wet kisses - find the non-stop racism in Witless Protection to be suitable for over 13 is beyond me! Hypocrisy at it's best, that's what this is.I'd like to see the reaction when this junk gets a DVD release here in the UK. But then again, does anybody really give a stuff?! I doubt it!If you're still here reading, for the love of mankind, don't let your kids watch this utter rubbish. Please.

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!
