Madea's Witness Protection Trailers

For years, mild-mannered Wall Street banker George Needleman has meandered through life oblivious to his family's dysfunction and his company's malfeasance, but he's forced to wake up when he learns that he's been framed in a mob-backed Ponzi scheme. Placed under federal protection, George and his family are shipped down South to Madea's house, where the no-nonsense matriarch whips them all into shape using her special brand of tough love.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I agree that this is one of his funniest and most hilarious movie ever written by Tyler Perry. And I think I've seen all of them. I could not stop laughing and think I will be quoting that movie for the next week or so. I really don't agree with people who rate this a five or below. I enjoyed it and thought it was amazing! I really encourage people to see this movie who love to laugh unconditionally! It is a great movie! The story plot's a little shaky but nonetheless, will be added to my shelf of favorite movies! My family laughed their heads off! If you like to laugh so hard to where you have water rolling down your legs, go see this movie!

People make this movie seem like it's the worst thing ever created. Sure, it wasn't all the "good". Although, a lot of reviews make this seem there isn't any comical value at all. There weren't very many part, but just enough to keep me watching, granted there a many problems with this movie, and I am not a huge fan of Tyler Perry's movies, but there were a few one liners that made me laugh, for example. "Betty Boop done Drooped." I actually laughed when that line was said. If you're a fan of Tyler Perry's movies, then give this a go. If not, if you need a cheap laugh or two, give it a go. I can assure you it's no where near as bad as people say. I give this movie a 4 out of 10.

Tyler Perry took the film industry by storm when he introduced Madea in his first film Diary of a Man Black Woman. The stories were always filled with comedy, but surrounded by an emotional story that made them so much more. Over time, the idea stayed intact, but Madea has stepped more into the forefront and they have been losing their serious side. With the latest Madea's Witness Protection it seemed to be another with more comedy than drama, but with an all-new twist taking this story outside the norm with the introduction of a white family into Madea's world.Madea's Witness Protection follows an investment banker who is caught up in a Ponzi scheme to take the fall for the Wall Street firm he works for. In exchange for a lighter sentence he decides to work with the District Attorney's office and is put into witness protection in the home of Madea, the District Attorneys aunt. This is probably one of the weakest of all the Perry movies to date. While it's not horrible, it has almost completely lost all of the dramatic aspect that made these movies so effective. There are a few aspects for this family to grow, but it's played up more on the comedy side instead of the usually powerful drama. The cast is fine with the direction of the film, but really the only truly funny moments are that of Madea and Joe both played by Perry himself. They are the kind of characters that if you like them are really funny if you don't then the entire film falls flat. The story is fine even though the reasoning for them being there is a bit far-fetched, but if you can let that go the movie is pretty fun.In the bigger picture you are either a Perry fan or not. If you like his films then you will enjoy this one despite the lack of the drama; if you don't then you will most likely not see it anyway. The Madea character is one that has become one of those characters that fans love and others are annoyed by. No matter what you feel of the character or these films you cannot deny Perry's ability as a filmmaker and his creativity on bringing her back to the big screen. This is probably not her last appearance, but let's hope he heads back to his roots to find the passion and drama to team up with the comedy to deliver another powerful movie like the one that started it all.

I'm not a Medea fan so I expected very little out of this movie. My wife is a fan, so I had to go. I got even less out of this movie. The comedy produced a few chuckles. The plot was so full of holes. Yes, I know it's a comedy and I shouldn't expect it to teach me how a fraud investigation would work but these holes are too big to ignore. Why is the Atlanta District Attorney involved in a federal investigation into a multinational corporation? The scary mob family NEVER shows up in the movie. The climax, Medea going to the bank and transferring money into twelve accounts for reasons unknown, took two minutes and was so anti-climatic. For the life of me, I still can't figure out why it had to be done much less how. If you're a Medea fan, maybe you should save your $10 ticket money and just watch Tyler Perry's act on TV.
