This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Blistering performances.

A small town local sheriff witnesses what he believes to be a kidnapping when a woman is taken. little does he know that it's really the FBI wanting to question her for something. He kidnaps the girl and she tells him some story about her running from some crazy guys that are after her,, he swears to protect her, but he must lose the people who are tailing him,, presumably the FBI , and the hunt is now on to find our redneck hero and the girl,, the bad guys hire some people to go after the two as getting to her is key to whatever they plan to accomplish...this movie is funny , and does have a few bright spots,, like Jenny Mcarthy half naked. but other than that I am gonna have to say that this is just not very good,, Larry the Cable Guy really can't act,, sure he's funny ill give you that,, but the accents are horrible, and the acting isn't very good.

Now, I don't think this was a great movie. It's something to watch when you're at home with nothing to do and it happens to come on T.V. Maybe something to pick up out of the bargain bin at your local video store when it's for sale for $2.00. But that said, I did find it entertaining in places, and I don't think it deserves to be in the bottom 100 movies of all time.I try to generally be forbearing of all kinds of humor. But exactly what is funny about a disgusting, boorish, stupid buffoon with zero redeeming qualities who is exaggeratedly and impossibly inept at everything he does but nonetheless manages to be perceived as some kind of hero or genius by law enforcement/the populace is and has been lost on me since I was a child. That is what Larry the Cable Guy is in Delta Farce and Health Inspector. I guess this is also what makes people like his comedy, but on stage he is just some (fake) redneck talking and making redneck jokes, so I can at least understand people finding that humorous. He is not in charge of anything, he is not responsible for the health of a town, nor does not have an armed humvee filled with weaponry. I can't sympathize with his stupid characters.In this movie at least, I can sympathize with his goals, because they're actually human. He is a small town cop who naively dreams about being in the FBI. He is bumbling but nonetheless capable of moments of competence and of surprising cleverness. He has areas of actual expertise, a world view that can be understood, the morals and ethics of a decent (if backwards and unsophisticated) person. He feels like a real person. And I like that.Witless Protection isn't that funny a movie. But it's more entertaining than the majority of made for T.V. capers you see these days. It has its moments. I really don't see how it can possibly be lower rated than his other movies. It's not 'mindless,' more intelligent than Health Inspector and Delta Farce, and nowhere near the level of movies like Gigli and Daddy Day Camp.

This is one of those slight-of-hand smart comedies, which explains why its target audience hated it so much. A bit too intellectual for them.A lot of the stuff involves dumb gags, silly (and easily seen over-the-top) stereotypes, and the acting is not going to win any awards for comedy or otherwise. But it is all wound up into an enjoyable story and directed well enough that even Eric Roberts is able to handle his role. It also has enough complexity and subtlety to keep it interesting (provided you're able to make it through the first 10 minutes, which really is bad, but does still tie into the story).Maybe the problem is that the target audience can't handle the memory required to get past the first 10 minutes.

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!
