Top Critic
The movie doesn't even have the common decency to be under 90 minutes. What a bore.

I've got an idea for Larry the Cable Guy's next dumb movie. Maybe the lowbrow bumbler with the big heart and even bigger beer gut could play, oh I don't know, a cable guy?

During the last part of this wacky comedy, it loses the amusing push-pull intimacy between its 'odd-couple' protagonists.
03/01/08
Gratuitous support-our-troops iconography and post-9/11 paranoia permeate a harebrained plot.
02/28/08
Merely an excuse for the viewer to delight in the hilarity generated by Mr. Cable Guy breaking wind, vomiting, producing various gastric noises, etc.
02/27/08
Ranting about Witless Protection's political incorrectness -- not to mention its general stupidity -- would be a waste of breath. Even so, the movie is breathtakingly offensive at times.
02/26/08
Larry The Cable Guy is a cancerous boil on the ass of comedy, but it's still sort of shocking how little effort he puts into his movies.
02/25/08
It’s the audience that deserves Protection from this Witless Larry the Cable Guy vehicle.
02/25/08
The otherwise genial Witless Protection scrapes bottom whenever a black person or an Asian or an Arab is wheeled on for just-kiddin' laughs.

Top Critic You have what might very well be the worst movie of 2008. And 2009. And probably 2010, too. Did we fail to mention the exploding farts?
02/25/08
In Witless Protection, Larry the Cable Guy plays a small-town deputy, fantasizing about becoming an F.B.I. agent. Sitcom wackiness ensues.
02/25/08
Top Critic Makes his previous effort, Delta Farce, seem a classic by comparison.
02/25/08
Top Critic One can only hope that Witless Protection is targeted at a vanishing species of American Neanderthal. In the meantime, perhaps Larry and his accomplices at Lionsgate could take some sensitivity traning.
02/25/08
Top Critic Maybe there are only two kinds of people in this world. Those who think Larry the Cable Guy is funny, and those who do not. I am in the latter camp.
02/24/08
The nastiest and silliest of Larry the Cable Guide big-screen vehicles, Witless Protection, the formulaic road flick, is Witless Comedy par excellence.
02/23/08
I began hating it not just for its utter lack of quality as art or entertainment, but for the blackness of its very soul.
