Eric Roberts, Gerry Bednob, Ivana Milicevic

During a routine day spent patrolling his small town, a small town sheriff's deputy witnesses a beautiful, high-class woman, Madeleine, being held against her will by four mysterious, black-suited men...( read more  read more... ). Recognizing the opportunity to save the day, he "kidnaps" her, only to learn that Madeleine is actually a key witness in a high-stakes Chicago crime case and her captors are FBI agents assigned to protect her. Madeleine is furious. But the deputy, who rightly suspects the agents are crooked and Madeleine is in danger, forces her on a harebrained trip to Chicago to solve the case himself. Together, the hilariously mismatched duo must grapple with angry FBI agents, quack doctors and Chicago high society.

    I knew this was going to suck but my husband bought the DVD so I watched it with him. I was right in my assumptin.

    Let me start by saying, if you don't love Larry The Cable Guy, you'll probably find it hard to like this movie. Yeah, it's pointless fluff, but I laughed out loud more than once and his brand of Southern humour does strike a cord with me. Millicevic and McCarthy are easy on the e...( read more)yes and as a fun way to kill an afternoon without testing any brain cells, it did just fine. There's a cool featurette on the DVD about Larrys use of analogy too. Mainly for fans.

    Yep.

    Yeah it's bad but it knows it. Low-brow comedy for a mindless movie experience.

    Well, to be honest this is the first time that Cable Guy Larry (or the other way around) has caught my attention. So as a first impression, i was impressed, i've seen so many bad comedy's that i sometimes forget to laugh at the good ones, and this one has some funny ass parts.
    ...( read more) He's fat, he stinks, has one hell of a way with people and deffinetly not a gentleman, more like he seems related to pigs (most guys are, NOT TRUE, but that's what women think), but i'll be damned if this shit is not funny, however doesn't mean that you'll like it, thank god for trailers, but it's relaxing and might squeeze a few giggles if you're in the right mood.

    Have fun..or don't!! :-??

    Pretty bad as expected, but not the worst comedy I have seen. He did manage to get in Micheal Vick and Micheal Jackson jokes.

    "My hand hasn't been this sore since the first episode of 'Baywatch'!"

The otherwise genial Witless Protection scrapes bottom whenever a black person or an Asian or an Arab is wheeled on for just-kiddin' laughs. full review
