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.

Reviews for Witless Protection
The movie doesn't even have the common decency to be under 90 minutes. What a bore.

It’s the audience that deserves Protection from this Witless Larry the Cable Guy vehicle.
02/25/08
Witless, lowbrow fun is the signature of this so-so comedy with Larry the Cable Guy in fine fat form as a country bumpkin deputy sheriff with delusions of grander than smalltown cop
12/20/08
It’s sad to watch Yaphet Kotto, as the shady fed, clothesline the stereotypical Muslim motel owner who’s already been threatened by Larry with a trip to Gitmo.
04/23/09
During the last part of this wacky comedy, it loses the amusing push-pull intimacy between its 'odd-couple' protagonists.

should once and for all spell the end of Larry the Cable Guy's horrendous run of Hollywood hokum.
02/22/08
Witless Protection is disgusting, racist, clueless, sexist, charmless, unfunny, infantile, mean-spirited, amateurish, and insulting. In other words, it stars Larry The Cable Guy.

About as charming as being slapped by a stranger.

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.
02/23/08
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
Makes his previous effort, Delta Farce, seem a classic by comparison.

Top CriticFrom this kind of witlessness, the only protection is not to see it.
02/29/08
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.

Top CriticDid someone give a starring role to a Matador, one of the obese male cheerleaders who perform during time outs at Chicago Bulls' games?
02/22/08
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
In many ways, this movie reminds me of an Uwe Boll flick
02/22/08
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?
03/01/08
Carner directs so poorly that even set-pieces which ought to be interesting -- a Keystone Kops bit staged on a pig farm here, an oh-so-careful fight in an antique room there -- are rendered amateurishly.
