funny, and more Larry for all you Larry lovers
Added 8/17/2009
Somewhat of a disappointment to be totally honest. I LOVE Larry the Cable Guy and I think he's one of the best stand up comedians when it comes to unpredictable and tricky jokes. Somehow though, he wasn't particularly funny on Delta Farce. Neither were most of the other characters (except that skinny guy- HE was funny).
Even though the film is a disappointment, I still really loved it because it's just an outrageous style of humor that really cracks me up. It's dumb humor, sure, but it's the kind of laughs that always immediately put me in a good mood.
I'd say Larry's previous movie was better than this one though.
The fact that the bad guy in the movie was called Carlos Santana was the funniest joke of all, haha. I'm a big Santana fan (I LOVE his album Love, Devotion and Surrender that he did with John McLaughlin back in 1972) so any time his name is mentioned makes me happy. Funny how the bad guy would say "I'm Carlos Santana!" and Larry the Cable Guy would go "The singer?" and he'd go "NO, NOT THE SINGER!" haha
The way Larry the Cable Guy and his buddies saved a Mexican town (that they thought was a town in Iraq, LOL) and the way they found water were funny segments. Much of the movie was about Larry and company saving a small Mexican town from a gang of bad guys. They'd save the town and not realize they were doing it, lol. The perfect example of quality humor in my book!
Overall, good movie. I just can't get enough of Larry the Cable Guy!

Good laugh
Added 4/1/2009
I am a comedy fan & I love Larry the cable guy's movies. It doesn't take a lot of mental power to watch his movies but I find they are always good for a laugh. If you like his comedy act you will enjoy his movies.

Somewhere between three and four stars, STUPID is rarely this funny
Added 3/20/2009
First, let's make one point clear: THIS
IS A STUPID MOVIE. God, is it stupid. But movies this stupid aren't often as funny as this one. I should have been more generous with the star rating, as I doubt they intended this to be taken seriously. If you take it too seriously, you will be bitterly disappointed. But any movie that features Larry The Cable Guy has a stamp on it.
But despite the names of Engvall and "Larry," the real show stealer is DJ Qualls. This guy's a mess, a real train-wreck. Yes, he's the stereotypical trigger-happy clueless American, but what people don't understand, is it is an intentional low-brow comedy which relies on insensitivity and stereotypes. Hence the hard-drinking Mexicans, the over-the-top "No Closet Can Hold Me" gay nephew of the town thug, the thug himself, and the beer-guzzling "redneck" Americans. Lighten up, people, it's just a silly movie.
And to all you politically correct busybodies, who still want to subject yourself to politically incorrect misery, that of the right to personal expression, go to "Features" and watch the interview with Lisa Lampanelli, the "Queen Of Mean." As Mencia often says, "...FREE SPEECH, BABY!!!" My god, get a sense of humor...
Also in the features, one sees how Danny Trejo got into acting. He is often typecast in bad guy roles, but as he says here, he has done time in every California penitentiary at one time or another. He lost nine years of his life to prison sentences. Coming to the point where he said to himself, "enough is enough," he finally did straighten himself out, and managed to break into films, as an extra at first. This isn't really relevant to the film, but "Bonus Features" never really are.
Back to the movie at hand. The biggest laugh I had in watching this was from a very short clip, only a few seconds at most. At one hour, eight minutes, forty-two seconds, Qualls left me on the floor with a noise he made. Some sounds can do this, in this case, a scream. But it killed me. I don't know, it is just one of those things. And of course, there is juvenile toilet humor, Larry's catch-phrase: "...Git'r done..." and a lot of, as I said earlier, stupidity. But keep in mind it is just a silly movie, a "Farce," if you will, and you won't hate it so much.

Really stupid movie
Added 10/16/2009
I couldn't finish watching this movie. It was horrible. The jokes were stupid and the acting horrible. Larry the Cable guy tried so hard to act stupid that it just got annoying. Is anybody really that dumb? I realized I had better things to do with my life and turned it off.

At Least Someone is Trying to Fill Jim Varney's Shoes

If you are planning on picking up "Witless Protection", then I would say it's a fair guess your not hoping for a film full of witty, dry or subtle humor. My guess is you want something that will allow you to turn off your brain for 90 minutes and have a few chuckles. If you are like me, and enjoy a good fart joke then "Witless Protection" isn't a bad little flick. If you are looking for something a little deeper, maybe you should keep looking.
Larry the Cable Guy plays a clueless small town deputy who forces his way into an FBI Witness Protection job when he believes a woman passing through town is being kidnapped. The meager plot is simply a place setting which allows Larry to interact with uptight FBI agents, pompous rich folks, hit men and assorted other fish-out-of-water stereotypes so often found in this type of flick.
I got some great laughs out of this movie, like when Larry has to go through airport security or when he's trying to pay for a hotel room with cash and argues with the hotel manager. There are tons of little one liners sprinkled throughout the film that will keep a smile on your face.
So would I recommend this movie? Sure, as long as you put your brain in neutral, don't go into "Witless Protection" expecting a hilarious "Animal House"-like film. Just sit back and enjoy Larry being Larry.

Rent, do not buy
Added 6/24/2009
My husband and I have seen several of Larry the Cable Guy's comedy routines and find him funny so when we saw this for sale for $4 (yes, brand new!) at the store we thought we should give it a try. It was a shocker to see Jenny McCarthey with a very small roll but kind of glad since she did a really bad job with her hick accent and all she did was walk around in a mini skirt and cut off shirts. Anyway, the script was really bad. There were some funny moments, but for the most part there were just corny jokes constantly that didn't get a laugh out of my husband or I. Surely this movie will be left in our album to collect dust and never see the light of day again. If you are a huge fan or Larry, you may enjoy it but it has total B movie (and maybe even C) written all over it.
