Amazon.com: It's official; Larry the Cable Guy is the new Ernest, and critics be damned. You want smart and sophisticated? Buy The Noel Coward Collection. Larry's a populist from the "I'd rather keep my fans happy" school, and his loyal following will be ecstatic with this film's broad slapstick, what one initially offended character calls "feeble, juvenile, and bigoted" humor, and gross-out bodily function gags (nude body-cavity search, anyone?). Larry portrays a small-town deputy with dreams of becoming an FBI special agent. "I know a criminal when I see one, a rat when I smell one, and a bad moon when it rises," he drawls. When he spies a woman (Ivana Milicevic) in the company of sinister-looking, Men in Black types, he rescues the "damsel in dee-stress." However, she is a government-protected witness en route to Chicago to testify in a sensational trial of Enron proportions. "Are you insane?" she asks him. "No," he replies, "I'm Larry." The film gets plenty of mileage out of their odd coupleness. Her cell-phone ringtone is classical music; his is the theme from Green Acres. She eats salads; he gorges himself on sausage. She's a liberal (who gets off an "impeach Bush" joke) and he bleeds U.S. Red (at one point, the action pauses for a small-town "Support Our Troops" parade).
Witless Protection also benefits from some oddball casting. Yaphet Kotto costars as FBI Agent Alonzo Mosely (the name of his character in the classic Midnight Run). Peter Stormare, the silent, creepy kidnapper in Fargo, portrays a corrupt businessman with an unaccountable British accent. In a baffling cameo, Joe Mantegna seems to be channeling Strother Martin, while Jenny McCarthy serves up some sass as Larry's waitress girlfriend, nuff said, and a game Eric Roberts is a goon who butts heads with Larry in an epic fight scene. Some jokes are stale (Larry dredges up Regis Philbin's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire catch-phrase), while others are current enough to reference Michael Vick and Angelina Jolie. It is a sign of artistic growth that Larry does not utter his own signature catch-phrase, so we won't either. Witless Protection was released theatrically during Oscar weekend, when Hollywood celebrates supreme achievement in film. This is what is known in the business as counter-programming. --Donald Liebenson
Worth a Razzie I call this worth a Razzie award, but to Larry that won't be an insult and in my eyes it is straight on target for what Larry is all about. If you're looking for "Scent of a Woman", well this is "A Fish Called Wanda."
Based on that, I think that the movie delivers on its expectations. It for a rainy night at the beach with your drinking buddies when you don't have anything better to do kind of movie.
J David Moeller rides again! You can't help but love Larry the Cable Guy. And there's a lot to love. In person he's a soft spoken, unassuming, kind individual; polite and well mannered..but with a sense of humor that'll curl bark if you let it. He told a group of us at the wrap party for this film (I play Elmer -the crazy dude in the barn)that he writes every night. Usually a story. As he's writing he might come up with a joke or two which he saves. A few jokes a night every night of the year and you've got yourself a pretty good library of jokes. One of the reasons he was the 7th highest earning comic of 2007. Buy this film and laugh. I did.
Never should have seen the light of day If you spent a penny for this movie you got ripped off. Larry the Cable Guy returns in his third (!?!?!?!?!) film as Larry the Cable Guy, big stretch I know. Again we are treated to idiotic one liners, bodily function jokes, redneck patriotism, and bumbling incompetance. Much like the Three Stooges or Inspector Cleuseu, no matter how idiotic the hero is, he always beats the bad guys. I love slapstick and sight gag humor, but a naked Larry the Cable Guy getting a body cavity search is just too much, even for his biggest fans. The only real redeaming thing about this movie is that Jeff Foxworthy did NOT make a cameo.
So what kind of film is this? Larry is a small town deputy who dreams of becoming an FBI agent. So in an attempt to make his dream come true, he kidnaps a witness from FBI protection. He then decides to take her to CHicago himself to testify. Of course we have some corrupt agents which does nothing but stretch this movie out another unbearable 30 minutes. There;s really nothing else to say about the movie except that it sucks and Larry's constant one liners just make the film that much painful.
Very Funny Great funny movie with lots of great jokes loved all the funny action scenes as well
great movie love lcg! Pretty good show. They are all good except delta farce. Man there alot of low life people who havent a nice thing to say about anything. Sure beats the crap out of most these new stupid movies.
