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.
Steven Hyden, AV Club
Rotten
The otherwise genial Witless Protection scrapes bottom whenever a black person or an Asian or an Arab is wheeled on for just-kiddin' laughs.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Rotten
In Witless Protection, Larry the Cable Guy plays a small-town deputy, fantasizing about becoming an F.B.I. agent. Sitcom wackiness ensues.
Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times
Rotten
Makes his previous effort, Delta Farce, seem a classic by comparison.
