Madea's Witness Protection is funny and entertaining but not enough, it took itself more seriously this time, it has some really funny moments, but sometimes you will feel, not bored, but that the movie is somehow overlong and you will checkMadea's Witness Protection is funny and entertaining but not enough, it took itself more seriously this time, it has some really funny moments, but sometimes you will feel, not bored, but that the movie is somehow overlong and you will check your hour once or twice at least during this movie, it is clever somehow but ridiculously unbelievable, but on the brighter side, it is entertaining and has some capricious fun.… Expand

Not your typical Madea movie/screen play and one Tyler Perry actually did well at capturing. You wont find that much christian overtones or black woman drama this time around as it involves a white family in need of some help. The whole plotNot your typical Madea movie/screen play and one Tyler Perry actually did well at capturing. You wont find that much christian overtones or black woman drama this time around as it involves a white family in need of some help. The whole plot is summed up in the trailer and hidden underneath is a small episode of black drama involving a Pastor's son and church money lost to the bank. Being as this is a Madea movie, the family is about as "white bread" as they come and as a white man I will raise my hand first and say "yes, that is how we is." Also typical of a Madea movie, the good parts do not occur until she enters the scene which means waiting a good 30min until she hits the stage front and center. This time around Perry puts her in early with a few scenes to help set the stage then lets her go full blast in the second act. From then on its mostly her but for a change of pace Joe makes a huge scene in this movie and he is funny as hell. The downside of the movie is that it is a typical Tyler Perry Madea movie and it is almost expected as to what ol' Mabel Simmons is going to do but there is at least one scene where her character does the opposite of what would be expected of her. Also it's a bunch of white people in a black comedy which usually ends up making them a joke but in toning it down a bit Perry took a gamble and at times during the movie it worked, and at other times is made them very bland and boring. I would have loved to see more down with Joe and the grandmother (played by Doris Roberts) or Madea and George's daughter. Throughout the movie there were scenes involving the pastor's son and every time he popped up I thought to myself "oh yeah, him" because so much comedy is happening before and after his short scenes that you forget his story is part of the movie or that he's actually involved some how.… Expand

What works is gut-busting funny (the wake-up segments, for example). What doesn't work really bombs (the voice switch on agents/the Jackson family references). Tyler Perry is a joy to watch and when Madea is on screen his physicalWhat works is gut-busting funny (the wake-up segments, for example). What doesn't work really bombs (the voice switch on agents/the Jackson family references). Tyler Perry is a joy to watch and when Madea is on screen his physical performance, itself, is to be treasured. Sadly, though, John Amos' role is so poorly written he practically disappears and Marla Gibbs does disappear except for her name in the credits. Eugene Levy's performance hits one-note, there's no chemistry between him and Denise Richards, and Doris Roberts seems to have escaped from a zombie festival. A very uneven film.… Expand

While some may flock to see Madea's Witness Protection and laugh at its stereotypical jokes and formulaic plot, others are glad they stayed home and saved the extra 10 bucks.

Witness Protection is alright, but I think it needs more than just Madea raising hell and backtalking. I don't think it's quite better than the rest of the Madea series. Madea Goes to Jail was by far my all-time favorite. Although it was notWitness Protection is alright, but I think it needs more than just Madea raising hell and backtalking. I don't think it's quite better than the rest of the Madea series. Madea Goes to Jail was by far my all-time favorite. Although it was not been a good year for Tyler Perry in 2012. Alex Cross bombed, Good Deeds was a disappointment, and I don't know about The Marriage Counselor part, but I hope it won't be any good in 2013.… Expand

A step down from other Tyler Perry films, but did however have its funny moments. However a lot of the humor was unusually raunchy, so less friendly to the church people in my circle. Glad I rented it and didn't watch it at the movies. ThenA step down from other Tyler Perry films, but did however have its funny moments. However a lot of the humor was unusually raunchy, so less friendly to the church people in my circle. Glad I rented it and didn't watch it at the movies. Then again, never seen a Tyler Perry film at the movies. So, if your a fan of Tyler Perry, maybe you'll appreciated more than I did.… Expand
