Reviews for Madea's Witness Protection
Slant Magazine
Madea's Witness Protection is Tyler Perry's 14th feature film and the 17th to star Madea, his most popular creation. Madea, the linebacker-sized mammy performed by Perry in drag, has always been either the sticking or selling point of the seven films...

George Needleman (Eugene Levy) is so naive that he has no idea that his boss, Walter (Tom Arnold), is running a Ponzi scheme right under his nose. It only dawns on the terminally-nerdy CFO that something is awry when arrived at work one day to find all...

I know she's not a real person, and maybe I should be addressing her alter ego, Tyler Perry. But I don't have a stake in Tyler Perry; he's not all that interesting to me without her. She's the one I come to see in movie after movie, she's the one whose...

Since 2005’s Diary Of A Mad Black Woman brought Tyler Perry’s popular stage plays into the feature realm, Tyler Perry has been turning out movies with Takashi Miike-esque speed. But the secret is that Perry never really changes.

Madea, that soulful battle-ax, finally runs out of gas. In what sounds like the worst sitcom pilot of 1977, George (Eugene Levy), a disgraced CFO, is placed in Witness Protection — which means that he and his spoiled family have to hide out in...

The first of writer/director/producer/star Tyler Perry's Madea movies not based on one of his plays, his sixth outing as the sharp-tongued (but dull-witted) 6'4" Southern black woman is more of a sitcom. Fittingly, TV vets Doris Roberts, Marla Gibbs...
