The New York Times
The slapstick and action set pieces are lame, and its performances range from competent to annoying. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
At least a fright-wigged Joe Mantegna, delivering an execrable cameo as a whacked-out doctor, has a good excuse for his presence; the writer-director is one of his former film students. - 30
Variety
If you need a GPS unit to find your own backside, you'll be laughing uproariously at Witless Protection, a movie that's far more interesting politically than dramatically -- or, God knows, comically. - 30
L.A. Weekly
Still, it’s hard to despise the movie, especially when Peter Stormare shows up over-enunciating the most brilliantly awful English accent of all time. - 25
Boston Globe
It's mostly harmless dum-dum stuff, though. - 0
The A.V. Club
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.
