Madea is concerned, too, asking, “How am I supposed to hide five white people in this neighborhood?” There’s friction right from the start when daughter Cindy complains “What, are we sharecroppers, now?” about living in a black community. The sassy granny jumps at the $4,000 per month compensation, unaware of just how much of a challenge she’s about to take on.įor Needleman is a package deal who arrives with his family in tow, including his senile mother (Doris Roberts), a pampered trophy wife (Denise Richards) half his age, and a couple of spoiled-rotten kids (Devan Leos and Danielle Campbell). In trying to decide the last place that anybody would look for a wealthy white family from Connecticut, the Feds settle on a humble abode in faraway Atlanta belonging to none other than Madea Simmons (Tyler Perry).

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. Rated PG-13 for crude sexual remarks and brief drug references.ĭirected By: Tyler Perry Reviewed by Kam Williams Now that you have started this, Tyler, you know we are going to expect film companions all the time now.Tyler Perry and Eugene Levy Make for Strange Bedfellows in Fish-Out-of-Water Comedy Thank you, Tyler, for going the extra mile for us and sharing more in-depth detail about MADEA’s WITNESS PROTECTION through the film’s companion.
