![]() ![]() Basically your stereotypical spoiled rich East coast white family meets stereotypical middle-class Southern black family. What follows is George working with Brian gathering evidence for the case, while his wife and kids adjust to living in a different culture. Attorney Brian Simmons (also played by Perry in a more conventional performance) who also happens to be Madea's nephew and son to her housemate Joe (again played by Perry, in aging makeup doing a cranky old man act) is given the task of placing them someplace where the mob won't find them, so he has them move into Madea and Joe's house. The FBI decides that they need George to help put the bad guys away, so they put him and his family in their witness protection program. George's marriage with Kate already isn't going too well, the kids from a previous marriage don't like him or Kate very much, and his mother is losing her memory and becoming delusional. He risks going to prison if he does nothing about it, but he and his family (wife Kate played by Denise Richards, son Howie played by Devan Leos, daughter Cindy played by Danielle Campbell, and mother Barbara played by Doris Roberts) are threatened with death if he testifies. He isn't too bright and has been rather naïve about the whole thing until now. ![]() The Needlemans had to leave New York after George (Eugene Levy) finds out the company he has been Chief Financial Officer for has been involved in fraudulent practices with the Mob, and those responsible have set him up to take the fall for it. In Witness Protection, Madea takes in the Needleman family from New York at her house near Atlanta. For the uninitiated, Madea (full name Mabel "Madea" Simmons) is a loud-mouthed, older Southern African-American woman, in actuality played by Perry in make-up and drag, using a not-so-convincing female voice but we are supposed to just accept that she is a woman. Tyler Perry is back again with his "Madea" character- Madea's Witness Protection is the seventh theatrical movie (not including straight-to-video releases) featuring Madea and the first to not be based on a stage play. ![]()
