What happens

Madea's Witness Protection is a 2012 American comedy film co-produced, written and directed by Tyler Perry, who stars with Eugene Levy, Denise Richards, Doris Roberts, Romeo Miller, Tom Arnold, John Amos, and Marla Gibbs. It is the fourteenth film by Perry and the seventh installment in the Madea film series. It is the fourth Perry film not to be adapted from a play, alongside The Family That Preys, Daddy's Little Girls, and Good Deeds, as well as the first Madea film not to be adapted from a play. It tells the story about Madea being a host to a family that the FBI has entered into the witness protection program due to the fact that the patriarch has been the CFO of a company that a crime family was using to further their Ponzi schemes. Filmed in Atlanta from mid-to-late January to March 2012, Madea's Witness Protection was released through Lionsgate on June 29, 2012. With total box office gross of about $67 million, it is one of Tyler Perry's three most successful movies, along with Boo! A Madea Halloween and Madea Goes to Jail. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
