Madea's Witness Protection (2012)

The film uses the effeminate character of Howie as a consistent target for mockery, primarily through Madea's demeaning jokes about his perceived sexuality and masculinity. These harmful stereotypes are presented without critique, contributing to a negative and problematic portrayal of queer identity.

The film consistently portrays Christianity as a source of moral guidance, community, and strength through characters like Madea and her family. Church scenes are depicted positively, and the narrative aligns with Christian virtues of family, forgiveness, and faith, even amidst comedic situations.

The Needleman family, who are Jewish, are portrayed with respect and dignity. While initial cultural differences with Madea's Christian household are played for comedy, the film ultimately fosters understanding and acceptance between the families, affirming the value of their faith and heritage.
