Eugene Levy on ‘Cheap’ Humor and Working with Tyler Perry

I like Eugene Levy, I really do. It’s kind of hard to put that in writing though, because as endearing as Levy is in Christopher Guest’s mockumentries and as Jim’s Dad in the American Pie movies, he’s in some incredibly awful movies. The SCTV veteran has starred in such “gems” as Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, New York Minute, The Man, Ri¢hie Ri¢h’s Christmas Wish, and Madea’s Witness Protection, which is now in theaters and is one of the most negatively-reviewed films of Levy’s career.

Plaza also stars in the new Colin Trevorrow film, Safety Not Guaranteed.
