Review of The Wrong Guy

The Wrong Guy (1997)
7/10
Perfectly Fine 'Brain Candy' if You're a Kids in the Hall Fan
30 December 2006
It should probably be said that if you don't "get" the Kids in the Hall's brand of comedy, you'll snooze at 'The Wrong Guy'. However, if you like the KITH this will delight you. It plays like a 90-minute sketch, and I mean it in a good way. The main character conflates Dave's utilitarian and classic dumb guy character, Bruno Puntz-Jones, bad doctor, and moshed up in a sort of AT&Love setting with a little bit of the door to door axe murderer. Throw in Jennifer Tilly in a see-through nightie and you've got some good fun. For a low budget film, they did a really good job of continuity and keeping the pacing brisk.

For a good inside joke, note the brand name of the tainted ham.
