7/10
Extremely Hilarious
15 April 2008
In Cleveland, the histrionic and clumsy executive Nelson Hibbert (Dave Foley) expects to be promoted to president of the Nigel Industries since he is engaged of the owner's daughter. However, his future father-in-law Mr. Nagel (Kenneth Welsh) chooses the executive Ken Daly (Dan Redican) for the position, and Nelson threatens him in front of the board of directors. Later he decides to pay a visit to Mr. Nagel but finds him dead with a knife in his neck. Nelson removes the knife and is covered of blood, becoming hysterical and leaving the office assuming that he is the prime suspect. However, the surveillance cameras disclose the identity of the killer (Colm Feore), and while Nelson escapes to Metcaf believing that he is chased by the police, the killer is pursued by the police and tries to eliminate Nelson believing that he is a "super-cop" on his trail.

"The Wrong Guy" is an extremely hilarious movie. I have just seen this film with my daughter and we are still laughing of the dumb but funny story. The lead character is a sort of Canadian version of Mr. Bean and is so imbecile that it is impossible to stay serious with his presence in scene. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "O Suspeito Errado" ("The Wrong Suspect")
