It almost feels like it's of a bygone era, before comedy felt the need to be ironic or cringe to be cool. This film is jam packed with obvious gags and punchlines, be it age old bits or full blown slapstick, it wants to make you laugh and refuses to beat around the bush. And it'll get you there, eliciting some genuine chuckles, even when you can admit that what you're laughing at is dumb as all hell. Dave Foley is comedy royalty, and it's a shame his feature film debut flew so far under the radar.
It's an obvious homage to The Fugitive, and it managed to beat the Leslie Nielsen parody to the box office by a whole year, but as silly as The Wrong Guy is, I'm sure it doesn't hold a candle to Wrongfully Accused.
