Summary: The ultimate over-looked comedy
Review: I've been waiting to see this movie ever since I saw Dave Foley promoting it on Conan O'Brien and it's well worth the wait. In my opinion, this movie is less like a Hitchcock film and more like the great Buster Keaton chase comedies. The timing is perfect, Dave Foley's facial expressions are priceless and the dialogue is hilarious. There are a lot of repeated permutations on the "wrongly accused" storyline, and this movie takes probably the only one that hasn't been used yet (to my knowledge) and does a great job playing on the audience's expectations. On my first viewing I noticed that a lot of the great gags were "reveal gags", like the car alarms and the ham, which reminded me of the type of reveal gags used on The Simpsons (the three vase/closet gag in the Hugo episode is still one of my favorites). I was pleased to read that one of the writers was Jay Kogen. Jay, if you're not writing on The Simpsons any more, they need you badly. If you are, show some of those new guys how things are done. Anyway, buy/rent/share this movie, it's great.

Summary: Whats that? I'll say
Review: Okay first off I have to admit that I am a little biased towards liking anything with Dave Foley in it. That said I loved this movie.Although, short on production value, and in some places acting ability (Jennifer Tilly) this movie is just another proof of Dave's subtle comic genius. This movie is about a mild mannered, somewhat simple white-collar executive, trying to marry the boss's daughter to get a head in the company. Then upon finding his boss dead, just after vowing vengeance in front of the entire board room, Our hero (and I use that term lightly) freaks and runs, in the funniest most gruesome, and cowardly piece of comedy I've seen. I would suggest this movie to any one who enjoyed, The kids in the Hall, or News Radio. But I think that Just about any one with a sense of humor and a good ability to suspend disbelief would find this movie a riot to watch.

Summary: MemoScenes: Freight train & the criminal carrying Nelson
Review: Quirky and odd movie.Barenaked Ladies and Joe Flaherty fans,don't blink.Narrators refer to scenes deleted being SO FUNNY!Were parts to the story deleted too many times?Why deleted?There's some continuity missing via the film editing.Nelson's change from uptight man in a suit to not nice hobo in a suit was fractured and unexplained.Colm Feore contrasts 180° from Trudeau earlier this year.David Higgins reprises an unlikeable guy(he's Craig on Malcolm in Middle)Can't find the commentary?Set up the closed captioning text first.It explains things the movie didn't show.This isn't a trashing.It didnt appeal 1st x around because I just didnt get it but the movie grows on you.This should be released to theatre screens.There must be more tiny details not being shown that would be there on a big screen.The commentary gears to acting history buffs.Why?and What? is zigzagging down the road screaming with chest out, arms loose considered a classic? What IS the difference between acting and comedy?

Summary: "Oh, I thought you WANTED to carry me!"
Review: This has got to be one of the funniest, most under-rated comedies ever (next to Office Space). If you were a big fan of the David Foley sketches in Kids In The Hall, or even if you're a fan of irreverant comedy like Montey Python, you'll get a kick out of Wrong Guy. It's one of those comedies where you'll be at work one day and remember a scene or a line, and just spontaneously burst out laughing. The Wrong Guy has been available on VHS for rental in Canada for about 5 years now, and has gone virtually unnoticed in North American film press. According to David Foley, after the movie was made it just sort of fell through the cracks -- Handmade Studios temporarily went out of business, and distributer Buena Vista just decided to shelve it indefinitely, for no particular reason. It's amazing that this movie is only now finding its way to US DVD release -- if it were released theatrically today, with some decent advertising it would probably garner the same acclaim as Something About Mary. Parent-company Disney (the same ... who apparently thought Snow Dogs and Country Bears were worthy theatrical releases) don't know good films from their collective ... They probably figured that this Canadian film didn't feature enough dogs, or people getting bonked on the head, or stereo-typical bad guys getting outsmarted by little kids, or any other tried-and-true money-making clichés aimed at the dumbest of viewers, to justify the cost of marketing it. But I digress. See this movie, it will put a grin on your face.

Summary: Heeelarious
Review: This has to be one of the best dumb humor movies I've seen. David Folley is hillarious. His crazed acting and facial expressions add so much to what could have been a complete flop. The more I see this movie, the better it gets. So many little things that perhaps aren't picked up the first or second time offer too many laughs.

Summary: More like the "DAVID FOLEY STORY"
Review: This is a movie that takes a comedy in a different direction where the funny parts are plain to see and David Foley outlines them with such a witless sense of serious drama that makes the film somewhat pointless in a very hillarious sort of way. Running into his dead boss, to tampering with the crime evidence, and trying to run from the cops, thinking there after him. From meeting the Narcoleptic girl, and the poor innocent banker who is getting ruined by a evil, rich, devilishly cunning farmer guy. This was a bit overdone perhaps. Everything about this movie is goofy, and brings out the best in David Foley and for all the fans that enjoy his dry sense of comedy and black comedy if you will. If you like David Foley. You'll like this movie.

Summary: Hilarious movie...A Bizarro Fugitive!
Review: This is a very funny movie, especially if you like twisted comedies like Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison. Also if you like Kids in the Hall and the Simpsons because two of the writers are guys from those shows. In some ways, this movie is a bizarro retelling of the Fugitive movie and TV series with lots of clever jokes. My favorite part is when Foley's character gets caught in a feud between the local banker and a small town farmer--but with a very unexpected twist. This movie will make you laugh.

Summary: Where have all "The Wrong Guy"s gone?
Review: This is yet another classic comedy that has had little to no promotion since its date of release some years ago.
I originally came across this film accidentally in a movie rental store. Being quite aware of the talent of David Foley from his Kids in the Hall days, I decided to rent it.
I was quite overwhelmed with its humour and comedic stupidity. It was great! It definitely is in my top 3 comedies of all time next to another shelved classic "Brain Donors".
This is comedy at its finest, or more appropriately, stupidest!

Summary: why was this movie made?
Review: This movie is a guide in what not to do to make funny movie.
Sometimes a movie can be so dumb that it is funny anyway.
This movie is dumb, unfunny, and has some of the worst acting I have ever seen. I am amazed at the people who gave this four stars.
What movie were they watching?
