Sadly Over-hyped

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

MOVIE 4 OF 4 OF MY LESLIE NIELSEN QUADRILOGYLeslie Nielsen and his silver hair star as violinist Ryan Harrison. Ryan was wrongfully accused of murder, and he tries to get away while seeking evidence of being innocent by a one-eyed, one-legged, one- armed man.Yes, the movie is just as bizarre as it sounds. In all honesty, I expected too little humor. But it turns out the movie had TOO MUCH humor. It was joke after joke after joke, non stop. And I loved it. Most jokes, however, were miss. There were a few hit jokes that I laughed or almost laughed at. For one, where the lady gives Ryan a giant drink with a giant umbrella, and when Ryan was impersonating a doctor, once poking a fat man's tummy and saying "He's pregnant".Much of the humor in this film is so absurd that it just can't be forgotten. And I have not forgotten this flick. The biggest problem, however, is that the movie was so wrapped up in its comedy that it hardly developed any of its characters. I didn't even know the romantic interest's name until I saw the credits.I have little to say about this one. It was decent, jokes weren't all that great but they worked. All in all I give a 6.

Wrongfully Accused is what you expect out of a parody. The best way to describe it is "average". You get a few good laughs but that's it. It references a lot of other famous films however these references are stretched, making the flow of the film choppy. The humour is also stretched, low and at times, a bit strained. It seems as if the writer was trying to make the script as funny as possible, but tried too hard. The result is a film that relies too much on sexual double entendres and visual gags. You'll get a few laughs out of it but don't expect much else. Go in with the right attitude and you will enjoy it.

The turn of the century ignited a flame from what was once a mere glowing coal in the spoof industry. With films such as Epic Movie, Superhero Movie and Disaster Movie, it has become easy to see why this genre is mostly seen as feeble, with even weaker reviews to support it.Wrongfully Accused however is one of the very few spoof films that are worth giving a second look. Leslie Nielsen lends his natural parody mindset to this 1998 spoof of The Fugitive, as well as a cleverly delivered collection of other films such as Braveheart, Mission Impossible and Titanic. Ryan Harrison (played by Nielsen) has been, as the title states, wrongfully accused. Of murder that is. While running from the police, led by Lieutenant Fergus Falls (portrayed by Richard Crenna of Rambo fame), Harrison manages to not only escape from execution, but also disguise himself as a gardener, a fisherman named Buzz'n Frog, and a doctor, while acting as a private detective himself in an attempt to stop the killing of Sir Robert McKintyre from those who have framed him.As a Leslie Nielsen fan who appreciates his unique and natural sense of humor and expression, I would say Wrongfully Accused is one of his best films – a winner in not only the spoof genre, but in the comedy world as a whole. The greater your knowledge of films, the more you will appreciate this movie. Wrongfully Accused boasts many memorable quotes and hilarious scenes which never lose their flavor, and will put a smile on the faces of the whole family, young and old. Although it lacks blockbuster special effects and a strong original storyline, I feel it is a true comedy classic worth nothing less than 8 out of 10.

i am a big fan of leslie nielsen and i have seen all his comedies, and i must say that naked gun trilogy aside this is probably one of his funniest movies, like i said before there's never really any plot in his movies, and this one is no exception although it loosely spoofs the fugitive as well as plenty of other movies, and leslie nielsen is hilarious and gives one of his funniest performances, it's up there with the naked gun movies and police squad for laughs and is great from start to finish. it's a better put together movie than spy hard and has some impressive production values for it's kind, and the script is actually well written for its kind. all in all a must see comedy and one of leslie nielsen's funniest movies.
