memun-83577 The Wrong Guy is a movie I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a good laugh. It's one of my favourites and I could watch it again and again. It is about a guy named Nelson Hibbert who is on the run from the police for a murder he didn't commit but the kicker is.. no one actually thinks he did it. He's on the run for no reason and it's hilarious! The cast is fantastic and perfect at dumb/awkward comedy. Also, there are also so many quotable moments in this movie, I love it.

John Holden Hilarious and a complete surprise on this one. Starts off slowly - and Foley is perhaps a bit too OTT in the boardroom - but Foley starts to hit his stride when he goes on the run and there's just one laugh-out-loud scene after another.Much of the credit has to go to the writing - Foley and Higgins (who almost steals the show as the detective). Great dialogue, a few oddball subplots, and just one funny scene after another.I saw this along with Elf. It's a great comparison: Elf has almost no funny scenes; Ferrell's humor consists of acting like a retarded child and eating candy; and it's dull almost without relief.The wrong guy OTOH is everything you want in a comedy. Once again, it's not big Hollywood that makes us think and laugh.

Nick Marino wow. who even knew this movie existed? well i was in virgin records and saw it on the shelf. suffice to say i rented it, and i LOVED it. i plan on buying it most likely. the beginning is a little slow but it's one of those comedies where you find yourself in tears by the middle. just terrific acting, especially by the investigator who loves to spend the gov't money on restaurants and theater - he really steals the show. seriously tho, if you enjoy great comedies with a silly edge - ex. The Naked Gun & Saving Silverman - you will enjoy this.by the way - the movie was fairly kid appropriate. i think ages 10+ should have no problems watching this.

Barry (imdb-2378) I didn't know what to expect, but from near the beginning this film is comedy genius.The name scene in the hospital ranks with some of my favourites ever. The humour is in the detailing in much of the film, with good contribution from the lazy detective. I have to write some more, as it wont let me submit unless there's 10 lines, luckily I'm happy to rant a bit about Dave Foley's performance. Never seen him before, but will look out for him in future. He makes this film rather special. What was really excellent about this film (and essential to the humour in the plot) was the early twist revealing that this wasn't going to be another predictable wrong guy film. I wont reveal it as don't want to spoil it, but its very cleverly done.All in all, highly recommended.
