O Suspeito Errado

I have no idea how I made it so long without seeing this movie. I passed it on the video store shelf for years. WHAT A MISTAKE! This movie is so funny it hurts. I actually cried through some of the scenes, it was so hilarious. I found myself rewinding parts and having to stop the movie so I could get control of myself. If you are in the mood for belly laughter and watching a silly/corny/crazy/wonderful comedy, then The Wrong Guy is perfect!

I have no idea why this film is so unknown. I love it and it's so funny, of course, if you like dumb humor.

The main character Nelson doesn't get a promotion at his job, so he goes crazy in front of all his co-workers. He later finds out his dead boss and convinced that police will be looking for him, escapes (fugitive style). The thing is, the police knows Nelson didn't kill his boss, because there was a camera at boss' office.

Nelson however, tries to escape from the police, being careful of every step, while the real killer is convinced Nelson is after him (because certain coincidences occur).

The movie is great, Foley's acting is great and the whole movie has this positive feel to it. Some jokes are so... dumb and funny, you laugh just because of the dumbness of them.

All in all, I own the original DVD, and people should see this movie, because it really is great!

Funny. What else would you expect from a movie starring Dave Foley?

"Today is the big day!" Dave had me cracking up right from the beginning. Already, you see that Nelson Hibbert can really be so WRONG!! The series of events implicating him are dark, but effectively funny. I guess his character is so clueless that it already adds the comedy ingredient throughout the film. Watch for Jennifer Tilly: her scenes with Foley are fun to watch. Good chemistry!

Some more standouts include the detective whose laidback, logic flawed, corrupt methods are surprisingly quite effective and humorous. The crazy driver guy has got to be the nut of the film...what a kook!! Oh, I must mention that the scene between Foley and Kevin McDonald is hilarious. Their timing is awesome and they feed off each other so well.

Overall, a dark comedy with a moral as well! Funny stuff.

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.

When I saw this movie I laughed so hard I actually had to pause it at times so I wouldn't miss anything. I thought perhaps it was "just me", and that most people might not find it all that funny (it has STUPID humour) but I have very rarely heard of anyone who has not found it equally hilarious.

WATCH IT!!! you won't regret it. The train sequence alone makes it worth seeing. I can't count how many times I've recalled a scene or a line from this movie and laughed out loud, even in public, which has given me plenty of opportunities to spread the word about this hilarious movie.

Dave Foley is brilliant! It's a shame that this movie never really saw the light of day, but I truly believe it's time will come. If you enjoy comedy, don't miss out on this film.
