DVR_Brale I've always thought that making a good parody isn't an easy job. David Proft makes it look easy. There are so many movies being ridiculed in so many ways and so often that's almost impossible you won't be laughing at least a couple of times.Jokes literally appear every ten seconds continually from beginning to the end. If you're capable of recognizing movies that are made fun of, you'll enjoy even more; and there are plenty of those! Leslie Nielsen gave a classical performance where he finds himself in plenty over-the-top situations, be it as a violinist, doctor or convict.Yes, there are some things done badly in Wrongfully Accused but the point is that those things just don't matter in this type of film. This kind of humor is just preposterous and smart. The more quaint it is, the better. The same goes for some sloppy editing - it's done that way in purpose! If you like Leslie Nielsen, you're gonna love this one! And don't watch it too late: you don't wanna wake up entire block laughing.
Leofwine_draca This fast-paced comedic take on THE FUGITIVE is definitely one for those who are already acquainted with Nielsen's own brand of humour, as it's not his best film. However it is a highly enjoyable one with a rapid succession of gags and jokes, most of them lowbrow, but at least there are so many that you are bound to find at least some funny. Also included are the expected movie gags ranging from FIELD OF DREAMS to MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE to BRAVEHEART and lots in between. Indeed there's so much going on that dedicated fans will probably want to watch a couple of times to check out all the jokes they missed.Nielsen is on top form as usual, and supported by an able cast including the likes of Richard Crenna and Michael York. Highlights include the hospital scene, the shoot-out at the end, and lots in between. Although only for acquired tastes, I personally love this type of silly humour and prefer it to the "gross-out" humour which has become so popular as of late. I'd take this over American PIE any day.
nialljames 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.
denis888 Oh, what a sheer delight! If I had to choose one of the most hilarious, and one of the funniest films ever made, I'd choose this one. What a great entertainment, what a clever fun, mighty pun and a merciless satire on those films that it mocks at! Mr. Nielsen is as usual at his best. His impossibly funny face, his over the place, exaggerated gestures and intonations are merciless stabs and jeers at all those "hot actors", who really need to be shaken a bit. The plot is based on several films, and it interweaves all the plot lines so impeccably easily that you have to check every time what film it makes a parody on. The main idea is pretty simple - a famous violinist, Ryan Harrison is wrongly accused of murder he did not commit, so he has to become a run-away. He is chased by an incredibly silly police, and he has to overcome so many hardships - the wild wood, train chase, computer problems, shootout. The clever stabs on Mission Impossible, BraveHeart, as well as Stephen King's Corn fields are just brilliant. You cannot change your breath, so hard your laugh is. The main hero finally finds one-eyed, one-armed, one-legged Irish terrorist, Sean McGhrea, and the revenge is sweet, but you really must see that final scene on Titanic board, when the lovely romantic couple is cruelly hit by a low-hanging bridge. Impossibly funny, really smart, clever, merry and very bold. Excellent film.
