An entertaining burlesque of The Fugitive. Sit down (watch out for that whoopee cushion!) and enjoy the latest Hollywood sendup of films immemorial.

No one will remember Wrongfully Accused in a year, but...Nielsen has assured himself a place in comic history.

If and when you go see it, don't go in with an expectation of seeing something cinematically superior, but do expect a good time.

I'd say it's worth a rent.

No, Wrongfully Accused is not fall-down funny, but it offers some riotous moments.

Wait for the end credits -- the mindless nonsense interspersed between the cast and crew lists is off the wall.

Unfortunately, most of the jokes just aren't very funny.

The rest of the cast doesn't look like it's having nearly as much fun as Nielsen is, but they are all exceedingly game and that's all that matters in these movies.

Clearly, Pat Proft was wearing too many hats, and both his writing and his directing suffered for it.

When a film critic starts throwing popcorn at the movie screen, something has to be wrong.

A mind- numbingly awful motion picture that has a better chance of making a viewer physically ill than of provoking a genuine laugh.

The only person who fares well here is York, and that's because his character is killed off just minutes into the picture.

Even the audience at the free promotional screening was hard-pressed to find many genuine laughs in this purportedly comic abomination.

The best gags pop up in the closing credits, which should tell you something about what precedes the finale.
