Reviews for Wrongfully Accused
A mind- numbingly awful motion picture that has a better chance of making a viewer physically ill than of provoking a genuine laugh.
There's something tired and rotten about this Fugitive send-up right from the start.
Even the audience at the free promotional screening was hard-pressed to find many genuine laughs in this purportedly comic abomination.
An understandably tired-looking Leslie Nielsen should seriously consider retirement from this tired genre.
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.
The best gags pop up in the closing credits, which should tell you something about what precedes the finale.
The constant movie references didn't make me laugh, they made me want to see other movies. Better movies.
No, Wrongfully Accused is not fall-down funny, but it offers some riotous moments.
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.
An entertaining burlesque of The Fugitive. Sit down (watch out for that whoopee cushion!) and enjoy the latest Hollywood sendup of films immemorial.
