The constant movie references didn't make me laugh, they made me want to see other movies. Better movies.

Reviews for Wrongfully Accused
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 only person who fares well here is York, and that's because his character is killed off just minutes into the picture.
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.
No one will remember Wrongfully Accused in a year, but...Nielsen has assured himself a place in comic history.
Even the audience at the free promotional screening was hard-pressed to find many genuine laughs in this purportedly comic abomination.
No, Wrongfully Accused is not fall-down funny, but it offers some riotous moments.
An entertaining burlesque of The Fugitive. Sit down (watch out for that whoopee cushion!) and enjoy the latest Hollywood sendup of films immemorial.
