Wrongfully Accused of being a comedy worthy of Leslie Nielsen's involvement, this misbegotten spoof might have fewer laughs than the straight-faced thriller that inspired it. Read critic reviews

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

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.

Beyond stupid.
January 1, 2000 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review… -
A mind- numbingly awful motion picture that has a better chance of making a viewer physically ill than of provoking a genuine laugh.

Audience Reviews for Wrongfully Accused

Jun 14, 2020Leslie Nielson is the only reason you'll be viewing this film. Pat Proft has been a writer of these slapstick films and I had been interested to see Wrongfully Accused again. Sadly Wrongfully Accused lacks the skills of Zucker and Abrahams. The film attempts a joke every minute and the success of these varies. The overall storyline can't withstand the length and the rapid succession of attempted jokes will test your patience. Nielson is great in the role and he clearly had the talent for these satire films. Proft staged the film quite well but not having a filmmaker to push the storyline, it's obvious the jokes were excessive. I enjoyed this film when it was first released but it isn't a great film and the jokes will mainly appeal to the easily pleased. 14/06/2020Brendan O Super Reviewer

Feb 27, 2010If you're looking for a cerebral workout, then you are in the wrong place but since "The Fugitive" is one of my all-time favorite movies, this one was fun and enjoyable for me to watch. The movie was laugh-out-loud funny with tons of sexual innuendos. Spoofing The Fugitive, Leslie Nielsen takes us on a wild ride that combines Mission Impossible, Braveheart and The Titantic and has enough quick, witty gags to make you split your sides. All in all, if you haven't seen this movie before, see it soon.Deb S Super Reviewer

Jun 10, 2009Pat Proft directed this satire on The Fugitive with a plot parody of the 1993 Harrison Ford movie, which in turn was inspired by the 1963-67 ABC television series with David Janssen. Violinist Ryan Harrison (Leslie Nielsen) romances the wife (Kelly Le Brock) of his benefactor (Michael York), a man murdered by mercenaries. Naturally, Ryan gets blamed. Headed for Death Row, he's on a bus involved in a train accident and escapes in order to locate the real killer -- a one-armed, one-legged, one-eyed man. Tracking Ryan is Lt. Fergus Falls (Richard Crenna). Other movies lampooned here include Titanic, Clear and Present Danger, Chinatown, Mission Impossible, and North by Northwest.Martin D Super Reviewer
