Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
rorymacveigh When it came out in 1998, this film was hammered critically, but to be honest, I really don't have a problem with it, in fact, it is probably one of the funniest films I've ever seen, spoofing so many famous moments in film history including The Empire Strikes Back, North by Northwest, The Fugitive and many other timeless classics. That may not sound like much to begin with, but when you see how these spoofs are woven into the story, you'll be laughing your socks off in no time. Also the way they transform these spoofs is fantastic as well, changing the overbearingly large Bi-plane from North by Northwest into an RC model, and having Leslie Nielsen's character washing and polishing the van during a ripped off version of the Blockade scene from Clear and Present Danger. On top of that, the acting is very good as well, with Leslie Nielsen playing the wrongfully accused Ryan Harrison, a man on the run for the murder of a rich statesman who was in fact killed as part of a Terrorist Insurtion. The story is you're basic sort of thing, ripping off the story of the Fugitive mainly, but other than that, it's the humour you've got to keep an eye out for. I recommend it to everyone!
JJ19grey08 The turn of the century ignited a flame from what was once a mere glowing coal in the spoof industry. With films such as Epic Movie, Superhero Movie and Disaster Movie, it has become easy to see why this genre is mostly seen as feeble, with even weaker reviews to support it.Wrongfully Accused however is one of the very few spoof films that are worth giving a second look. Leslie Nielsen lends his natural parody mindset to this 1998 spoof of The Fugitive, as well as a cleverly delivered collection of other films such as Braveheart, Mission Impossible and Titanic. Ryan Harrison (played by Nielsen) has been, as the title states, wrongfully accused. Of murder that is. While running from the police, led by Lieutenant Fergus Falls (portrayed by Richard Crenna of Rambo fame), Harrison manages to not only escape from execution, but also disguise himself as a gardener, a fisherman named Buzz'n Frog, and a doctor, while acting as a private detective himself in an attempt to stop the killing of Sir Robert McKintyre from those who have framed him.As a Leslie Nielsen fan who appreciates his unique and natural sense of humor and expression, I would say Wrongfully Accused is one of his best films – a winner in not only the spoof genre, but in the comedy world as a whole. The greater your knowledge of films, the more you will appreciate this movie. Wrongfully Accused boasts many memorable quotes and hilarious scenes which never lose their flavor, and will put a smile on the faces of the whole family, young and old. Although it lacks blockbuster special effects and a strong original storyline, I feel it is a true comedy classic worth nothing less than 8 out of 10.
legendaryunderdog Pat Proft's directorial debut is a grand slam in my opinion, Leslie Nielsen is hilarious in this movie, he delivers some of the funniest Naked Gun inspired lines of all the characters.I would recommend this movie to anyone who just wants to chill out watch a silly movie and get some real laughs. Awesome spoof flick. Watch for old Colonel Trautman from the Rambo flicks <->(Richard Crenna). There is not a serious moment in this movie and if it seems serious at all just wait a few seconds and something silly will happen, I made a point to try that out in this movie and it never fails, it seems like every ten to fifteen seconds something crazy is going on whether on screen in front of you or in the background.
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.
