Wrongfully Auccused as you can probably tell by the poster is a parody of the 1993 Harrison Ford flick "The Fugitive" starring Leslie Nielsen as 'Ryan Harrison'. The film didn't seem to have been released in the UK as I couldn't find a DVD or even a VHS anywhere so I imported my DVD copy from France (with English audio) to watch it and I've got to admit, I was quiet surprised. I will say, the first 30 minutes I was howling with laughter (especially the bus and train escape scene) but the rest of the film was still pretty funny but not as much 'laugh out loud' jokes as the first half. My only main problem with the film is that some scenes towards the end were a bit slow with not that funny jokes, other than that, It was a good comedy. Definitely a lot funnier than Dracula: Dead and Loving or any of the overrated 'Scary Movie' movies you get these days, also Leslie Nielsen looks like he's having fun in this movie unlike Dracula which he looked like he was sleepwalking and board throughout. BTW The Simpsons Movie ripped off one of the jokes from this movie (specifically the one where Ryan Harrison is in the fishing store and sees a 'wanted' poster of him and decides to draw over his face then the store clerk sees a guy that looks the same as the scribbled Ryan Harrison poster).

MOVIE 4 OF 4 OF MY LESLIE NIELSEN QUADRILOGYLeslie Nielsen and his silver hair star as violinist Ryan Harrison. Ryan was wrongfully accused of murder, and he tries to get away while seeking evidence of being innocent by a one-eyed, one-legged, one- armed man.Yes, the movie is just as bizarre as it sounds. In all honesty, I expected too little humor. But it turns out the movie had TOO MUCH humor. It was joke after joke after joke, non stop. And I loved it. Most jokes, however, were miss. There were a few hit jokes that I laughed or almost laughed at. For one, where the lady gives Ryan a giant drink with a giant umbrella, and when Ryan was impersonating a doctor, once poking a fat man's tummy and saying "He's pregnant".Much of the humor in this film is so absurd that it just can't be forgotten. And I have not forgotten this flick. The biggest problem, however, is that the movie was so wrapped up in its comedy that it hardly developed any of its characters. I didn't even know the romantic interest's name until I saw the credits.I have little to say about this one. It was decent, jokes weren't all that great but they worked. All in all I give a 6.

Wrongfully Accused is what you expect out of a parody. The best way to describe it is "average". You get a few good laughs but that's it. It references a lot of other famous films however these references are stretched, making the flow of the film choppy. The humour is also stretched, low and at times, a bit strained. It seems as if the writer was trying to make the script as funny as possible, but tried too hard. The result is a film that relies too much on sexual double entendres and visual gags. You'll get a few laughs out of it but don't expect much else. Go in with the right attitude and you will enjoy it.

i am a big fan of leslie nielsen and i have seen all his comedies, and i must say that naked gun trilogy aside this is probably one of his funniest movies, like i said before there's never really any plot in his movies, and this one is no exception although it loosely spoofs the fugitive as well as plenty of other movies, and leslie nielsen is hilarious and gives one of his funniest performances, it's up there with the naked gun movies and police squad for laughs and is great from start to finish. it's a better put together movie than spy hard and has some impressive production values for it's kind, and the script is actually well written for its kind. all in all a must see comedy and one of leslie nielsen's funniest movies.
