Admirable film.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

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).

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.

Leslie Nielsen returns with another hilarious spoof, this time starring as violinist Ryan Harrison, who is framed for murdering Hibbing Goodhue. He needs to find a mysterious one-eyed, one-armed, one-legged man to get to the truth of the crime, all the while trying to hide from the pursuing authorities.As with any Nielson spoofs, there are non-stop gags from start to finish that will have you horse-laughing. Slapstick humor is abundance here, but did get a little old in a plot where the momentum didn't flow as quick as Nielsen's earlier spoof movies like the Naked Gun films. However, the slapstick humor is done tastefully in a way that is doesn't get borderline annoying (i.e., forced comedy).The characters are calm and serious as always in their demeanor, especially Nielson, spoofing his "The Fugitive" character well. Stars Wars, Titanic, Back to the Future and Anaconda are among the many movies hilariously spoofed - all giving us another entertaining and laughable comedy.Grade B-

If it stars Leslie Nielsen, you know that it's just a totally silly spoof. In this case, they're spoofing "The Fugitive", with Nielsen as a witless violinist framed for murder. Of, this is just a springboard for a nonsense gag every couple of seconds, often meaning that figures of speech become literal. Or something very erotic.True, the critics will say that these sorts of movies are completely ridiculous - maybe even worthless - but anything poking fun at "Titanic" as they do at the end gets an A in my book. "Wrongfully Accused" is a nice, silly excuse for a good time. And you're sure to have one. Also starring Richard Crenna, Melinda McGraw, Kelly LeBrock, Michael York and Sandra Bernhardt.And remember: nobody cares about the following people...
