I have no idea why this film is so unknown. I love it and it's so funny, of course, if you like dumb humor.The main character Nelson doesn't get a promotion at his job, so he goes crazy in front of all his co-workers. He later finds out his dead boss and convinced that police will be looking for him, escapes (fugitive style). The thing is, the police knows Nelson didn't kill his boss, because there was a camera at boss' office.Nelson however, tries to escape from the police, being careful of every step, while the real killer is convinced Nelson is after him (because certain coincidences occur).The movie is great, Foley's acting is great and the whole movie has this positive feel to it. Some jokes are so... dumb and funny, you laugh just because of the dumbness of them.All in all, I own the original DVD, and people should see this movie, because it really is great!

wow. who even knew this movie existed? well i was in virgin records and saw it on the shelf. suffice to say i rented it, and i LOVED it. i plan on buying it most likely. the beginning is a little slow but it's one of those comedies where you find yourself in tears by the middle. just terrific acting, especially by the investigator who loves to spend the gov't money on restaurants and theater - he really steals the show. seriously tho, if you enjoy great comedies with a silly edge - ex. The Naked Gun & Saving Silverman - you will enjoy this.by the way - the movie was fairly kid appropriate. i think ages 10+ should have no problems watching this.

I've been a fan of Dave Foley for a while since his days on KIDS IN THE HALL, the underrated and oft-forgotten Canadian SCTV/SNL-esque sketch show.Here his talents are wasted in a plot that tries to introduce SO many cliches that it isn't even funny. It starts out as a case of mistaken identity (geek framed for murder), escalates into an unfunny Fugitive parody with similarly geeky and overweight cops chasing him around, then finds its way into a corner and tries to escape by introducing a mandatory romantic interest subplot with Jennifer Tilly and her "father" (Joe Flaherty) being the subject of Foley's compassion.Ah, forget about it. Flaherty is pretty funny in his small role and it's always great to see character-comedians like Foley and Flaherty being given screen-time -- but unfortunately the whole just careens out of control and doesn't know where to go...

I didn't know what to expect, but from near the beginning this film is comedy genius.The name scene in the hospital ranks with some of my favourites ever. The humour is in the detailing in much of the film, with good contribution from the lazy detective. I have to write some more, as it wont let me submit unless there's 10 lines, luckily I'm happy to rant a bit about Dave Foley's performance. Never seen him before, but will look out for him in future. He makes this film rather special. What was really excellent about this film (and essential to the humour in the plot) was the early twist revealing that this wasn't going to be another predictable wrong guy film. I wont reveal it as don't want to spoil it, but its very cleverly done.All in all, highly recommended.
