'Wrongfully Accused' is a decent entertainer, that turns out to be a satisfying parody. The humor works & it's lead-star, the amazing Leslie Nielsen, does exceedingly well.'Wrongfully Accused' Synopsis: Ryan Harrison is framed for murder and must prove himself innocent by finding a mysterious one-eyed, one-armed, one-legged man after escaping from a bus accident on the way to jail.'Wrongfully Accused' is a parody of the 1993 film The Fugitive, And I must say, this parody is funny. The First-Hour is superb & raises a lot of laughs, the Second-Hour drags a bit, but sails off smoothly. Pat Proft's Screenplay & Direction, both, are wild & confident. Cinematography is fine. Performance-Wise: Leslie Nielsen does exceedingly well in the central role. The late actor once again plays poker-face & raises a lot of genuine laughs. Richard Crenna is fantastic. Kelly Le Brock is ordinary. Melinda McGraw, Michael York & Sandra Bernhard, lend support. On the whole, If you're a fan of parodies, then 'Wrongfully Accused', should be in your agenda.

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.

This movie was a series of bad out takes and failed jokes from other movies. That's my guess. The jokes were so obvious and flubbed so badly. However, I kept thinking now that I have seen Borat, every bad movie seems less bad. At least it wasn't entitled "Wrongfully Accused - A Cultural Study of Minnesota". It was just a movie. I didn't pretend to be about something. I think the producers knew that this movie was a dud. It was a movie that was intended to be bad. That's a lot more honest than Borat, which pretended to be about something. The vulgarity and crudeness in Wrongfully Accused was at least tamer and less repugnant than in Borat. At some point, the movie did get funny for awhile. I thought the Mission Impossible "computer scene" was hilarious. I was rolling on the floor. The movie was bad, but at least it mocked it's badness. Even at the end, with the Titanic scene, the point was there was no romantic ending. Even the romance, was an excuse for bad jokes. So, in conclusion, it was better than Borat. It didn't pretend to be about anything significant.

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...
