That was an excellent one.

... View MoreMOVIE 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.
... View MoreWhen 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!
... View MoreThis 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.
... View MoreIf 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...
