With the success of There's Something About Mary, the brothers Farrelly would seem to have inherited the dumb-comedy crown from the various talents who made Airplane! and its many descendants: Top Secret!, The Naked Gun, Hot Shots!. For the most part, that's true, but as Wrongfully Accused proves, there's a bit of life in the old shtick. Pat Proft, a screenwriter on The Naked Gun series and Hot Shots!, makes his directorial debut with this farce, which stars--surprise, surprise--Leslie Nielsen in a parody of the feature version of The Fugitive. More than that: Proft piles on joking references to a host of other dramas, including Casablanca, Mission: Impossible, and Braveheart. While the persistence of these inter-movie gags can wear a viewer down a bit, the fact is some of the silly stuff really does hit its target. If the progeny of Airplane! were to end with this movie, it would be a worthy way to say farewell to a once-good idea. The DVD includes trailers, a game, Dolby, audiovisual production notes, cast interviews, biographies and filmographies, English and French soundtracks, and English, French, and Spanish subtitles. With Kelly LeBrock, Richard Crenna, Sandra Bernhard, and Michael York. --Tom Keogh

Movie great -- this copy was damaged at the end.......2007-05-13

The movie was very funny, but the tape was damaged at the end. We had seen it before, but we wanted a copy for home.

IF YOU LOVE TO LAUGH!!!!.......2006-07-29

IF YOU ENJOY LESLIE NIELSEN FILMS...YOU WILL LOVE THIS ONE...LOTS OF LAUGHS, ETC.

I never thought I would say a parody of the great 'The Fugative' would be this good, but Leslie Nielsen, take a bow!.......2006-05-16

Absolutely hilarious take off on 'The
Fugative', 'Braveheart' and 'America's
Most Wanted', with timely cameos by
many, But the late Richard Crenna
(Summer Rental ***.5's/Rambo[nehead]
movies) steals the show. A PITY he
didn't get to work with his alter
ego, Tommy Lee Jones! Best Nielsen
spoof yet! But don't miss 'Spy Hard'
or '2001: A Space Travesty'!!!!!!!!!

One of most funny movie of the century.......2006-05-09

Love this movie, enjoyed it until the end of the movie.

A Ton Of Fun For Film Buffs.......2006-05-03

Since "The Fugitive" is one of my all-time favorites, this takeoff on it was a lot of fun for me to watch. Hey, sometimes it's best to laugh at ourselves and the things we like. For much of it, this movie was laugh-out-loud funny.

It helped not only to know "The Fugitive" story well but also "North By Northwest," "Casablanca" "Titantic," "Star Wars" and many, many other films, both classic and modern-day. The more familiar you are with movies, the more of these "inside" jokes are going to make you laugh. Being a movie buff, a lot of these gags connected and made me really have a good time watching this Leslie Nielsen farce.

Be warned, parents: this is not a family comedy. There are tons of sexual innuendos, so typical of today's comedies....but overall, this is really funny stuff and highly recommended if you watched a lot films in your lifetime.
