OK...I've worked with Dave Foley and in person, he is just hilarious.For the most part, this movie just drags barely along...but there is something truly fantastic about this film...and I can't put the exact fact of what reason that is.It's not the ending...it's not the beginning and it's not the middle...so where does it lay? Well it's gingerly sprinkled throughout the movie - between the silly cop antics, the narcoleptic farm girl. It's the little pieces that make this movie funny...not the overall story - because it just doesn't have the glue for it.However this is far better than any Tom Hanks - Meg Ryan romantic comedy ever was or will be. This has heart...Of course it could have been written a bit better. The ending could have been more tight and some of the dialogue could have been more tight. There could have been more action and some really awesome stunts...but even without all that needed input, this film still manages to entertain.

Aaaah! Aaaah! Aaaah! The moment the opening credits(if that's what they're called) began, I knew I was in for a treat. A great dumb brilliant parody treat. The hospital scene is a favorite, of course because of Mr. Jones. The phone call to his fiancé where he describes his lonely desperate life. Crying in the office was funny. Some parts were overdone. For example, one ham would have done it. My husband was shown this when he was in a hyperbaric chamber and it cracked him up. We would have never known about it if the nurses hadn't played it for him. There are a lot of clever and funny things in this movie, but for me, bottom line is: Aaaah! Aaaah! Aaaah!

Makes me wonder what other gems the Kids in the Hall have gone on to create.David FOLEY, perhaps the funniest Kid in the Hall, does a great job in this, and the funny scenes don't stop getting funnier until the funniest joke in the movie. You'll know it when you see it.The entire premise is wonderful, and all of the acting works very well. Everything is put together nicely ,as it should in a comedy, and the whole event feels like a super-extended Kids in the Hall sketch.After that, it just kind of levels off into 'entertaining funny' rather than 'sweet-jesus-you-gotta-see-this funny'.A great way to spend an hour and 30-something minutes.

Yes this film looks like it will be yet another terrible "dumb and dumber" type film but it really is rather well scripted and ...well down right funny. I am a huge Kids In The Hall fan but we got to see a few episodes of their series over here in the UK and that was it, i bought Brain Candy whilst in New York and and managed to tape a few of the KITH shows when they aired briefly over here in the mid 90's. I have searched for The Wrong Guy but it isn't available over here (like anything KITH related) but the BBC happned to show The Wrong Guy a couple of days ago and i laughed from the start to the end. It is s very simple idea for a film but it is made up of great little comedy moments that keep you laughing, even as a KITH fan i didn't expect it to be as funny as it was. Dave Foley really showed how great he can be as a writer and actor and how a simple idea can turn into something rather special, and that is what this film is SPECIAL. Watch this film if you get the chance and ..... start showing the KITH in the UK again or at least make the series available over here. 7 out of 10 Rotten Addict
