It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Over the years, we have watched "The Wrong Guy" many, many times: This is one of the funniest movies ever made! The actors are the best/absolutely hilarious, every scene is great, the dialog is clever and quotable! David Anthony Higgins is hysterical! His dry delivery of his lines couldn't be funnier! (Not to mention, his hilarious bit as the unseen radio DJ!) Everything about this film is 10 stars! The direction and editing is perfect and clever! Dave Foley is so funny - and it's great to see comic genius Joe Flaherty! There isn't one boring second in "The Wrong Guy"! We heartily recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a great comedy! You won't be disappointed!

I have always been a huge fan of Dave Foley, he was my favorite guy in the 'Kids in the Hall' show. And unfortunately, I was not aware of this wonderful film until about a year ago when I went to blockbuster and found it in the bargain bin. The description didn't seem amazing, I thought it would be mediocre at best with a few amusing or dry witty jokes...boy was I wrong! The dialog is fantastic, the movie is through-and-through something to make you laugh uncontrollably. You might not want to be drinking anything when watching the film however, as you might end up choking or coughing it up all over yourself...that's just how hilarious 'The Wrong Guy' is!

It should probably be said that if you don't "get" the Kids in the Hall's brand of comedy, you'll snooze at 'The Wrong Guy'. However, if you like the KITH this will delight you. It plays like a 90-minute sketch, and I mean it in a good way. The main character conflates Dave's utilitarian and classic dumb guy character, Bruno Puntz-Jones, bad doctor, and moshed up in a sort of AT&Love setting with a little bit of the door to door axe murderer. Throw in Jennifer Tilly in a see-through nightie and you've got some good fun. For a low budget film, they did a really good job of continuity and keeping the pacing brisk.For a good inside joke, note the brand name of the tainted ham.

While my grade of "10" is perhaps written in the heat of a happy moment, given what a comedy is supposed to do (and how utterly most fail), I stand by my 10. Wrong Guy's as silly as it is smart, and Dave Foley gives one of those performances that make me understand how people can get all weak kneed at the idea of Buster Keaton or Charlie Chaplin, etc. You're just so happy to be watching every little thing he does. At the end of the movie I almost wished I'd been more depressed before it, because I had left over joy from watching. Colm Feore perfect counterpoint as not the wrong guy. I loved it! Oh, I guess I need 10 lines of text. there! Wrong Guy so great!
