Directed by: David Steinberg Starring: Dave Foley, Jennifer Tilly, Colm Feore The Wrong Guy, starring Dave Foley of Kids in the Hall fame, is a bizarrely under-appreciated title. It tells the story of Nelson Hibbert, a petty, lame, and very very stupid office executive who accidentaly stumbes across his boss' corpse, hours after threatening to kill him. He freaks out like a little girl, and immediately goes on the run from the law, thinking he will be the prime suspect. Little does he know that there is a clear video of the real killer, and no one at all is chasing him. This does little to stop his wacky adventure in the general direction of Mexico, during which he meets and falls for a sweet, kind, narcoleptic farm girl named Lynn (Jennifer Tilley). Meanwhile, the real killer is on the run as well, and has Nelson (very wrongly) pegged as a supercop, always one step ahead of him. It's hilariously lowbrow and wacky stuff all along the way, and if you like Kids in the Hall, you should definitely give it a look. There's quite a nice smattering of Canadian talent in the movie, including Kevin McDonald, Dan Redican, the Barenaked Ladies, and of course, Foley himself. It's really a shame this movie didn't get more attention, I encourage you all to go and find the DVD post-haste. RATING: 4.5 PROS: Hilarious and Wacky CONS: Somewhat low-budget at times ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120536/
