The Wrong Guy (1997)
7/10
It's not bad - but you have to like deadpan humour

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.
