The Wrong Guy
Dave Foley plays a shallow, self-absorbed, and really, really stupid corporate executive who hits the lonely road as a clueless fugitive running from a murder he didn't commit. In fact, despite his best efforts to incriminate himself, he's not even a suspect. Not that you could convince him of that.The Wrong Guyis a slow starter--Foley's obsequious idiot is not a particularly likeable chap--but once he falls for narcoleptic small-town sweetie Jennifer Tilly (who has surprisingly good chemistry with Foley) the film slows to his lazy comic pace and the laughs start to come. Colm Feore costars as the stone cold killer who pegs Foley's slack-jawed half-wit as a cunning master detective dogging his trail. As you can see this is hardly sophisticated stuff, but fans of Foley's understated reactions to absurd situations will get a kick out of this utter silliness.--Sean Axmaker
