The Wrong Guy

My wife and I were out of town overnight this week, and we watch hotel TV.

We don't get any TV at our house ('cept for iTunes and Netflix), so we like to check in on the dreck passing for entertainment when we travel. We almost never particularly enjoy it, but we always do it.

This time, though, I stumbled onto a film that I enjoyed SO much I was astounded. It was "The Wrong Guy" (1997), co-written by and starring Dave Foley. It's a goofy and good-natured Hitchcock chase-movie spoof. The sweetness of its tone reminded me of "The Jerk" at times. I'm telling you, me and this movie, we just clicked. I at least chuckled at almost every joke and had me some real good actual laughs, too.

So there.

I couldn't find a trailer to show you, so here's a fairly poor YouTube clip. Even his SUIT looks Hitchcocky!
