The Wrong Guy Ratings & Reviews

    How did I miss this movie? Any fan of Kids in the Hall will like this movie. It's absolutely dated, but its that same stupid edge of absurdist humor the Kids are famous for. I genuinely can't believe I've never heard of it. It's just good stupid humor.

    The movie is trying to be a comedy. Its has about 10 good jokes which appear in the final hostage scene. It would have been better as a 15mim sketch. The rest of the movie has nothing worth noting.
