Summary: The Right Guys!
Review: Hi, movie fans! If you like movies, watch this hilarious comedy! It stars Louie Anderson (of TV's Family Feud), and is about 5 guys who were cub scouts as kids that meet again for the 1st time since then, and go on a camping trip, chased by two men who were cub scouts along with 'em who steal their engine and 1 thinks it is just SMALL!, 3 killers (the leader played by John Goodman) who think they are the FBI, and a SQUIRREL, with lots of laughs along the way. The 5 stars names in the movie are all the same as their names in real life, and these guys were not the wrong guys, but the RIGHT guys to make this film a GREAT comedy! Filmed in 1987 and released in early 1988, this movie was very underrated. It was poor at the box office, but is very rich with me! Get it! It'll be rich with you 2!

Summary: The absolute worst performance from a large group of stars
Review: I find this film, right? And I'm thinking, "Hey! Look at all the famous people in it!! It's probably going to be really funny!" After enduring this film, I'm left wondering "What in the world was the director/scriptwriter/producer thinking?!?!?". Let me just give you the basic plotline here. Grown men want to play cub scouts (You can see the obvious opportunity for gags and jokes here, folks. Oh goodie!!). The movie contains all your favorite hodge-podge of camp mishaps (ax head flies off, tent peg bends, cot snaps up on someone, etc.) made all the more mind-numbingly stupid by the fact that you know what's going to happen about 5 minutes before they actually do. Combine that with the horrid "acting" abilities (I use the term loosely) of Louie Anderson (main character) and several "I-wish-I-could-do-standup" routines from Richard Lewis. Toss in a bad guy (John Goodman, the only redeeming performance in the movie) who can shoot a flagpole down at 300 yards, but can't hit ANY of seven (count them, seven) fully grown (and in Louie's case, fully overgrown) men floating on a raft not ten feet from him. And what do you have? (...)

Save you money for something more worthwhile. Like a pooper scooper.

Summary: Just Think Of It As A Guilty Pleasure
Review: I only saw one bad online review of this picture. All I have to say about this is,LIGHTEN UP!!!! From a bona fide film buff sometimes you just accept some movies as guilty pleasures, I mean after all it's all about escapism & entertainment!!!!

Summary: Not Louie Anderson's finest hour...
Review: I remember going to see this at the theater in 1988 when I was fourteen. Besides my dad and me, there were only two other people in the theater. They stood up and left halfway through. There was a good reason for this. This movie is very poor and I believe it only stayed in theaters for about a week before tanking. Good for nostalgia value only.

Summary: The Wrong Guys
Review: I thought this was a funny movie. It shows that Boy Scouts, or in this case Cub Scouts makes a difference in people's lives. All these men want to do is go back to their childhood lives and earn the most precident badge. It gives hopes to the old "foggy's" of today's generation. Other than the "violence" and some "language", this is a great older family movie and for the Scouts.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wrong Guys
Review: If you like comedies, you will love this! Louie Anderson is too funny, in fact the whole cast will crack you up! The casting of the particular actor/comedians for the various roles was perfect!A good comedy for the whole family!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FUN ENTERTAINMENT
Review: The Wrong Guys is just a fun movie. If you like slapstick, wrye humor and an improbable plot, this movie is for you. The cast of comics do their signature things and bring it all of seamlessly. It is a humorous look at the journey from boyhood to adult and back again.
