The Wrong Mans Audience Reviews

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
tj-bluez The Wrong Mans is a TV series is what you'd call a true diamond in the rough, I stumbled into on HULU and now I am hooked.Sam (Matthew Baynton) and Phil (James Corden) are masterful and captivating in their amazing comedic and dramatic adaptation of what would your so...? It all starts with the most unsuspecting Sam and a cell phone, after that these two are thrown full tilt into the most impossible and bizarre situations that your could think up. The action and anticipation is well placed and will have you on the edge of your seat, you will not be disappointed.The only issue I have is that I wish the episodes were longer, even though they episode delivered enough to keep us hooked…we want more!
tr91 The Wrong Mans is a TV series that I didn't hear anything about until I saw it advertised a week or so before it aired. It looked like a decent show and I liked James Corden in Gavin & Stacey so I decided to give it a go. As the weeks went on the series just got better and better and it turned out to be very good.Sam (Matthew Baynton) and Phil (James Corden) are the case of a mistaken identity following a phone call that was not intended for them. They are thrown into some quite bizarre situations. They are always on the run for one thing or another and they are just two innocent guys. The action is quite fast paced and each episode ended on a cliff hanger and you just wanted to see what would happen next.The action was all sorts such as car chases and being taken hostage. When one thing is sorted out, something worse happens. The drama is really good and you really feel for the main characters. The acting all round is impressive. Then there was also the humour side of things, each episode had its moments. It wasn't the funniest series I've ever seen but it had just enough to give the series a different side. Silly humour in a completely serious situation, like debating how Ginsters is pronounced while there is somebody chasing you who wants to kill you.The way it ended made me think it was all over but since it has already been confirmed that there will be a 2nd series I am really looking forward to seeing what will happen next. Hopefully it won't go downhill from here because the 1st series was extremely impressive.9/10.
ejaysam This is a fine example of the great British humour of "Being in the wrong place at the wrong time!" I won't give out too much info on the plot here thus sparing you the enjoyment of this fine drama. I will however say that I have enjoyed this series immensely thus far (episode 3)!Fine acting from James Corden & Mathew Baynton as a gullible dynamic duo with a good heart to do the right thing with every thing turning to crap essentially! I can't wait to see how the story unfolds in the remaining episodes. It would be a shame if they (the BBC) were to end this after the first series! We definitely need more programs like this on our TV to look forward to after a long hard days work to come home and unwind with!Highly recommended if you enjoy a good story line with plenty of laughs with clichés!
pauldcmt-1 This suffers from a no of issues: ludicrous plot; sloppy scripting; cartoon characterisations; weak punch lines; predictable developments; bad acting; adolescent humour.I have seen higher calibre school drama productions. It has absolutely no redeeming qualities.It makes Springtime for Hitler in The Producers look like Citizen Kane.To what depths can British TV comedy sink? Let's hope this is the ocean floor.Maybe they could find a use for it in Guantanamo Bay?Frankly, a little disappointing.
