Trivia
The Scoutmaster is played by Jimmy Weldon, a man well known in the California area for hosting a children's program in the '50s and '60s featuring Webster Webfoot, a duck voiced by Weldon, who was mostly presented in a Webelos scout uniform. See more »Goofs
When Tim is hammering on the tent stake, he breaks the handle of his hammer in half, it is a clean break. When they show him looking at the handle, it is broken to a point indicating it is not the same hammer. See more »Crazy Credits

No, "The Wrong Guys" isn't the funniest movie, and it may not be the most well made of films, but it is a fun movie to watch. It's stupid, good, clean fun made by a bunch of comics who clearly just wanted to do a movie together.
Given the state of movies today, this one doesn't seem all that bad by comparison. Just how many sequels to "Scary Movie" can there be anyway? And "White Chicks"??? Give me a break. Give me Richard Belzer tumbling down a mountain-side and landing on a 30 year old pack of "Fizzies" any day of the week.
The Gruntski Bros. are hilarious, and John Goodman is so over-the-top BAD that it's good. The scenes when these guys were kids are freaking outstanding: Belz sneaking up on Louie's older sister is classic.
Does it get better than "The Wrong Guys"? Sure it does. But it gets a helluva lot worse too.
