Sometimes, unfortunately, you go to a movie with expectations to be completely disappointed. Due to time and a doctor’s appointment we had a choice of going to see either “Demolition Man” or “Mr. Right”.

Due to time and a doctor’s appointment we had a choice of going to see either “Demolition Man” or “Mr. Right”. I would rather have seen the former but I know Allen didn’t want to see it. I read somewhere that “Mr. Right” was a combination comedy/action/romantic independent movie along the lines of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Though I didn’t read the reviews I did go to metacritic and saw a couple of 70 and 80 ratings so I figured it were a good choice.

Yes Anna Kendrick is cute and acts bananas very believably while Sam Rockwell is just as crazy playing an assassinator who kills the people who hires him to kill others because he thinks it is wrong. They meet cute; they fall in love and then a lot of mayhem starts.

Trying to be a screwball comedy there are very few laughs and, in cases where it attempts to be a farce it goes way overboard. The movie is full of gangster clichés along with ridiculous fights whether with guns, knives, fists, feet or dancing—yes, Sam Rockwell is sort of a Fred Astaire/Gene Kelly dancing assassinator. Oh yes there are about 10 people out to kill him.

Okay, I will admit I smiled twice in the 90 minutes of the movie but at the end I turned to Allen and told him it was his fault for us seeing his. It is also your fault if you go to see this when something, anything, else is available to see!!… Expand

Hi. The first review here.
Damn god, this is an absolute crap. Plot sucks, actor's perfmormance is worse than in sitcoms.
Music sucks, dialogues are ridiculous, dont watch it.

The worst thing that has ever happened to action movies. Max Landis's script is sadistic and the comedy isn't funny. It's tone-deaf and sloppily directed. It's brutal to endure this.

This is classic example of Hollywood's latest attempt at being creative: a dumb plot, dumb exaggerated characters, throw in some of the latest pop hits, a little self-awareness, and you've got yourself Mr. Right. There's almost nothing hereThis is classic example of Hollywood's latest attempt at being creative: a dumb plot, dumb exaggerated characters, throw in some of the latest pop hits, a little self-awareness, and you've got yourself Mr. Right. There's almost nothing here to salvage outside of a decent performance by James Ransone and some good chemistry between Rockwell and Kendrick. Also, Tim Roth is utterly wasted in this movie. Take his character out and maybe, just maybe, it may have been a 4 or 5.… Expand

Against my better judgment I saw it and now I regret it, I really thought I was gonna laugh a little but Jesus, this wasn't fun at all.

What is happening with Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick? They're better than this.
