Sam Rockwell knocks it out of the park as a goofy, charming ex-hitman, and honestly all of the acting is great.

The problem is the production value - it's terrible; the directing, the script, the credits are literally Times New Roman 12 pt font, yuck. Thankfully the leads have chemistry because this writing is hit-or-miss. I can't recommend this movie because the plot is so frustrating, but I did get some laughs and the performances are spot on.… Expand

The movie is just cute enough to be a 5 because Sam Rockwell is one of the best actors I know; otherwise, five it would have held at for sure.

Anna Kendrick's character is just too childish, no matter how "kooky" Sam's character is, I still think a more mature woman would have filled out all of his needs, charm, and sensibilities in the movie. Every good actor needs their counterpart to challenge them, and, unfortunately, I think Anna Kendrick just isn't seasoned enough (yet) to be in league with the likes of Sam Rockwell. This movie could have been really awesome with a Keira Knightley if you wanted to go with a more sexy route or a Melissa McCarthy if you wanted to stay on the comical route... the same clean-cut as with Kendrick... oh what might have been! DUMB ENDINGS always deserve a knock-off, which is why it goes back to a five...… Expand

I'LL CHANGE THESE USER RATINGS AND REVIEWS TO MATCH THE AVERAGE METASCORE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HAVING A NEGATIVE USER SCORE!

ERROR AGAIN: DID NOT SUCCEED. HAVE A NICE DAY.

Mr. Right isn't right at all. What gives Mr. Right the right to have that title is the fact that they didn't expect this movie to be wrong. Mr. Right needs to have that title changed to Mr. Wrong. There's two things that you should watch that's named Mr. Right. Look up broadcasting in television or watch that foreign movie instead of this.… Expand

A hitman with the 'killing is wrong' attitude.

Something is not right for 'Mr, Right'. It is not an event based action-comedy or something like man meets woman romance-comedy, but very random presentation. Where it begins and where itA hitman with the 'killing is wrong' attitude.

Something is not right for 'Mr, Right'. It is not an event based action-comedy or something like man meets woman romance-comedy, but very random presentation. Where it begins and where it ends, you can't clearly say it is a well written script. The actings were decent, but the scenes aren't overwhelmingly impressive as it should be. Directed by 'Neon Flesh' famed filmmaker, after that film his other projects weren't up to the standards including this one.

It is written by the one who was behind the 'American Ultra'. There's a strikingly similar between these two and you won't deny if you had seen them. Especially Anna Kendrick's character to what the Jesse Eisenberg was in that film. If we go deep, Sam Rockwell as well might fall into the same category to what Kristen Stewart was. At some point, one of the film characters mentions the same secret project. So I think it is the same universe and a spin-off.

Sam-Kendrick combo was the highlight of the film. I hope they would do some serious subject together in the near future. The action sequences were good, other than that it's not funny at all or romantic. That means I did not enjoy it because the theme did not work for me which I felt very common these days. So it failed because of the lack of innovation and proper development, but the overall film was not bad if entertainment is the main agenda. I know there are audience for it and they will back it. I won't stand between you and your watch if you want to try it, I just say be careful, that's all.

Sad, I love Sam Rockwell and he’s good in this but the rest of it kind of flops. Its like the movie missed its sweet spot, you could say it’s too much or not enough for what it’s trying to be.

Mr. Right seems like a product where those in charge didn’t know if their plans were for a whacky rom-com action flick or simply a violent Tarantino imitation. The end result is a mildly entertaining 90 minutes, but nothing more.
