If you are looking for a romantic comedy that's a little weird, this is your movie! Sam Rockwell is fantastic and his chemistry with Anna Kendrick Pulls you right in.

I loved this movie the awkwardness and silliness where just the right amount. It was freakishly fun watching sweet awkward Kendrick melt down to this bad-ass killer that makes you want to giggle in her presence vs cringe... that is as long asI loved this movie the awkwardness and silliness where just the right amount.

I loved this movie, the American Ultra references were perfect and I loved Anna Kendrick's character. Max Landis is totally underrated, his **** is amazing.

I found this movie really fun and really enjoyed the concept. This movie is really different and is actually pretty funny for a romantic comedy, plus it is not cliche.

An interesting mish mash of film genres. We have the cheated on girlfriend, we have a hit man, we have hit men trying to kill the hit man, we have crime bosses trying to kill off other crime bosses. A little silly but it has it's moments.

This movie is quirky, amusing and unexpected.

You've probably seen quite a few romantic comedies, how about a romantic action comedy for a change, eh? A girl meets a boy who happens to be class-A hitman. But killing is wrong so he only offs those who hire him, or attack him directly. SoYou've probably seen quite a few romantic comedies, how about a romantic action comedy for a change, eh? A girl meets a boy who happens to be class-A hitman. But killing is wrong so he only offs those who hire him, or attack him directly. So we get a lot of punching and gunplay in addition to romance.

Starring Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell, supported by colorful smaller roles by Tim Roth and Wu-Tang Clan's RZA, it's a quick-paced and pretty fun caper. Sure, it may be more of a boys' movie than a romantic comedy and feel like a mediocre TV pilot at times, but it's still a pretty nice way to spend 95 minutes. Some jokes, some action, story doesn't overstay its welcome... what's not to like?

If I did anything differently here, I'd have written a more interesting female lead character, or at least added some memorable lines to remember her by. As it stands, Anna Kendrick (Jessica from "Twilight" and Beca from "Pitch Perfect") becomes a weak link here. Of course, she's always likable but her usual brand of Just This Nice Girl feels like an unspired choice compared to the great Sam Rockwell who is pretty much the epitome of cool in his generation of US movie actors right now. Rockwell on the other hand rocks as usual. He has been spreading his own brand of catchy weirdness in many different movies and genres, and won't disappoint the fans now either. He's lively, charming and also a more versatile performer of the two leads, even with shallow comedy material such as this.

"Mr. Right" didn't find an audience in cinemas where it disappeared as fast as a world-class hitman after a successful "job".

But if you happen to catch this cool little flick on-demand or something, I would advise to check it out. There's always some room for Rockwell.… Expand

If you do not find this amusing I question what you were expecting. Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick continue to be two of the best Hollywood offers.

I actually enjoyed this show. As long as it does not take itself seriously I can shut the grey matter down and just enjoy the show and I really did enjoy it.

As long as it does not take itself seriously I can shut the grey matter down and just enjoy the show and I really did enjoy it. It was fun to watch and I thought the irreverent tone and campyness were positives for the show. There were many scenes where I laughed and gaffed at the dialogue and action sequences. I do not consider this a drama or romatic show, it consider it a weak romcom with strong campy & aloof humor. I though both main actor/actress worked well together and would like to see a sequel but box office performance will likely make that impossible. What a shame, I stumbled on this and really enjoyed watching.… Expand
