The Wrong Missy is a little hit-and-miss, but it’s funny and inventive, and Lapkus is good enough to make the word “zany” tolerable again. Read full review

The Wrong Missy is a harmless dumb-meets-smart-mouth comedy that doesn’t necessarily feed your appetite for more Netflix throwaways. But it does make you want to see Lauren Lapkus’s next act. Read full review

The Wrong Missy is a lightweight throwaway, the kind of movie it is difficult to suggest one actually choose to watch, but if your algorithm somehow lands on it provides a certain harmless diversion. Read full review

The Wrong Missy is one of those movies that takes a brain-dead sitcom scenario to the outer limits of what an audience is willing to tolerate. Read full review

Tyler Spindel, a Happy Madison veteran, directs The Wrong Missy with all of the worst tendencies of the Sandler shingle style. It’s a series of claustrophobically unfunny scenes that drag on and on, interspersed with establishing shots and music cues that look and sound like they were licensed from a stock library.

Even with locked-down consumers scraping the bottom of the Netflix content trough, this new addition to the lineup is pretty dreary. Read full review

What’s frustrating is that The Wrong Missy isn’t entirely devoid of self-awareness. Read full review

I know movies are obviously very subjective. That being said, my wife and I absolutely LOVED this movie and laughed our asses off from beginning to end. Missy's character was so over the top and funny and just made the movie. Our all-time favorite movie is and always will be Step BrothersI know movies are obviously very subjective. That being said, my wife and I absolutely LOVED this movie and laughed our asses off from beginning to end. Missy's character was so over the top and funny and just made the movie. Our all-time favorite movie is and always will be Step Brothers but The Wrong Missy has easily clinched our number two spot. I highly recommend watching. If you're not laughing hysterically in the first 15 minutes, turn it off because this movie is clearly not for you. However, if you are laughing hysterically, enjoy...because it won't let up until the end.… Expand

Has a few funny moments but overall more cringey than funny. Lapkus' performance is the only real highlight as she somehow makes the extremely eccentric Missy feel both real and likeable.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you like the "don't think" comedies, it's average. Only problem I had with the movie, was the plot, the "wrong Missy" (Lauren Lapkus) was not likable from beginning, and since the real Mellisa "right Missy" (Molly Sims) was on screen, I loved her, and the movie just pushed you to "like" wrong Missy, but i just couldn't. Average Happy Medison movie.… Expand

Rarely do you want to strangle the female lead in a movie unless she is the villain. Not so with “The Wrong Missy.” The “wrong” Missy (Lauren Lapkus) is so egregiously, teeth-grating, head-bangingly annoying that you’re ready to kill yourself or her within the first 20 minutes.

Not so with “The Wrong Missy.” The “wrong” Missy (Lauren Lapkus) is so egregiously, teeth-grating, head-bangingly annoying that you’re ready to kill yourself or her within the first 20 minutes. She gets better, but not much. At least David Spade, Vanilla Ice, and Rob Schneider were temporarily saved from the Hollywood “whatever happened to…?” dustbin with this project, but for how long? OK to see when: stoned, drunk, on heavy pain meds, hungry for low comedy, or just bored out of your mind and churlish about “Tiger King” being over.… Expand

This movie is wrong. So wrong at so many levels I truly can't believe this was made in 2020.
