Mr. Wrong

This movie was another 90 minutes of wasted talent, a poor plot, and sloppy editing until the last few minutes came in. Not only did they make me automatically wish I had done something else, but they made it impossible for logical closure. I was willing to accept that Hollywood spent more money in this stalker comedy then I'll ever make until the last 15 minutes started. I mean, come on! I don't see how the editing room saw this as OK. The First 3 quarters of the movie: 4/10. The Movie altogether: 2/10.

While I love to see movies that are "so bad they're good", this one is just plain AWFUL! I love Bill Pullman (he made me melt in "While You Were Sleeping"), and while it's amusing to see him dressed up as a clown in this movie, he really missed the boat in this role. As for Ellen, I'm sorry, but I can't take her seriously in roles as a "straight" woman, no offense.

I did enjoy hearing Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (one of my favorite songs) in the film. That was one of the few bright spots in this film. The film really crashed and burned in the last 45 minutes. The kids and the guns (which ultimately turned out to be fake) was a very insulting scene.

Don't even waste your money renting this horrible movie!

"Mr. Wrong" had to be written as a "black comedy", but unfortunately misses the mark by a wide margin. The main problem is that the film is not outrageous enough. Bill Pullman's character resorts to becoming a mean stalker after his rejection by Ellen DeGeneris. At this point the movie turns into nothing more than a glorified cartoon. In order for dark comedy to succeed, it can be outrageous, but not mean spirited. Killing perverts to finance their dream restaurant worked wonders in "Eating Raoul". Here, simply destroying someone's life, for one's own pleasure, is totally off-putting, and not funny. A big disappointment, and definitely not "black comedy". - MERK

MR. WRONG ** Unfunny comedy, save two or three role-plays, that casts comedian-turned-actress Ellen DeGeneres as a hapless woman with no man in her life, and Bill Pullman as Mr. Right, the fellow she never figured she needed. But the story has seemingly charming Pullman become insensitive and obnoxious - qualities that can be said of what the screenplay evolves into - and DeGeneres wants out when she comes to terms with it. Wasting the talents of all involved, it's one of those films that seems entertaining on commercial release, but disappoints when you actually rent it. Don't waste your time. I saw the movie two or three years ago, and haven't seen it since, nor ever again.

Sure, it's not the best comedy you've ever seen. But it does not belong on the worst list either. DeGeneres is extremely talented with her natural humor that makes Mr. Wrong very original. I can't speak for everyone, but I personally identify with many of her reactions and behaviors.
