    Not your ordinary romantic comedy...

    The Right Kind of Wrong is an unusual film...

    It takes a lot from common clichés that we're used to understanding as typical romantic comedies but it builds upon it and presents it in a novel yet interesting way. The main protagonist is not a common well behaved steady earning good boy that we're grown to expect from this genre. On the contrary - he is a broken man with a joke for a career, no ambitions and plenty of other weaknesses to top that up. The girl however... Well, she's equally humane. :) And that's about it when it comes to things worth knowing about the flick. It's not the genre nor the cast that will make you enjoy watching it - it's just the fact that all the characters are so "real" and not over the top smoothed out for Hollywood role models. As the title suggests the right things about the movie are all the wrong ones and that's what makes it a definite watch!

    timing is everyth...

    A talented young cast, a reasonably workable premise and yet dis-jointed editing and writing that misses the joke more than it hits make this a disappointment. I very much wanted this to be funnier. there were so many chances and nothing..

    I will not put this on the cast,although Catherine O'Hara was under- utilized in this storyline.

    Incorporating her into the early "stalker" scenes would have reduced the potential creepieness, and her ability to lift a dialogue would have been wonderful for character development. Smoother more natural directing would have made this a gem.

    Really enjoyable

    This film tells the life of a failed writer whose ex-girlfriend wrote a book about him being a completely undesirable lover. He meets a charming woman on her wedding day, and they develop a unlikely relationship against the circumstances.

    "The Right Kind of Wrong" boasts a satisfying story, in which the protagonist Leo undergoes a transformation for the sake of the woman of his dreams. The way he endures ridicule from the readers of the ex-girlfriend's book is sad but not overly sad, which is in keeping with the tone of the film. I like the way Leo and Colette develop their relationship, and how Colette realises the Olympic skier is not really for her. "The Right Kind of Wrong" eloquently states that it takes courage to leave the easy way into the comfort zone, and really do something you want to do. I was very empathic with the characters, as they are so real and not sugar coated. I really enjoyed watching it.

    A guy's chick flick

    This was a chick flick written for guys, and I enjoyed it much more than my wife. Without spoiling anything, as you can see by the previews, she was designed to be the basic dude's perfect dream. The plot revolves around a guy down on his luck done wrong by his wife and him finding a new woman he falls for. It has a lot of unspoken truths and a lot of fun.

    And as for the rest of my review, Apparently all reviews have to contain 600 characters just to get it published so I'm writing this to get it published. So I'm am still writing. Apparently what you have to say isn't as important as how much you have to say. Still writing.

    Just love it.

    I've watched this movie more than one time and it just gets better and better. It's one of my favorite movies and that's because it's just how I want a movie to be, romantic, funny and brilliant. The main character, Leo, is funny and really likeable. He falls in love with a girl at her wedding day and decides that she will be his. Leo's ex girlfriend writes about how much he sucks and those things that she find wrong about him may someone else actually find perfect, I think that is something very beautiful in life and the movie is very much about that concept. The story is really heartwarming and the mood is terrific. I think this movie has got something special and it just makes me smile every time I watch it.
