Not every movie is supossed to be Amarcord, casablanca or even young frankenstein. It's not a sin to enjoy a simple movie, to stop the stress fron reality, to take a detour from the horrible things going on in today's world. You're wathching a Happy Madison production, with Sandler's friends, a simple plot and yes, a 50 something year old men dating a 35 year old woman. But i really don't understand the hate; when i want emotion i see Cinema Paradiso. When i want to be really scared , i see the exorcist.... Today, i really wanted to scape, be relaxed, and maybe have one or two laughs.

I disagree with those who said: ''she's so cringe, he's so flat, the script is non existant'' (the latter being truth). Missy as a role is supossed to be unnerving, and the moments of surprising normality from her.....well i can honestly say that i've met people like that, annoying and good persons almost at the same time.

It's not a great movie, but i can honestly say, i'had some fun. And the time flew really quick,

Judge some movies for what it is, not from what is suppossed to be.

Someone said this could have been another Adam Sandler movie. Well one of his "comedies" that is. That is not entirely untrue and there is more than just some merit to it. What is one major difference though: the female lead. While David Spade is the main character, she is stealing the show. Now as annoying as I think she is, as not attracted to that character I am (love the actress for sure), she is winning everyone over.

And yes it is obvious and predictable where this is going. With all the hurdles and issues visible miles away. Some jokes are too extreme/gnarly and I almost want to not like the movie because of them ... but it's just too loveable. With cameos to boost and insanity to be released. But as I said: it's the female "co-lead" that makes this what it is ... very fine perfomance indeed

I'm generally skeptical these dates of anything that Adam Sandler's name is attached to these days. While the movie itself has its shortcomings, not the least of which is Spade as the romantic lead it has a shining light: Lauren Lapkus, whose comedic performance is the superb. It puts her alongside the best comedic actors of the moment. She completely commits to everything which means that many of the moments that would be rendered unfunny in less capable hands hit the mark or exceed it. I will be going out of my way to watch her in the future.

Laughed out loud at this close to the knuckles comedy.

The set up has been done before but there are some genuinely hillariois moments that caught me off guard in a film I started watching with low expectations .

It's funny in a juvenile kind of way ,give it a chance.

Look, some movies just make me feel things, regardless how terrible they are. I loved myself stupid at one quote and can't help by find myself weirdly attracted to Missy.

Adam Sandler's movies are dreadful, we all know it. Doesn't matter when it was made, it's dreadful.

But theyre FUNNY!

Ok a few of them were just plain dreadful AND unfunny (I'm looking at you, Jack n Jill) but come on, some are timeless classics. This isn't one of them, but it's great fun. It's fun to feel intellectually superior to whoever was behind making it and it's fun to catch an unexpected moment that turned out to be 10x funnier than the entire rest of the movie collectively.

It's stupid, it's corny, it's absurd, it's fun Happy Madison.

Better than i espected!Beside she is yelling all the time,the movie has a lot of dirty and really funny dialogs and situations from the beginning 'till the end!Sandler's pack rules!

The movie has its Flaws, it not perfect but the LOLmoments out weight the parts where it drags on.

Definitely would recommend.

David Spade in his trademark role-straight man to a crazed over the top funnyman (funnywoman)-Lauren Lapkus shines as the force of nature and overall it was a lot of laughs. I hope they make a sequel.

Was actually entertaining and some really laugh out loud moments. Kind of takes you by surprise, its better than you think.

This movie had many lol moments. Great acting. Little bit predictable but the journey was fun.

Why does Netflix put Rob Schneider on the cover when he's almost not in the movie!? I would say clickbait, but it's was a nice one, I enjoyed, it's funny or stupid funny but still funny. I was expecting to have some great laughs and I did.

If you are an 80s kid with a good sense of humor you going to like this movie with the overall.

About Rob Schneider, since his performance in Home Alone 2 I thought this guy has something funny, then after we made suck a really great movies, Deuce Bigalow, Animal, Hot Chick, 50 First Dates, those are movies that I bought it for my collection. His kind of humor is very well appreciated here in Europe.

I was attracted to see a NetFlix movie "The Wrong Missy" because he was in the cover but his role was really small but funny has ever.

This guys still rocks! I wish I could see him in more movies.

I find it absurd that is not in more comedies.

I wouldn't agree with people that this movie so bad as described. It wasn't moder plot film, I can agree on that and the plot maybe wasn't original but it reminded me of good comedy from 2000's and I liked that a lot. Some jokes(not few but kind of a lot) made me laugh and that what was I looking for. As 2020 movie it's pretty decent.

This movie makes me wish I could see more of Lauren Lapkus in comedies. Her character is hilariously written, and while a little over the top at times, is genuinely enjoyable and a caricature of some of the more outrageous and outgoing people I've met in my life. I put the laughs from this movie on the same level as Happy Gilmore, Waterboy, and Billy Madison. The plot isn't super developed, as with movies like Just Go With It, or That's My Boy, it jumps around from scene to scene solely for the purpose of creating a new environment for funny situations. So don't go in expecting much mental stimulation. Just a simple hour and a half escape and hopefully a few good laughs.

Vey funny in a crazy way. Dangerous and funny situations at the same time. You can also see how corporate world works and it's not pretty at all. Like being bullied by your boss.

It is a david spade movie, meaning you will have to tolerate his presence for a good 2 hours, watching him pretend to be likeable. You also have to endure the bad writing, the stereotyped scenarios and too dumb to laugh gags that are thrown in your face constantly. Nothing new here from adam sandlers love child. Yet this movie still managed to grab my attention with the very likeable, funny and dare I say quirky main character played by lauren lapkus.

I really like her character who seems to be written with the intention of having the craziest date you can imagine in mind. And it works. It mainly works because the actress made a clearly very 2-dimensional premise as 3-dimensional as possible. Yet another movie saved by one main.

When I saw Jorge Garcia (guy from lost) I thought the plane was gone crash.

Not a real fan of comedies, but this one is actually really funny! it doesn't have those old jokes, it's just naturally funny and stupid, which makes it laughable!

It may have some predictable plot lines. the humor may be low brow, but The Wrong Missy was entertaining. Lapkus was fantastic and I think Spade played his role well. If you are looking for a movie to turn your brain off too, Give this movie a shot.

I gave this movie 7.5/10.I missed the old classic feel good goofball movies and this movie had many aspects that were congruent to my likings.You will feel good after watching this movie and many scenes were pretty funny.

I will agree with other reviewers that I don't trust most anything with Adam Sandler's name attached in the last few years. This film is very much a goofy comedy in the same spirit, but somehow managed to entertain me. Very much like all Netflix films, this had beautiful locations, and will sparkle on an HD television. Also like most Netflix films, it goes way over the top with some of the gags. Somehow they used a recycled formula, but it's actually pretty funny this time around.

First I want to start off with that I did like and enjoy this movie. I just diddn't think it was anything you'd brag to your friends about or worth watching a second time.

The pacing of the movie was good. The visuals on the island were great and I thought the acting from all parties was fine. As far as comedies go the movie is funny. But I wouldn't go as far to say its laugh out loud. The problem I think had more to do with almost 80% of the jokes originating from Lauren Lapkus and most of them being sex based jokes. Which by time your little over halfway through the movie her character and those jokes get played out. As far as the romance aspect go I think the movie failed miserably. By the time the connection really happens it feels rushed and is not as charming as compared to other Adam Sandler type films.

Would I recommend the movie? While it wasn't my favorite. I would tell others to give it a watch if you've got nothing else to do because it isn't bad movie. Just don't expect to have your socks knocked off.

Love the movie, it was funny enough! Missy is a really good actor.

So while I'm not a huge fan of Adam Sandler's humor, (Although I actually enjoyed his dramatic turn in 'Uncut Gems'...) I'll sometimes take a chance if the premise sounds interesting. Glad I took a leap of faith with 'The Wrong Missy'..! David Spade is surprisingly restrained and hits the perfect note for Lauren Lapkus's over-the-top character. There are some scenes where I'm looking at David's reaction to her antics and thinking, THAT'S how I would feel..! Lauren has captured my attention and I'll be looking for her in the future. David has redeemed himself from some of his 'poor' choices in the past. The BEST thing about this movie? Whenever I think of it I find myself smiling and laughing. (And) Isn't That the whole point? This vehicle is FUNNY..!

Had low expectations but this thing came out swinging. Haven't laughed this hard in YEARS. Lauren Lapkus slays. Highly recommend.
