La otra Missy

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.

The Wrong Missy (3 out of 5 stars).

The Wrong Missy is a fair comedy film that is filled with stupid humor which is what you can expect from a Happy Madison production. A comedy movie that does have that typical predictable story and cliches but it is kind of entertaining.

The plot follows Tim (David Spade) who had a bad blind date when he met Melissa (Lauren Lapkus) with her loud, obnoxious, and weird personality. Months later, he meets another woman Melissa (Molly Sims) which her personality is like his dream woman. They swapped numbers and went there own ways in the airport. When his company is throwing a retreat in Hawaii. He decides to invite Melissa. Which he gets a surprise in the airport when Melissa from the blind date shows up. Which she tries to take charge of every situation she is in at his work party.

It is a predictable plot which you can tell who is going to get with who before it happens. Tim has an enemy at work which she hates him and is always trying to be better than him in front of there boss. She will be a conflict to Tim's secret about Missy and his dream girl Melissa. Tim and Missy are the opposites. He is quiet and passive. She is loud and clumsy.

Missy played by Lauren Lapkus is entertaining. She may act stupid and have that loud personality. Sometimes her performance may be overboard trying to get laughs. Which may be annoying than funny. She did decent with the character. David Spade, Molly Sims, Nick Swardson, and even Rob Schneider did decent with the performances. May not be great acting. But they are all entertaining with having fun with their characters.

If you seen previous Happy Madison production movies that Adam Sandler produced and enjoyed it. Than you will enjoy this as well. Simple predictable plot. With actors having fun with their characters. And plenty of dumb humor.

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

Definitely would recommend.

I was expecting this to be one of the worsts movies so far this year but it was surprisingly funny. Yes some of the jokes were kinda outdated and not that good but a lot of them did make me laugh. Definitely one of the best David Spade movies I have seen in a long time so good job to him. Script was pretty predictable but overall an alright movie.

So this was never meant to win an Oscar, let's be honest with ourselves. Nobody with a brain would press Play thinking this was going to blow their minds with best cinematography or acting. However it did one thing well & it did it VERY well, it made me LOL throughout the movie. The stupidest & simplest things can be worth every minute. Well done on this one, credit due there!
