Mr. Right

I accidentally found this movie on a plane, and the flight was just under being long enough and sought out to rewatch from the start as it captured me! I really liked this movie, I like it so much I literally created a log in to say so. My review isnt funny, witty or relevant in any way but I feel like this movie is something you should give a go as you might find yourself laughing and bopping along!

The sound track is so up beat and the characters are wacky but enjoyable. I sometimes play this movie in the background while I'm pottering around just because it makes me happy! Although I think the two leads are the oddest couple ever, somehow they make it work.

Overal all, super enjoyable and perky. Please just watch it

"You show up and you're like the greatest thing ever...and then you kill people." Martha McKay (Kendrick) has just broken up with her boyfriend and doesn't know what to do with her life. When she meets Mr. Right (Rockwell) the two strike up a fast relationship and things are going great for Martha. Mr. Right though isn't what he seems. He is a hit-man who believes murder is wrong and lives by his personal code of ethics. When Martha finds out the truth she his torn between leaving him, or accepting who he is. This is just a great and fun movie. Perfect amount of comedy and action. I am a huge Sam Rockwell fan to begin with and will watch anything he is in. He is great in this role and Kendrick is perfect at playing the innocent type, but is believable when she steps away from that aspect as well. This is a movie that is nothing but fun and entertaining and is one that can be watched over and over and still be enjoyed. Won't win any awards, but this is one to watch and I highly recommend this for an enjoyable evening. Overall, fun, funny, entertaining, exciting and enjoyable. Has everything you want in dark comedy. I loved it. I give this an A-.

Max Landis' writing is unique and has both hits and misses. This movie succeeds in part with the impressive tonal shifts in the story as well as some original characters.

The movie plays like a Diablo Cody-thing gone off the rails, which is a good thing, if you're prepared for that kind of stuff.

The action was unexpectedly well executed, but hard to really be engaged with because of the chaotic approach to genre.

If you're into something light and fun and tired of the tropes being played over and over again, then this is the next film, you should watch.

First of all, the soundtrack was good. Especially Norman Greenbaum's Spirit In The Sky suited the first gun fight scene excellently, and if by then you had no idea what kind of action movie Mr. Right is, that scene tells it to you straight.

Anna Kendrick is amazing as Martha, a girl so quirky you don't know if she's just weird or if there's actually something even more weird going on his head. Also the way Martha shook off "Mr. Right"'s comments on killing people made me wonder several times if she thinks he is joking, or if she just doesn't care too much, because he is so perfect for her. Sam Rockwell is an interesting choice for "Mr. Right". When Martha first meets him, he comes off pretty creepy, and while Rockwell is still very charming, he still seems dangerous. Even the viewer is suspicious of whether or not to trust him, mostly because we have already seen what he does, but he just seems so nice, but it's masking how creepy he is, but that is kind of destroying how sweet and charming he is, and so on. Right then and there it's a vicious cycle, but of course when we learn more, we trust more.

The romantic side of the film is interesting. The romance between "Mr. Right" and Martha is cute, but you feel like it shouldn't be. He seems older and kind of creepy, Martha just broke up with someone and also doesn't realise how her new, uh, boyfriend is actually a killer. But their chemistry just is astonishing. Of course there are a lot of problems in their relationship if you start analysing it, but they just seem like the perfect, cute, quirky couple.

The action side of the film is very excellent. The scenes are fun to follow, and "Mr. Right"'s skills make them even more interesting.

The character "Mr: Right" is probably meant to seem quite mysterious in the beginning, because nothing is said about him or the origin of his skills immediately. But for some reason that mystery doesn't seem that interesting than other plot-lines in the story. I was more interested to see the action scenes, Hopper's hunt for "Mr. Right", the development of the romance and I wanted to see Martha become a proper action girl. When the information about who "Mr. Right" actually is, it's just like "Okay sure". It doesn't seem like an important detail.

If I'd have to compare Mr. Right with another movie, it would probably be Seven Psychopaths. The reasons for that are Sam Rockwell in both movies, the humour, and just something about the plot, probably how there are several different plans and goals we are following all of them.

Mr. Right is a fun action movie. The plot seems original enough, and the film is interesting to follow. It has a certain spark and a charm. What more do you need?

Max Landis by all reports sucks as a person, but his writing is at least unique. This isnt as good as American Ultra, but enjoyably similar in tone.

Some hits and misses but a very serviceable action rom com that you don't see done often nowadays, and you see it done well even less.

I don't love Sam Rockwell in general but I have a big soft spot for Anna Kendrick, both do great in their roles here, playing both to and against type at intervals in the story.

Entertaining supporting cast with familiar faces like Tim Roth, James Ransone from Sinister (Deputy So and So), and famous-creepy-guy-who coincidentally-reminds-me-of-Sam-Rockwell Michael Eklund. Also RZA makes an appearance, I love seeing him in movies so I got a kick of out that as well.

Its the kind of movie both you AND your girlfriend will probably like, but neither will probably love.
