The Wrong Missy

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

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.

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.

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.

This is a typical comedy that will divide people, some will love it and others will hate it. You can count me in the ones that had a really good time watching this movie. I wanted to watch a funny movie and that's exactly what I got. There are plenty of hilarious moments, maybe annoying to some but who cares? If you don't like it after five minutes just stop watching it because the rest of the movie will be the same kind of humor. I thought the chemistry between David Spade and Lauren Lapkus worked perfectly. Rob Schneider and Nick Swardson also added to the comedy, it was just a good mix of comedians. People bashing Lauren Lapkus because she was annoying just don't get it, that's exactly the role she had, to annoy as much people as possible, so I would say very good job doing that. Do I think she was annoying? Definitely, I wouldn't want to know a woman like that in my personal life, but it's a movie so wake up and stop bitching. The story is lighthearted, nothing too serious, just funny, dumb and sometimes vulgar humor, so what? I wish there were more comedies like this one.
