Un marito... quasi perfetto

31 year old Martha is in a Mexican prison in her wedding dress. She tells the detectives how she got into this situation and talks back over the past year back to the day she first met Whitman. They fell in love of course and dated for a while but soon Whitman's personality began to become increasingly worrying and the relationship came to an end. However as Martha finds, Whitman won't let her sabotage her won happiness.

I knew that this film would be a romantic comedy without a great plot and would probably not be that good. However I had hoped that it would have enough wit and energy to it to be fun if not brilliant. However it is actually a bit dopey and really drags along with no fun whatsoever. The film premiered in the UK on channel 5 in the middle of the afternoon schedule of soaps and bad chat shows – that is how much they thought of the rights to this movie.

The plot is really poor – basically Whitman can't accept he's been dumped and starts to freak out Martha. It does nothing funny with this premise whatsoever and it just gets increasingly desperate as it tries to be `wacky' and `off the wall'. Instead I found it tiresome and just plain unfunny. It didn't even seem to be trying hard – it just seemed content to drag it's feet as it went along. Whitman isn't sold as a stalker of any kind and his actions aren't ever explained as they finally go a bit extreme. It ain't funny, it ain't romantic and it left me wondering what the point of it was.

I like DeGeneres even though I know she's rubbish. She does occasionally get some laughs in a poor vehicle. Here she did nothing and if anything just made the film worse! Pullman is usually good in anything he does but he has nothing to work with in a character who is never really given any foundation or basis. The rest of the cast are simply TV support actors which suits the feel of this film. Oh, and special mention to Joan Cusack – what a terrible performance and a terrible career choice! Fire your agent.

Overall this was a waste of 90 minutes and it really felt like it was twice as long as this. It has no natural energy and it just drags along. It is the least funny thing I have ever seen Ellen in.....and that's saying something.

MR. WRONG ** Unfunny comedy, save two or three role-plays, that casts comedian-turned-actress Ellen DeGeneres as a hapless woman with no man in her life, and Bill Pullman as Mr. Right, the fellow she never figured she needed. But the story has seemingly charming Pullman become insensitive and obnoxious - qualities that can be said of what the screenplay evolves into - and DeGeneres wants out when she comes to terms with it. Wasting the talents of all involved, it's one of those films that seems entertaining on commercial release, but disappoints when you actually rent it. Don't waste your time. I saw the movie two or three years ago, and haven't seen it since, nor ever again.

While I love to see movies that are "so bad they're good", this one is just plain AWFUL! I love Bill Pullman (he made me melt in "While You Were Sleeping"), and while it's amusing to see him dressed up as a clown in this movie, he really missed the boat in this role. As for Ellen, I'm sorry, but I can't take her seriously in roles as a "straight" woman, no offense.

I did enjoy hearing Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (one of my favorite songs) in the film. That was one of the few bright spots in this film. The film really crashed and burned in the last 45 minutes. The kids and the guns (which ultimately turned out to be fake) was a very insulting scene.

Don't even waste your money renting this horrible movie!

This movie was another 90 minutes of wasted talent, a poor plot, and sloppy editing until the last few minutes came in. Not only did they make me automatically wish I had done something else, but they made it impossible for logical closure. I was willing to accept that Hollywood spent more money in this stalker comedy then I'll ever make until the last 15 minutes started. I mean, come on! I don't see how the editing room saw this as OK. The First 3 quarters of the movie: 4/10. The Movie altogether: 2/10.

I would have to disagree with the overall rating of this movie- personally I loved it! It's so funny! I would definitely tell anyone that's interested in seeing it to do it and ignore the bad reviews of it- hey who know's you may end up loving it!!!
