Mr. Right

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.

As a 90's kid that was probably pretty close to either Sam Rockwell's or Anna Kendrick's while this was made, I was brought back to the "quirky" days with this movie. However, I do also remember the specific idea that this movie was trying to be. It is way above average. If you are a child of my generation, you will love this film despite its reliance on the cuteness of the characters. Anna Kendrick does a phenomenal job playing a girl wrapped up in a world she couldn't understand, and Adam Rockwell does good playing an anti-John Wick. Suspension of disbelief is very much required to truly appreciate this film, but if you can, it is actually magical. It's just plain fun. It's almost a period piece. I liked it as much as one possibly could within reality boundaries. Reality is, that with a different generation's eyes, this is probably a cringe piece. However, I enjoyed it. A lot. Kudos to the direction for keeping mostly on point.

'Mr. Right' is an absurd Action-Comedy, but its undeniably Great Fun too! Its fast, witty & violent, but it makes for a good watch, thanks to its mostly Crisp Writing & Strong Performances.

'Mr. Right' Synopsis: A girl falls for the "perfect" guy, who happens to have a very fatal flaw: he's a hit-man on the run from the crime cartels who employ him.

'Mr. Right' induces romance, comedy & some pulsing action in those 92-minutes. Max Landis's Screenplay is crisp & moves on a fast-pace, wasting no time in any unwanted subplots or prolonged sequences. Its perpetually absurd & its fun to see its violent protagonists take on love & the bad-guy in the goings-on. Paco Cabezas's Direction is good. Cinematography & Editing are decent. Action-Sequences are sharply executed.

Performance-Wise: Sam Rockwell & Anna Kendrick are in Tremendous form. Rockwell doesn't miss a beat as the hit-man with a soft heart, while Kendrick is a hoot as the heartbroken & yet love-driven young blood. Kendrick steals the show, reassuring her remarkable talent. Tim Roth is effective, as always. RZA is alright. Others lend able support

On the whole, 'Mr. Right' gets it Right. Recommended!

I read some reviews saying this is "shallow"?! not funny and a bunch of other absurd stuff like that. I mean seriously what depth exactly did you expect from such film?.. Enough with the sofa "experts" saying whatever they read somewhere else and actually review this..

This film is entertaining with a really unique way, (i wont deny that the humor is really not for everyone) They create all sort of weird situations that make you laugh with the fact that they even happening like that.

It also includes some fighting scenes that are actually really good with nice choreography. The plot has no holes in it, and i mean none,everything is covered just fine.

grab some popcorn relax and you will have fun while it lasts. i would recommend 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-.
