Mr. Wrong

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.

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.

Mr.Wrong has been unfairly reviewed. Designed as a vehicle for the considerable comic talents of Ellen Degeneres, this perhaps wasn't what many people were expected. Okay so its got a glossy sheen and typical 'madcap' comedy music but its tone is much darker than your average comedy.

Ellen plays Martha, a single women who thinks shes found the man of her dreams in Whitman, played with creepy assurance, by Bill Pullman. After making the mistake of telling him to act like himself, it becomes clear that he is completely insane.

He makes her shoplift, sends her endlessly random gifts, steals mexican kids for her and in the most uncomfortable scene of all, in an effort to show her how much he loves her, he breaks his finger for her.

For some people this may sound more like the plot of a thriller and some critics did find the film a little distasteful but for black comedy fans, this is great fun. Degeneres is fantastic as the goofy heroine, providing most of the films laughs.

The random humour of the film is what makes it really funny. Disgruntled ex Joan Cusack's attempts to strike back at Degeneres are great. 'Do you want gum in your hair?', 'Prepare to be consumed by ants!', 'Don't be nice to her! Pull her hair!'

It may not be to everyone's tastes but this is a real comedy gem.

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!

Hello, my name is Pursy and I am 17 years old. I first saw this movie when I was around 10 years old. It was such an enjoyable experience. I love this movie. I think the actors are great in it and they definitely know how to make people laugh. I rented it often and when I finally saw it for sale at a store, I bought it. I watch it to this day and still laugh like I did when I first saw it. Yes, I will admit that it is a bit out there and I can definitely see why most people don't like the movie but when you look past all that and see the movie for what it really is, it's a great movie and it really hurts me to see such negative attitudes and comments about it. If I could thank any two people in this world, I would want to thank Ellen DeGeneres and Bill Pullman for making such a hysterical movie. Thanks You.
