Mr. Right

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.

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

My reservations at the beginning of this movie were simply that, in the early romantic comedy scenes, Rockwell (whom I love) is simply too old for Anna Kendrick. The actors are 16 years apart, but Kendrick looks young for her age and Rockwell looks old* for his age, magnifying the effect.

But, as the film descends into utter madness, you realize that these two super hero/super villain/ psychos are perfect for each other, and with interests so...unusual...they would never find anyone else, so bless 'em.

Watch this if, against your better judgment, you're always a little sad that Veronica & JD don't end up together at the end of Heathers. Oh, and RZA is an under-appreciated acting talent.

*But he's a great little dancer.

"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 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.
