 | I got this movie on pay per view last weekend and just flat didn't understand it. I think Ellen Degenerous is as funny as Bill Engvall and Louis Anderson most of the time but I didn't get this story. I thought Ellen liked girls and this fact was known by everyone. So why is she making a movie about liking a guy(the super actor Bill Pullman)that goes psycho. I knew she dated Anne Hench who I guess went psycho on her in real life. Hench also did a movie where she liked a guy. Please, I'm not very smart so make movies that I can understand. If you like girls so be it, in fact I'm totally cool with it, but don't pretend to fall for the great Bull Pillman if you don't like guys anyway. It's not like I would do a thriller with Natalie Portman and date a dude in real life. I'm totally straight and would date Natalie Portman in real life. So please quit confusing me with these kinds of films. |

 | This is a silly movie and the reason that I write this review is to offset the unfavorable reviews of this film - AND I LIKED IT. If you like movies such as Ruthless People and Big Business and 90's comedy, this is for you (even though it was done more recently).
Mr. Wrong is one of the coolest movies to just watch over and over and over and over again. I highly recommend getting together with your significant other and just enjoy the heck outta this flick. There is nothing brainy about it, it is not a drama, it delivers what is intended, PURE FUN! Come on, people! |

 | I found this movie to be very stupid. The first hour of the movie is not too bad, but quickly got stupid when Bill Pullmans character went nuts. The characters of Inga and Bob also added to the movie being over the top weird.
The thing that made it shoot up to stupid though was when Bill Pullmans charactor gives Ellen's character drugs and takes her to Mexico to get married and tells her that they will be adopting two little Mexican girls. |

 | Great casting, well paced script, funny funny funny. A little wacky at times, but each actor commits to every line.
My favorite scenes:
-Ellen/Martha's reaction to Pullman/Whitman's poetry
-Pullman character's "reveal"
-Charades with Ellen, Plowright and Pullman
-Ellen sharing her good news with sister Hope Davis
-Pullman's big butt
One of my all time favorite movies, I've seen it several times and always enjoy it. |

 | Good comedy should have a strong sense of reality. After all, laughter is a release of frustrations and pain that takes place in your real life. This movie just is not realistic. Ellen is great, and the film could have been good if it kept to realism. That altar scene is one example. Half way thru, I lost interest. Save your money! |
