NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

merklekranz "Mr. Wrong" had to be written as a "black comedy", but unfortunately misses the mark by a wide margin. The main problem is that the film is not outrageous enough. Bill Pullman's character resorts to becoming a mean stalker after his rejection by Ellen DeGeneris. At this point the movie turns into nothing more than a glorified cartoon. In order for dark comedy to succeed, it can be outrageous, but not mean spirited. Killing perverts to finance their dream restaurant worked wonders in "Eating Raoul". Here, simply destroying someone's life, for one's own pleasure, is totally off-putting, and not funny. A big disappointment, and definitely not "black comedy". - MERK

lissa100771-1 This movie was highly underrated. I found it to be hilarious. We all know Ellen can do comedy, but I never guessed Bill Pullman could. He is great as the stalker boyfriend Whitman. I also have to give props to Joan Cusack for her portrayal of Whitmans ex-girlfriend Inga, who is stalking Ellens character Martha out of jealousy. OK, so this movie would never make the top 10, but it is good for a few laughs. The best part for me was after Whitman met Marthas parents and made such a great impression. Martha urges him to be himself, so he complies and ends up coercing her into stealing beer from a convenient store. Martha ends up dropping the stolen beer out of her coat and the convenient store worker chases her with a bat. Good times.

Tasos Tz. The only reason I am voting for 10 for 'Mr. Wrong', is because it has such low rating. I don't think that it deserves such low rating, as there are some genuinely funny moments in the movie and I would recommend it to anyone for a viewing.There's nothing really original going on, it's just that Bill Pullman is really funny as a crazy guy (the 'Hold The Line' scene is one of my favourites). Ellen DeGeneres is fantastic in my opinion, playing a really down to earth person and she is exceptionally funny.The movie was made in '96, so maybe I am also nostalgic of that time...Anyway rent it, you won't regret it.

vchimpanzee At the start, Martha is in a Mexican jail wearing a wedding dress. So right away you know this is not going to be an ordinary movie.A few months earlier, as she explains to the authorities, Martha was at her sister Annie's wedding. Her parents think Martha will be next to get married, as do about 30 other people. But Martha isn't seeing anyone.Martha works for the KSDG-TV program 'Daybreak San Diego', co-hosted by Dick and Nancy. Walter, one of her co-workers, Walter, is a possible romantic partner. But Martha meets Whitman when he selects the same song she wants on a jukebox. They fall for each other, and he meets her normal parents, and she meets his quirky mother and her maid Consuela. Whitman's family appears to have money, and he doesn't have to work but can afford all sorts of expensive gifts, even though all he does is write poetry. After a while, it becomes clear Whitman has a fun side that Martha is too uptight to appreciate. And things go downhill from there. Not only that, but Whitman's former girlfriend Inga is mentally unbalanced and very jealous. And she has a very large but friendly sidekick named Bob. Things get so bad Martha has to hire private detective Jack Tramonte. During the first half, I thought this was just going to be a standard romantic comedy. But the second half turned out to be anything but normal. Let's just say Martha appears to be the only sane person left, but not for long. Everyone else thinks she's crazy. And what happens would be quite unlikely in real life.I'm not crazy about Ellen DeGeneres, but let's face it. She has this irresistible perky quality about her that works very well here. Not Olsen twins perky, but pleasant. I can't stand Joan Cusack, but I think people might enjoy her demented portrayal of Inga.Most of the music was good. A lot of it came from the 40s and 50s or at least sounded like it (I know Queen recorded 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' around 1980). And Martha went to the opera. There was also Mexican-flavored music in some scenes. And a boys' choir sang 'I Want To Know What Love Is' by Foreigner, which sounds much better here than in the original version. Unfortunately, Whitman liked Foreigner, Toto, Boston and REO Speedwagon.This was a really good movie, once it really got going.
