Worth it if you love Ellen

"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 love this movie!

"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."

Wacky - Calling all girls with broken heart

"If you are a female, feel frustrated about not meeting a nice guy and can't figure out "why me" - you have to see this one. I absolutely adore this movie. I am a product of the late 70's/early 80's and so many references in this movie were spot on. I think that this is absolutely the best movie that Joan Cussak has done and Bill Pullman really shows his comic acting ability. I was lucky enough to meet Bill Pullman personally, while working for a leading airlines, and he was a delight. He indicated that this was one of his favorite projects. Ellen is at a comic best, although knowing she does not date men, I had to try and put this out of my mind. I have seen it maybe 100 times and never tire of it. The soundtrack is fantastic to the movie. It really is genius. I know it is silly - and some of it is a far stretch... However, there is so many truths. Flo (Polly ?) from the sitcom Alice plays her mother, and the actress who plays Bill Pullmans Mom is fantastic. It is really a great feel good movie, and just when you think that a guy is all together (wealthy and handsome) you realize it isn't always how it seems... Do yourself a favor and enjoy this one. It is great!"

A Fun Film

"I suspect more women will appreciate the film than men because there are shades of Mr. Wrong in situations that many of us have found ourselves in, so it is fun to laugh at the punched-up versions that happen to Martha (Ellen DeGeneres). This film is for you, if you can relax and enjoy inane comedy, but if you are looking for subtle, highbrow comedy, then this isn't for you. I would have liked to see more scenes with the antics of Wit (Bill Pullman), but hopefully a longer version will be released on DVD.Comedy is hard to do and Bill Pullman deserves extra credit for being able to laugh at, and along with, MAN-kind."
