Of course, we all know now why Ellen DeGeneres can't find Mr. Right, though she was much less forthcoming when she made this limp comedy in 1996. At that point, while riding the middling success of her TV series, it probably seemed like a good career move to make this increasingly desperate film. She plays Martha, a TV producer in her 30s who is under pressure from both her parents and friends to find the right guy. Then, by accident, she stumbles across Whitman (Bill Pullman), who seems like the ultimate dreamboat: handsome, sensitive, and thoughtful. But his flaws become quickly apparent, and when she tries to break it off, he becomes a stalker. DeGeneres has some funny material early on, then must settle for reacting to Pullman's bizarre behavior. Pullman often is funnier than his costar but neither of them is particularly well served by the cobbled-together script and the generic direction of Nick Castle. --Marshall Fine

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest movies I've ever watched 15 times!, August 12, 1999

By A Customer

I bought this movie because I'm collecting everything Bill Pullman has done, and I will continue to get anything he does in the future. After purchasing it, I watched it, of course, and I admit that I didn't like it. I felt, in fact, very indignant that Mr. Pullman would do something like this. Then I read a transcript of an AOL Chat he did in which he said that he had a blast doing the movie. I decided to give it one more try and watched it again, this time trying to see it as Bill Pullman having fun with a role and as the comedy it was intended to be. I laughed so hard I almost rolled off the couch! Although Ellen DeGeneres is not as funny in this movie as I know she can be, Bill Pullman is hysterically funny. Watch his face and actions during the charades at his "mother's" house. Watch him in the background (the driver's seat of the RV) while Martha is trying to talk the kids out of the RV. The comedically (is that a proper word?) serious western hero saving his girl and the imitation of a Frankenstein monster lurching toward his bride are things that make this movie very funny. If you want to laugh, watch this movie from the perspective that the actors had a good time doing it. You'll love it! You'll watch it again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this movie!, October 27, 2004

By	Warren Demontague (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mr. Wrong (DVD)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it if you love Ellen, March 10, 2005

By	G. A SENDEROFF "GS" (North Miami Beach, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mr. Wrong (DVD)

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst movies...
One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Implausible plot, Cusack is over-the-top. Pullman tries, but can't save this mess. DeGeneres is NOT funny.

3.0 out of 5 stars Joan Cusack never disappoints
This falls more along the lines of a black comedy which may or may not be your taste. I would say if you liked Death Becomes Her you will like this one. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Wrong
I am a fan of both degeneres and pullman, and sadly the chemistry is lacking.... I think the plot or scenario is totally unreal and that makes the movie a flop.

4.0 out of 5 stars R U Sure He's Mr. Right?
Everyone who thinks they've found true love with Mr./Ms. Right should see this movie. Another case of "If it seems to good to be true... it probably is".
