Starring: Anna Kendrick, James Ransone, Sam Rockwell, The RZA, Tim Roth

Summary: Hyperactive at the best of times, Martha (Anna Kendrick) has gone full-on manic since her latest breakup. She babbles, parties like a monster, cooks everything in sight - and is looking to do something terrible when she meets Francis (Sam Rockwell). To anyone else, Francis's approach would come across as creepy, but Martha can't help but beHyperactive at the best of times, Martha (Anna Kendrick) has gone full-on manic since her latest breakup. She babbles, parties like a monster, cooks everything in sight - and is looking to do something terrible when she meets Francis (Sam Rockwell). To anyone else, Francis's approach would come across as creepy, but Martha can't help but be intrigued. They seem a perfect match: she's bananas, he's bananas... except he's a deadly sort of bananas. He's a professional assassin. Francis is a hitman with a cause: he unexpectedly kills the people ordering the hits. Just as Martha begins to realize her new beau wasn't joking when he said he had to step out for a moment to shoot someone, things start heating up for Francis. His services are solicited by a dubious client who's being sought by an equally dubious FBI agent (Tim Roth). As the bodies pile up, Martha needs to decide whether to flee or join in the mayhem.… Expand

The chemistry between Rockwell and Kendrick drives the movie. They’re fast and wonderful together. But Mr. Right has an abundance of strong supporting performances as well. Read full review

The movie wears its situational zaniness lightly and depends on the rapid-fire dialogue, charm and killer chemistry of its romantic duo. Just enjoy its loopy pleasures. Read full review

A crowd-pleaser despite its missteps and occasionally because of them, the pic enlivens some stale conceits about killers-for-hire and the women who love them. Read full review

Clowning, bullet-riddled rom-com Mr. Right is awfully charming in the best and worse senses of the phrase. It's often kind of awful but also weirdly effervescent, a movie that salves, with its stars' radiance and charisma, even as it grates. Read full review

Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell have often been the lone bright spot in otherwise dismal movies, and it takes their combined charm to redeem Mr. Right. Read full review

If truth in advertising applied to movies, they would have titled this one "Reheated Cultural Leftovers." Read full review

Mr Right is Grosse Pointe Blank meets Dexter. Liman meets Tarantino. Derivative idea meets sloppy execution. Read full review

I loved this movie the awkwardness and silliness where just the right amount. It was freakishly fun watching sweet awkward Kendrick melt down to this bad-ass killer that makes you want to giggle in her presence vs cringe... that is as long as her kitten ears aren't on and you aren't kissingI loved this movie the awkwardness and silliness where just the right amount.

I actually enjoyed this show. As long as it does not take itself seriously I can shut the grey matter down and just enjoy the show and I really did enjoy it. It was fun to watch and I thought the irreverent tone and campyness were positives for the show. There were many scenes where II actually enjoyed this show.

It was fun to watch and I thought the irreverent tone and campyness were positives for the show. There were many scenes where I laughed and gaffed at the dialogue and action sequences. I do not consider this a drama or romatic show, it consider it a weak romcom with strong campy & aloof humor. I though both main actor/actress worked well together and would like to see a sequel but box office performance will likely make that impossible. What a shame, I stumbled on this and really enjoyed watching.… Expand

Mr. Right seems like a product where those in charge didn’t know if their plans were for a whacky rom-com action flick or simply a violent Tarantino imitation. The end result is a mildly entertaining 90 minutes, but nothing more.

Sam Rockwell knocks it out of the park as a goofy, charming ex-hitman, and honestly all of the acting is great. The problem is the production value - it's terrible; the directing, the script, the credits are literally Times New Roman 12 pt font, yuck.

The problem is the production value - it's terrible; the directing, the script, the credits are literally Times New Roman 12 pt font, yuck. Thankfully the leads have chemistry because this writing is hit-or-miss. I can't recommend this movie because the plot is so frustrating, but I did get some laughs and the performances are spot on.… Expand

This is classic example of Hollywood's latest attempt at being creative: a dumb plot, dumb exaggerated characters, throw in some of the latest pop hits, a little self-awareness, and you've got yourself Mr. Right. There's almost nothing here to salvage outside of a decent performance by JamesThis is classic example of Hollywood's latest attempt at being creative: a dumb plot, dumb exaggerated characters, throw in some of the latest pop hits, a little self-awareness, and you've got yourself Mr. Right. There's almost nothing here to salvage outside of a decent performance by James Ransone and some good chemistry between Rockwell and Kendrick. Also, Tim Roth is utterly wasted in this movie. Take his character out and maybe, just maybe, it may have been a 4 or 5.… Expand
