Summary: Leo Palamino (Ryan Kwanten) has dedicated his life to what some may call impossible dreams. At least his ex-wife Julie would call them that. But Leo is an expert at not listening to her criticism or anyone else’s for that matter because Leo is a stubborn romantic. It is precisely this refusal to listen to criticism that drove his ex-wifeLeo Palamino (Ryan Kwanten) has dedicated his life to what some may call impossible dreams. At least his ex-wife Julie would call them that. But Leo is an expert at not listening to her criticism or anyone else’s for that matter because Leo is a stubborn romantic. It is precisely this refusal to listen to criticism that drove his ex-wife Julie to blog about Leo’s flaws as their relationship broke down. A blog called Why You Suck that would become a cultural phenomenon. And so when we meet Leo Palamino, he is a romantic dreamer, a dedicated writer, a dishwasher in a tourist trap, and a celebrity, a man famous for his flaws. Then one afternoon, as the very dejected Leo watches Julie being interviewed on a talk show about her upcoming book, he lays eyes on the woman of his dreams as she enters a wedding across the street from Leo’s house.

When the movie isn't forcing its cuteness or R-rated humor, there's a frisson of genuine screwball to The Right Kind of Wrong. Read full review

Mistakenly convinced that cuteness can compensate for a lack of basic believability, The Right Kind Of Wrong squanders its engaging leads and cheerful joviality with a plot of stupefying senselessness. Read full review

The Right Kind of Wrong is the kind of comedy that asks an audience to find borderline-stalking behavior charming. Read full review

Rife with rom-com cliches and jaw-droppingly idiotic situations, the story is so off-putting that its irrationality becomes almost secondary to its pointless attempts to prove that opposites really do attract -- when they’re actually not as divergent as they first appear. Read full review

Jeremiah Chechick's The Right Kind of Wrong has more wrong than right and plays like an ode to testicle jokes. Read full review

The film is so in love with its unoriginal premise that it can't see the forest for the trees, treating reality like an occasionally relevant prop and stalking as a sweetly romantic gesture. Read full review

Love at bride sight.

This was most unrealistic, though for a film it is fine if you got entertained. Kind of quirky, but the locations were awesome. Feels like it is happening somewhere in the Swiss Alps. That is what I loved the most in this film, all the background views were just likeLove at bride sight.

This was most unrealistic, though for a film it is fine if you got entertained. Kind of quirky, but the locations were awesome. Feels like it is happening somewhere in the Swiss Alps. That is what I loved the most in this film, all the background views were just like that I see them in the wallpapers. And not to forget the actors, comes second who were really into their characters. But the story was silly, and instantly forgettable film.

So it is about a failed writer who now washes dishes for a living. His wife divorced him criticising his lack of everything in the life. Her success through his failure puts him further backwards. But one day when he saw a bride, he suddenly falls in love with her. Despite knowing she just got married, he never stops pursuing her. So he has to face various obstacles for impossible dream and the end is to reveal where he's going to end.

It was based on the book called 'Sex and Senset', though changing title for the screen adaptation seems appealing enough. This Canadian film is okay for timepass. This is not really a great romantic tale, but some people might find it better. For me it was just fine, like a mixed feeling. But I won't suggest it to others as it is not that kind of awesome product. So if you decide to watch it, I hope you enjoy it.
