Critics Consensus

Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick work well together, but Mr. Right is too much of a tonal jumble to take advantage of their chemistry.

"I wanna do something terrible!" Kendrick announces early in the film, and she at least did that - she did 'Mr. Right.'

Sydney Morning Herald

While it's supposed to add up to a witty marriage between romance and anarchy, it's so light on moral implications that it's just tacky.

Rated: 2/5

Toronto Sun

Rockwell and Kendrick are great together, but the movie never quite marries the cute romance and the bloody killings. Most of the time the two leads appear to be on their own in a completely separate movie.

Rated: 2/5

Doesn't get everything right, but in between the quirky trying-too-hard moments are some amiably charming moments.

I love the ridiculous humor in "Mr. Right." Just enough over the top to enjoy it, without losing my attention to the plot, as much as it could never really happen. But who cares, it was super funny.

Rated: 8.2/10

The action sequences are a little choppy, but the humour is spot-on and rarely fails to get a laugh.

"Mr. Right" is a delightful blend of action and romantic comedy that keeps audiences entertained from start to finish. With charismatic performances by Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick, witty dialogue, and inventive action sequences, the film delivers a fresh and enjoyable spin on the genre

To me this is the ocean's 8 version of The hitman's bodyguard in its respective genre. I love Anna Kendrick. Its just is fun, easy to watch, got some laughs, but no it's not a movie to spend hundreds of dollars on in the movie theater, but it's everything I needed for 1.5 hours of entertainment.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

These are the two quirkiest characters to ever quirk their ways off of Tumblr and into each other's lives. I felt the threat of a cutesy ukulele duet hanging over them at all times.

Great chemistry, refreshingly different plotline - quite a few laughs. Well worth it.
