What to Know

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.

Jason Bailey DVDTalk.com "I wanna do something terrible!" Kendrick announces early in the film, and she at least did that - she did 'Mr. Right.' Jul 9, 2016 Full Review Sandra Hall 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 Jun 15, 2016 Full Review Liz Braun 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 May 26, 2016 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Doesn't get everything right, but in between the quirky trying-too-hard moments are some amiably charming moments. Rated: 2/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Vincent Schilling Indian Country Today 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 Jul 13, 2020 Full Review Jennifer Heaton Alternative Lens The action sequences are a little choppy, but the humour is spot-on and rarely fails to get a laugh. Rated: 8.5/10 Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Ralph P. Rockwell is great especially when he’s demonstrating that… killing is wrong! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review corey d This movie was awesome. People hating on it are way too up their own ass high off their own farts Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Trevor G. Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick are just so much fun to watch on screen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Ron S Irreverent and whimsical, cool and quirky. Light hearted rom-com following two lovable psychos. Flows pretty well with great performances, chemistry and fun. This isn’t the greatest comedy of all-time or even close but it’s enjoyable and fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Jasmin M I really like this movie because it’s like a mixture of action and romance in one… Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Shawn R Totally hilarious!!
