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.'

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

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.

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

You have to suspend belief a bit, but it’s kind of a fun, funny movie. Rockwell carries on his dancing & killing from Charlie’s Angels as a reformed contract killer and helps Kendrick find her inner T-Rex. Tim Roth is his usual self.

Wasn't sure it was going to work at first but turned out their chemistry was spot on. The film was highly entertaining and crazy in a fun way. Love Sam Rockwell, great actor and Anna Kendrick has grown on me and of course there's the fab Tim Roth. Highly enjoyable. Would love there to be a 2nd film but they don't always turn out as good as the first.

Just watch Grosse Pointe Blank instead if you want to watch this (it’s rated 82% on here btw… definitely beats this 45%) It’s rated a 15 Came out in 1997 Comedy/Action and only 1h 47m It’s funny, decent music, shows a clearer understanding of morals and human behaviour. Where as Mr.Right, on the other hand… feels like it’s tried to recreate something that didn’t quite work out. I may need to watch it again in a few months, perhaps my view will change.

I enjoyed this movie very much, great chemistry between the leads, moves alone nicely, the gags worked well, the whimsical nature of the movie is endearing.

I actually really enjoyed this. It was romantic and lighthearted and "weird" without taking itself too seriously, ( like some of these other crtitcs seem to). I laughed, I was totally sold on the two leads chemistry, it was a good old romp. I loved it, and I would love more. That feeling of questioning yourself because others don't get it but also knowing your feelings and thoughts are genuine. That's gold. That hit home. Also the action sequences and the almost supernatural "force" of knowing where things and people would be, more gold. LOVE love love. Really. See for yourself. And quit being so f#@$g jaded.
