Critics Consensus

Lauren Lapkus lifts The Wrong Missy above abject failure, but this lazy comedy will be the wrong option for all but the most Happy Madison-starved viewers.

Read Critics Reviews

Richard Brody

New Yorker

With her idiosyncratic and energetic performance, Lauren Lapkus deserves more nuanced writing and direction than she gets in this cleverly conceived but scattershot romantic comedy.

Amy Nicholson

New York Times

Lapkus embarrasses herself with confidence. Her full-throttle verve transcends the script like a water skier leaping over a Great White.

Rated: D

One can't shake the impression that Spade has been handed his unwanted leftovers.

Manual labor, oral surgery, or even an insurance lecture would be a more entertaining way to spend your time.

Fans of Adam Sandler films will find plenty to enjoy in The Wrong Missy, but everyone else will be left wondering why such a mediocre product could be at all appealing.

The Baffler

The Wrong Missy is a throwaway comedy with an emasculated David Spade in a bad haircut and dye job, less than one-one-hundredth as funny as he was doing monologues on Instagram...

The people who gave this movie a bad review, Are the same ones who didn’t understand Jim Carrey’s humor. This was a cutting edge stupid-funny movie. In my opinion, one of David spades best but it’s really because he played a perfect passive role to counter the brilliance of the gal who played Missy. Worth watching… I’ve seen it twice and will watch it a few more times in my life. Spade was also great in Tommy Boy! 🤣

I can’t understand why this movie is rated so low. I watched it like 4 times and I enjoy it every time.

Hilarious! Not the best movie I’ve ever seen or anything but I think it’s difficult to make a creative and truly funny film and I think they pulled it off

This is the best party movie ever, watched with friends many times, probably more than five. Although it's true, only fifty percent like it, but those who do, do love it!

My favorite guilty-pleasure movie of the last decade. Lauren Lapkus steals the show.
