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

The 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.

Rated: 1/5

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...

I can see why it could be rated low... but I enjoy this movie. It is funny, light hearted romantic comedy. As her grows to low her, so do you the audience.
