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

| Jul 9, 2016

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 15, 2016

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 26, 2016

Mr. Right isn't a bad movie as much as it is two-and-a-half, maybe three bad movies playing all at the same time.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 26, 2016

"Mr. Right" hires two charismatic lead actors, Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell, then expects them to carry a movie with almost no compelling reason to exist.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 11, 2016

Rockwell, who literally dances his way through battle scenes with guns and knives, hasn't had a role this satisfying in years.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 8, 2016

The ludicrous action-flick plot slows to a crawl whenever Kendrick and Rockwell aren't on screen (although RZA has a fun cameo as a kindhearted gunman), but the unlikely duo make this candy-colored carnival of blood and romance hard to resist.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 8, 2016

Kendrick and Rockwell score every hit they can with screenwriter Max Landis's hit-or-miss chatter. Kendrick has always been funny, but has she ever been let loose like this?

| Apr 8, 2016

"Mr. Right" is very, very, very wrong.

| Original Score: D | Apr 8, 2016

"Mr. Right" has a screwball effervescence, thanks to its leads, and even Fred Astaire flavor.

| Apr 7, 2016

Despite more ironic music cues, the movie falls in a subgenre that has been largely immune to creeping Tarantinoism: the rom-com.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 7, 2016

Director Paco Cabezas seems technically capable, and manages to make New Orleans look like a place instead of a romantic ideal or ruined cityscape. Better perhaps to put the blame on Max Landis' overweening screenplay.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 7, 2016

Rockwell and Kendrick, both of whom can really sell this film's brand of laid-back quirk, keep things lively ...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 7, 2016

Landis and Cabezas never figure out how to pitch the ironic pulpiness of Mr. Right as anything other than a glib, pointless joke.

| Original Score: C | Apr 7, 2016

It has a bouncy sense of lunacy, wearing its derivative junkiness on its sleeve with surprising lightness of authority.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 3, 2016

A screwball hit-man comedy in the Grosse Pointe universe, it's like what you'd get if Nora Ephron wrote True Lies while high.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 22, 2016

It's ultimately too much kookiness for one romantic comedy to handle.

| Feb 19, 2016

For viewers who can embrace this fizzy blend of mystic-assassin worship and cutesy at-first-sight romance, though, Paco Cabezas' action rom-com will be the best thing since Grosse Pointe Blank.

| Feb 19, 2016

Rockwell and Kendrick's selling points - stoner loucheness for him, peppy weirdness for her - are a strange mix with the screwball tone.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 19, 2015
