The Wrong Missy Reviews

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.

| Jul 27, 2020

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

| Original Score: D | May 21, 2020

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

| Original Score: D+ | May 18, 2020

It's far from even "50 First Dates," another island-set Sandler-land rom-com, but in a weird way, "The Wrong Missy" works.

| Original Score: B- | May 18, 2020

I was vaguely amused here and there. This is every bit an Adam Sandler movie... If you're gonna watch this kind of movie, then you're gonna watch this kind of movie.

"The Wrong Missy" is a lightweight throwaway, the kind of movie it is difficult to suggest one actually choose to watch, but if your algorithm somehow lands on it provides a certain harmless diversion.

Lapkus is funny (her work on the podcast and 온라인카지노추천 versions of Comedy Bang! Bang! is wonderful), but the material she's given here is grotesque.

Even with locked-down consumers scraping the bottom of the Netflix content trough, this new addition to the lineup is pretty dreary.

| May 14, 2020

Sandler has packaged far worse films for Netflix, and watching "The Wrong Missy" it's easy to sit back and give in to the movie's it-is-what-it-is-ness.

| May 14, 2020

Overriding everything is a profound sense of laziness. Jokes do not land here so much as they ooze forth, slow and noxious.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 13, 2020

The film's obsession with regularly picking the dumbest, meanest option ensures even its strengths will be buried under a pile of crap.

| Original Score: C- | May 13, 2020

It's almost a shame that the film overall isn't better and that David Spade doesn't give half the effort of his co-star -- Lapkus is just good enough to show how this movie could have worked.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 13, 2020

The Wrong Missy is a little hit-and-miss, but it's funny and inventive, and Lapkus is good enough to make the word "zany" tolerable again.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 13, 2020
