One of my all time favorites.

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Disappointment for a huge fan!

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It's quite horrible. Ellen DeGeneres has been one of my favorite comedians for a long time, but her first foray into feature films was quite a mind blowing experience and mostly in a negative way.It's not that there is anything wrong with the premise. DeGeneres plays a woman who's getting on in years and meets a seemingly perfect man, Whit played by Bill Pullman. He seems to be perfect until Martha (DeGeneres' character) makes the fatal mistake of telling him to be himself. What happens next: Martha discovers he's a complete lunatic.Everyone is terrible in this movie, even a seasoned pro like Dean Stockwell as a slimy private detective and by far the worst comedic performance of that year is performed by Joan Cusack as Whit's even more psychotic ex.If one can call it a redeeming quality, the film does spark some weird curiosity of how it all ends. However, the end is incomprehensible and totally unbelievable. It seems as if the writers just gave up and said: "Well, we can't make it any worse!" DeGeneres hasn't had a starring role since this disaster, although she had a fairly good supporting role in EdTV.What more can you say except this was a total misfire from everyone involved. Bob Goulet did however do a fairly good job of playing, Bob Goulet.

Mr. Wrong is a little different as far as comedies go, but hey, so is Ellen. That's why we love her! So it may take a little open-mindedness to get into it at first but my advice is to trust in Ellen and stick with it. Perhaps Ellen is not for everyone and chances are that if you don't like her stand up or other stuff, then you will very likely not like this movie. However, it is one of my favorite comedies. I have seen it at least 5 times and will definitely see it again. This may be because there is really nothing else like it, it is very unique. It is very absurd and painfully real at times as far as the human tendency to misjudge others and pay a lot for this mistake. So you laugh and groan and generally admire Ellen's brilliance throughout. It is very reflective of Ellen's tendency to incorporate the many ironies of modern culture into her work and I personally wouldn't have it any other way. Bill Pulman and Joan Cusak are rib-splittingly funny in this too.

At the start, Martha is in a Mexican jail wearing a wedding dress. So right away you know this is not going to be an ordinary movie.A few months earlier, as she explains to the authorities, Martha was at her sister Annie's wedding. Her parents think Martha will be next to get married, as do about 30 other people. But Martha isn't seeing anyone.Martha works for the KSDG-TV program 'Daybreak San Diego', co-hosted by Dick and Nancy. Walter, one of her co-workers, Walter, is a possible romantic partner. But Martha meets Whitman when he selects the same song she wants on a jukebox. They fall for each other, and he meets her normal parents, and she meets his quirky mother and her maid Consuela. Whitman's family appears to have money, and he doesn't have to work but can afford all sorts of expensive gifts, even though all he does is write poetry. After a while, it becomes clear Whitman has a fun side that Martha is too uptight to appreciate. And things go downhill from there. Not only that, but Whitman's former girlfriend Inga is mentally unbalanced and very jealous. And she has a very large but friendly sidekick named Bob. Things get so bad Martha has to hire private detective Jack Tramonte. During the first half, I thought this was just going to be a standard romantic comedy. But the second half turned out to be anything but normal. Let's just say Martha appears to be the only sane person left, but not for long. Everyone else thinks she's crazy. And what happens would be quite unlikely in real life.I'm not crazy about Ellen DeGeneres, but let's face it. She has this irresistible perky quality about her that works very well here. Not Olsen twins perky, but pleasant. I can't stand Joan Cusack, but I think people might enjoy her demented portrayal of Inga.Most of the music was good. A lot of it came from the 40s and 50s or at least sounded like it (I know Queen recorded 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' around 1980). And Martha went to the opera. There was also Mexican-flavored music in some scenes. And a boys' choir sang 'I Want To Know What Love Is' by Foreigner, which sounds much better here than in the original version. Unfortunately, Whitman liked Foreigner, Toto, Boston and REO Speedwagon.This was a really good movie, once it really got going.

The sexual chemistry between Ellen DeGeneres and Bill Pullman radiates from the screen in a scorching erotic comedy! Terrific performances and dead-on casting combine with a brilliantly witty and profound script. Bill Pullman's Adonis-like face and physique are a revelation, and DeGeneres shows an voluptuous and sensual eroticism that burns up the screen. Distinguished actors Joan Cusack and Joan Plowright also give powerfully comedic supporting performances, but it is DeGeneres and Pullman's hypnotic performances that compel the viewer's gaze. This tasteful but carnal comedy was unjustly overlooked in the theaters; home viewers can now remedy their oversight by savoring the sensual delights of two accomplished thespians reveling in a passionate and insatiable animal attraction!
