It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This was most unrealistic, though for a film it is fine if you got entertained. Kind of quirky, but the locations were awesome. Feels like it is happening somewhere in the Swiss Alps. That is what I loved the most in this film, all the background views were just like that I see them in the wallpapers. And not to forget the actors, comes second who were really into their characters. But the story was silly, and instantly forgettable film.So it is about a failed writer who now washes dishes for a living. His wife divorced him criticising his lack of everything in the life. Her success through his failure puts him further backwards. But one day when he saw a bride, he suddenly falls in love with her. Despite knowing she just got married, he never stops pursuing her. So he has to face various obstacles for impossible dream and the end is to reveal where he's going to end.It was based on the book called 'Sex and Senset', though changing title for the screen adaptation seems appealing enough. This Canadian film is okay for timepass. This is not really a great romantic tale, but some people might find it better. For me it was just fine, like a mixed feeling. But I won't suggest it to others as it is not that kind of awesome product. So if you decide to watch it, I hope you enjoy it.5/10

The Right Kind of Wrong (2013): Dir: Jeremiah S. Chechik / Cast: Ryan Kwanten, Sara Canning, Ryan McPartlin, Kristen Hager, Catherine O'Hara: Wayward charm opens this romantic comedy about decisions. Leo is a dishwasher who becomes infatuated with a woman on her wedding day. This presents all sorts of problems with the bride and groom whom he feels are not right for each other. It opens effectively with his girlfriend breaking up with him. She exploits him with an online blog that bashes his every characteristic. She leaves and becomes an instant success with a book about exploiting his faults. He sets his sights on newly married Colette and this is where things become wayward. Leo is correct in that the groom is a wealthy jock handed everything but his stalking tactics are presented as cute and charming when in reality it is creepy and obnoxious. We know how it ends but it is questionable at best in terms of its ethics. Directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik who made the holiday classic National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. The screenplay is detailed and Ryan Kwanten provides the right awkward response as Leo whose humiliation and fear of heights never deter him. Sara Canning plays the feisty Colette stunned by this unwanted attention. Kristen Hager steals moments as Leo's ex. Ryan McPartlin as the groom is weak in his over the top standard jock snob presentation. Catherine O'Hara is featured briefly as Canning's mother who tutors Kwanten on his quest. It is a romantic comedy about being the right person for the wrong circumstance and the sparks that ignite. Score: 7 ½ / 10

Although the plot doesn't match, story is basically a lot like that part of the TV show Just Shoot Me wherein David Spade's character fools a model into marrying him. Why? He's a sleaze, so is her current boyfriend, you can't really root for either one because they're both victimizing her. The main character is like David Spade's character, but the woman is more twisted.It's a suckily written movie about horrible people (nearly all the characters; not just one or two). Unfortunately, the shooting locations in Canada are so gorgeous I watched the whole thing anyway. I wish they hadn't overexposed so often and color graded so far into the yellow range though, as it kind of ruins the sky and people's faces. It'd be better to just watch a documentary about Calgary and Banff instead though.Maybe you could watch it with the sound off, except the last 20 minutes or so 'cause there's visually gross stuff, and it would be enjoyable that way. Oh well.

Quite honestly, I am surprised that this movie is getting such great reviews. To begin with, the main character, Leo, falls in love with Colette, a complete stranger, on her wedding day. He pretends that he is a guest at her wedding and proceeds to hit on Colette in front of her husband which (obviously) causes a scene and gets him kicked out. In a later scene, the bride's mother comments that she thought his actions were "ballsy". No, actually, it is extremely creepy and inappropriate to behave like that and cause such a scene at a strangers wedding.The rest of the movie is dedicated to watching Leo's multiple attempts to get Colette's attention. She rejects his advances numerous times but he won't stop bothering her. Eventually, this starts causing problems in her marriage and she winds up with Leo by the end of the movie. The plot of this movie disturbs me. After multiple rejections, he will not leave her alone and I couldn't understand why Colette and her husband were being so nice about it. 3/4 of the way through, the husband steps in and threatens Leo, which is the movie's attempt to make the husband look like the bad guy but the reality is that Leo is the bad guy. He interferes with complete strangers lives/marriage and will not quit until he gets what he wants. In typical romantic comedy fashion, they try to make his advances seem innocent and endearing however any normal person in real life would have taken out a restraining order about a half hour into the movie. I am tired of romantic comedies glorifying stalking behaviors that would normally get you arrested.
