Critics Consensus

Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick work well together, but Mr. Right is too much of a tonal jumble to take advantage of their chemistry.

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

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.

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.

Doesn't get everything right, but in between the quirky trying-too-hard moments are some amiably charming moments.

I love the ridiculous humor in "Mr. Right." Just enough over the top to enjoy it, without losing my attention to the plot, as much as it could never really happen. But who cares, it was super funny.

The action sequences are a little choppy, but the humour is spot-on and rarely fails to get a laugh.

A stupid nonsensical american comedy. How can someone be right by killing people?

I'm disappointed at the bad reviews on this movie. It's one of my favorite films! It's funny and exciting, the story is great, and the actors are perfect for their roles. Seriously, what is going on here?? Ten years later and this movie still stands up! I really wish they'd made a #2 because I need more.

It’s funny, it’s action packed, it’s wholesome. Absolutely worth watching.

Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick play off each other so well. This is just a fun, silly movie with a little "assassin" flare that moves very fast. The fight scene are choreographed really well. Sam nails it.

It’s a chick flick and one for the boys too. Corny as, but as far as romantic comedies go the romance, the comedy and the action doesn’t stop
