Synopsis: Like most single women, Martha Alston is looking for her soulmate. She thinks she finds him in Whitman Crawford, a handsome, charming man who -- at first -- appears to be Mr. Right. But before you... Like most single women, Martha Alston is looking for her soulmate. She thinks she finds him in Whitman Crawford, a handsome, charming man who -- at first -- appears to be Mr. Right. But before you can say "Fatal Attraction," Whit begins exhibiting very disturbing behavior, such as shoplifting for the fun of it, and deliberately breaking his finger to prove his love for Martha. Naturally Martha backs off, but unfortunately, Whit is now obsessively in love with her. As a result, he becomes a perpetual presence in her life, with his bizarre antics causing her constant chaos and embarrassment. How far will Martha go to rid herself of Mr. Wrong? And how far will Whit go to prove he's the man of her dreams? [More]

  • Mr. Wrong
  • Here's the outrageous and hilarious comedy that matches one of America's hottest comics -- Ellen DeGeneres -- with handsome comedy favorite Bill Pullman (WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING). Together, they deliver a riotously funny look at the agonizing dating games of the '90s! He seems like Martha's perfect dream date ... until he unexpectedly turns her hopeful search for Mr. Right into the nightmare of winding up with Mr. Wrong! With a first-rate cast and a hot hit soundtrack adding to the fun, critics and audiences nationwide couldn't stop laughing along with this sidesplitting comedy hit!

    The hip, smart yarn has a bite not seen in American movies since The War of the Roses.

    This is a romantic comedy parody, but how can you satirize something that's a comedy to begin with? If this motion picture is an example, not only can't it be done, but the result is downright ugly.

    As directed sloppily by Nick Castle, this comedy barely lets its main characters develop, even though either of them could be great fun.

    A sour, listless debunking of romantic comedies.

    Like its title character, Mr. Wrong doesn't know when to quit.
