Leave your thoughts about The Wrong Missy.
| EmpireDavid HughesThe 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. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanThe Wrong Missy is a harmless dumb-meets-smart-mouth comedy that doesn’t necessarily feed your appetite for more Netflix throwaways. But it does make you want to see Lauren Lapkus’s next act. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenThe 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. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoIt’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 because Lapkus is just good enough to allow one to see how this movie could have worked. |
| The New York TimesAmy NicholsonThough the gags are retrograde groaners, Lapkus embarrasses herself with confidence. Her full-throttle verve transcends the script like a water skier leaping over a Great White. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandA gross-out comedy masquerading only in the flimsiest sense as a romance, The Wrong Missy still knows its way around genre convention, but Spindel and company seem compelled to use those expectations to tee up cruel gags that do little to advance the film’s plot or central romance. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzOverriding everything is a profound sense of laziness. Jokes do not land here so much as they ooze forth, slow and noxious. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeEven with locked-down consumers scraping the bottom of the Netflix content trough, this new addition to the lineup is pretty dreary. |
| The PlaylistNicholas LaskinThe Wrong Missy is one of those movies that takes a brain-dead sitcom scenario to the outer limits of what an audience is willing to tolerate. |
| The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyTyler Spindel, a Happy Madison veteran, directs The Wrong Missy with all of the worst tendencies of the Sandler shingle style. It’s a series of claustrophobically unfunny scenes that drag on and on, interspersed with establishing shots and music cues that look and sound like they were licensed from a stock library. |
