Martha finds everything she could want in a man when she encounters Francis. But she may find more than she wanted when she learns he is a crime cartel hitman running from his employers.
Sam Rockwell (Francis), Anna Kendrick (Martha), Tim Roth (Hopper/Reynolds), James Ransone (Von), Anson Mount (Richard), Michael Eklund (Johnny), RZA (Steve), Katie Nehra (Sophie), Jaiden Kaine (Bruce).
Mr. Right launches with Martha being dumped which propels us into her encounter and blooming relationship with Francis. While Martha thinks she has found the perfect guy for her, she hasn't yet learned his is a hit man on the run from his employers. The comedy comes in the form of honesty from Francis, and disbelief from Martha. Once on the same page things get more interesting through the Happy Ever After ending.
Acting was enjoyable with Rockwell delivering another unusual character nicely. Kendrick was solid and more fun than expected, though not quite the bombshell fit one would expect. Roth was solid as usual and a good fit for his role. RZA was a great choice, brought some good humor to things and delivered well. Ransone, Mount, and the remainder of the supporting cast were decent.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds are nicely done with a solid feel. CGI was mild but fitting and added nicely to the film. Action scenes were fun without taking over the story. Dialogue had some nice laughs blended in with the drama. Sound and soundtrack are enjoyable.
While Mr. Right may not win any big awards, it is a fun film with a bit more depth than some. The characters and plot are developed well with good attention to detail. Those who enjoy a light-hearted romantic comedy should enjoy this one.
With some mild sexuality, violence, and foul language, this one is rated R but good luck keeping the teens away.
