The Right Kind of Wrong (2014)

Thanks for the memories!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

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

Its not totally fresh but its funny.Its not the best kind of a love story but its romantic.its everything the title says it is...it is wrong but it feels right.the concept of loving a married woman,it was really weird for me in the beginning but it grew on me.The cast is good.I usually never write about the story in a review so that others can have a completely open mind as to what they will get to watch...just if its good or bad.But if you do decide to give it a try read the description of the basic plot and if you r okay with the silliness of it ,then expect some heartwarming scenes with touches of humour.You wont be disappointed.I agree with some of the other reviewers here those have said that there was much more scope for comedy. because the story itself is funny it could easily have produced laugh out loud moments without trying harder. i just feel that its a different take.so it feels much more real and relatable. i don't know whats real in loving a married woman on her wedding day but hey,i would definitely recommend it. it was good fun for me. and lol now you know that you can actually write a very long review and still manage to talk nothing about the plot.

A talented young cast, a reasonably workable premise and yet dis-jointed editing and writing that misses the joke more than it hits make this a disappointment. I very much wanted this to be funnier. there were so many chances and nothing.. I will not put this on the cast,although Catherine O'Hara was under- utilized in this storyline. Incorporating her into the early "stalker" scenes would have reduced the potential creepieness, and her ability to lift a dialogue would have been wonderful for character development. Smoother more natural directing would have made this a gem.

From my viewpoint there's nothing much wrong with the Right Kind of Wrong. At first I figured it would be another low budget trite teen comedy. But instead I viewed triumph of the spirit. A film about a good guy(Ryan Kwanten) down on himself because of his marriage breakdown.Then its love at first sight with a new bride at her wedding (Sara Canning). He becomes obsessed with winning her away from her husband. In the process he discovers his true self and his new love discovers him.Now to top this off, the film was shot amidst the rustic and majestic splendor of Alberta, Canada. And to be honest, it is a plus factor for tourism there.I'm going. This was a thoroughly enjoyable film.
