Variety
A risky retro back-step for an up-and-coming young screenwriter with such hip credits as “Chronicle” and “American Ultra” to his name.

Mr. Right (2016)
Anna Kendrick leads this action comedy playing a girl who falls for the best guy ever (Sam Rockwell). There's only two teeny tiny problems: he's a hitman and he's on the run from the syndicate who employed him. Co-stars Tim Roth and RZA. Written by Max Landis (Chronicle, American Ultra).

The Washington Post
The film’s likeable leads almost carry off a dark premise: that the love that strengthens this couple also makes them dangerous.

The New York Times
Has a screwball effervescence, thanks to its leads, and even Fred Astaire flavor.

The Guardian
Grosse Pointe Blank meets Dexter. Liman meets Tarantino. Derivative idea meets sloppy execution.

A crowd-pleaser despite its missteps and occasionally because of them...

Entertainment Weekly
The ludicrous action-flick plot slows to a crawl whenever Kendrick and Rockwell aren’t on screen.

A.V. Club
Landis and Cabezas never figure out how to pitch the ironic pulpiness of Mr. Right as anything other than a glib, pointless joke.
