The Wrong Missy
David Spade (Joe Dirt) leads this Netflix comedy as a meek fellow who meets the girl of his dreams. But when he texts her to join him on a luxury company retreat, he accidentally sends the invite to a crazy blind date (Lauren Lapkus, The Big Bang Theory) who graciously - and loudly - accepts.

pressWith humour as about as subtle as a brick, The Righteous Gemstones’ writers Chris Pappas and Kevin Barnett create “comedy gold” out of physical disabilities, vomiting in a shark tank and a Merman outfit.
Los Angeles Times

Hollywood Reporter
pressEven with locked-down consumers scraping the bottom of the Netflix content trough, this new addition to the lineup is pretty dreary.
The New York Times

Empire Magazine
pressSpade and director Tyler Spindel have reunited for another Sandler-produced, Netflix-bankrolled comedy, and the results are… surprisingly funny.

pressIt’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—Lapkus is just good enough to show how this movie could have worked.
Variety

IndieWire
pressSpade and co-star Lauren Lapkus are weirdly charming as normal people, but the latest Happy Madison effort has no time for real romance.
