Mr. Right
[The stars] are so utterly in their wheelhouses that their daffy line readings and simpatico physicality create a...delirious super-chemistry.
Mr. Right
Hyperactive at the best of times, Martha (Anna Kendrick) has gone full-on manic since her latest breakup. She babbles, parties like a monster, cooks everything in sight — and is looking to do something terrible when she meets Francis (Sam Rockwell). To anyone else, Francis’s approach would come across as creepy, but Martha can’t help but be intrigued. They seem a perfect match: she's bananas, he's bananas... except he's a deadly sort of bananas. He’s a professional assassin.
Francis is a hitman with a cause: he unexpectedly kills the people ordering the hits. Just as Martha begins to realize her new beau wasn't joking when he said he had to step out for a moment to shoot someone, things start heating up for Francis. His services are solicited by a dubious client who's being sought by an equally dubious FBI agent (Tim Roth). As the bodies pile up, Martha needs to decide whether to flee or join in the mayhem.

If you cringe at the scene, early on, in which two new lovebirds hurl knives at each other, each catching the blades in midair because they're just so in tune, feel free to walk out of the theater and not look back: Mr. Right is wrong for you. For viewers who can embrace this fizzy blend of mystic ...
