Mr. Right

Sometimes you just need a feel good, dark comedy movie. As you may know, I am a big fan of Sam Rockwell. I think he is a brilliant actor and I was so pleased he won an Oscar last year. He also has some serious dance moves! Sam can totally cut a rug!

Mr. Right is a film where Sam Rockwell plays a hitman named Francis who goes around killing people who hire him to kill other people. It's confusing so let's try to explain it. Sarah wants to kill Bob. Sarah hires Francis to kill Bob. Instead Francis kills Sarah because wanting Bob dead is wrong. Francis has this weird reverse hitman motto. He's also hilarious! Instead of just shooting people he dance fights them. It's sounds odd but it totally works because Sam is amazing.

Anna Kendrick plays Martha. She is going through a very ugly break up and she meets Francis at the supermarket. They hang out all day and are completely adorable. Francis tells Martha he is a hitman and she just thinks he's joking and bring funny. Nope, he's telling you the truth!

There is this whole other story about a mafia family trying to fight Francis. To be honest, that story is a bit boring when you have sparks flying with Martha and Francis. There was a great secondary character named Hopper played by Tim Roth. He is Francis' mentor when they were in the CIA. Now Hopper is also trying to track Francis down. I had no idea Tim Roth was so funny. He has this dry wit that flows so well in the movie. Tim dry jokes counter very well with Sam larger than life humor.

If you are looking for something fun to watch on a Sunday evening, take a look at Mr. Right. Great script, brilliant cast and a dark comedy. You'll love it!
