Of course it’s awful and nothing that happens is funny, except for the fact that Bill Pullman has his housekeeper’s Mexican 8 year old children order Ellen DeGeneres at gunpoint to marry him. Though it’s actually the idea that was amusing, not the execution. Here’s a thought though; While a movie, especially a PG-13 one, that turns the blank-from-hell genre into a romantic comedy can’t help but be confused, unpleasant, and kind of creepy, such as Love Stinks, why not turn it into a black comedy satire? Mr. Wrong doesn’t have the balls for this, but wouldn’t it be great if it turned out she had really imagined all of Pullman‘s stalkerish behavior because of a real fear of intimacy? This has probably been done before in a thriller with a Fight Cluby twist at the end, but I’m sure this is possible to do in a dark parody of this tired type of film.
