This was most unrealistic, though for a film it is fine if you got entertained. Kind of quirky, but the locations were awesome. Feels like it is happening somewhere in the Swiss Alps. That is what I loved the most in this film, all the background views were just like that I see them in the wallpapers. And not to forget the actors, comes second who were really into their characters. But the story was silly, and instantly forgettable film.So it is about a failed writer who now washes dishes for a living. His wife divorced him criticising his lack of everything in the life. Her success through his failure puts him further backwards. But one day when he saw a bride, he suddenly falls in love with her. Despite knowing she just got married, he never stops pursuing her. So he has to face various obstacles for impossible dream and the end is to reveal where he's going to end.It was based on the book called 'Sex and Senset', though changing title for the screen adaptation seems appealing enough. This Canadian film is okay for timepass. This is not really a great romantic tale, but some people might find it better. For me it was just fine, like a mixed feeling. But I won't suggest it to others as it is not that kind of awesome product. So if you decide to watch it, I hope you enjoy it.5/10

nice warm movie with lots of twist and turns. I was little disappointed at how it ended but film was genuine. Actors did good job and idea which writer wanted to portray , they managed to do it. you actually start feeling bad for the guy who just wants to provide for the girl.movies like this takes courage . the girls husband and his friends could have done better acting but nevertheless the girl and guy hold the movie together. her job was little unbelievable and i thought a stereotype is being generated here about modern independent woman are all about nature and stuff . could this movie be better ? definitely by better writing . it was like writers found a brilliant first plot but did not work hard in small part of the story.

I just want to start off by saying I accept there is some major plot holes like why didn't she get a restraining order? And this isn't cute this is definitely stalking... I also feel a lot of sub plots were abandoned and a great deal is left unexplained or "cut to fit" leaving the bare minimum behind. However if you're happy to simply over look the gross interpretations of reality and roll with it, you'll find yourself enjoying a really good film. The main character is beautifully portrayed, the story evolves at the perfect pace, and you're left with a smile on your face at the end. It's funny, the more I reflect on the movie the more short falls I can see, that previously I had blissfully ignored so I could better enjoy the film. I hope this happens/ed to you too.

This is really why Canadian film gets such a bad rap. The trailer for The Right Kind of Wrong actually looked fun. It looked quirky and cute and funny and I was reasonably looking forward to this. My expectations weren't huge by any means but there were some fatal flaws to this "romantic comedy." They mixed together the sort of crude humour that makes American comedies so successful with trying to be uniquely Canadian...something Canadian film makers can't ever seem to LET GO. The plot stumbles around and propels extremely vapid and annoying characters around each other. The script is honestly excruciating and as a writer I couldn't help but think how much editing could have been done to make this better. Now that I complained about it I will add that I did laugh a few times (both from gross-out shock and some decent physical gags and general silliness), there were some moments that at least tried very hard to be sweet but unfortunately for this film the bad outweighs the good at least two to one. After watching the VASTLY superior Canadian comedy "My Awkward Sexual Adventure" (one of the first Canadian comedians to truly impress me and was as good as any American counterpart) this just paled in comparison.Ryan Kwanten is our lead hero. He's awkward and foolish and sort of a bum in life and managed to endear himself to his lady love. Kwanten tries hard and has some charisma on screen but just barely. I think the script was bad enough that he didn't have a lot to work with. He isn't the worst part of the cast by any means. Sarah Canning is the object of his affections...god knows why. I'm sorry to say that she is awful in this role. She is supposed to be this guy's dream come true but she is completely vapid and without any redeemable qualities at all. The script does nothing to develop her as a "dream" girl and their chemistry is literally non-existent. I couldn't have cared less whether they ended up together or not. Kristen Hager was actually better (and still not good) as Kwanten's disgruntled ex. She looks a little like Jennifer Lawrence and that's about as good as she gets. Her role is very small but I thought her chemistry with Kwanten was at least marginally better than Canning's is. Canadian comedy legend Catherine O'Hara is completely wasted in the film as Canning's mother. She has very few scenes and not even any good lines to speak of which is unfortunate. Literally the best character I thought in the movie was played by Will Sasso as the best friend. Its such an incredibly small role and he doesn't get any chance to try and redeem the movie but he has a few really funny scenes. Maya Sammy is also hilarious in a "kids say the darndest things" sort of way with shock value rants about drugs and sexual innuendos. Still she has some hilarious lines and is adorable too.I am absolutely floored that the director of this film is the one and only Jeremiah Chechik. Who is that you may ask? His first directorial film was the classic, and downright hilarious National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. He has also done a ton of really great TV as well. I can only hazard to guess that he misread this mess of a script or owed someone a favour because honestly he is better than this. The film simultaneously tries too hard and not hard enough all at once by trying to be an American rom-com and failing but at the same time not trying to make sense of a very poor script. While this just barely gets a passing grade, it is watchable but really unless you're forced to...don't. Its something worth forgetting about in a sea of far better entries in the genre. 5/10
