Veronica Pena (690 KP) rated The Wrong Missy (2020) in Movies

I thought this movie was hilarious. I love David Spade and I think Lauren Lapkus does not get enough credit for the amazing work she does. She's definitely one of my favorite actresses and I couldn't think of a better person for this role. She was definitely the standout, without a doubt.
I think this film is a fun watch for a movie night with friends or just when you want something mindless that will make you laugh. I think this is one of the better movies that Netflix has done recently and I definitely recommend it.

Horrible script (4 more)
Generic plot
They try to make you sympathize with Missy
Missy does some...illegal things to David Spade that would get her sent to prison
It's almost like "Just Go With It" but worse if that's even possible
The Wrong Everything
Wow this was bad. Probably the worst Happy Madison movie I've seen and that's saying a lot. The plot itself is pretty mediocre and harmless. Most of the frustration comes from Missy's character. This character single handedly ruined the movie. I don't blame Lauren Lapkus and think she did a decent job acting wise. Missy was written to be such an unlikeable character though. I understand that's what was intended but they take it way too far. This might be free on Netflix but it's not worth the time.

Take the Movie, Leave the Villain
It’s been some time since the catastrophe at the original Jurassic Park. Despite all of that, the powers that be have decided to monetize the dinosaurs and move forward with a plan to open the amusement park Jurassic World. Spoiler Alert: Chaos ensues. I was so excited when I learned the Jurassic Park franchise was being revitalized. I think that excitement may have turned into a bit of bias my first go round with Jurassic World as the second trip was a little more bumpy.
Acting: 10
A lot of times I will watch a movie and say, “This movie wouldn’t have been the same without X”. Chris Pratt was hands-down that actor. He plays Owen Grady, raptor trainer and overall badass. He offers some hilarity to a situation so crazy you kind of have to laugh at it. Speaking of comedic performances, Jake Johnson and Lauren Lapkus had me all the way cracking up. Their chemistry throughout was perfect.
Beginning: 3
This is the first point where this movie failed me a bit. This series has been known for its strong beginnings up to this point. It was almost as if the scriptwriters expected us to be entertained off of the series name alone. Wish there had been a little more “try” here.
Characters: 8
While I appreciated Owen’s character, there were a couple that just didn’t do it for me. Vic Hoskins (Vincent D’Onofrio) is the villain of the film. You know the type, someone that’s basically just there to be a roadblock. He was over-the-top aggressive and made the movie a bit of a nuisance at times.
Cinematography/Visuals: 10
Always a shining spot in this franchise. The park is captured magically from its rollercoasters to its extravagant hotel, the kind of place you would want to visit. I particularly love when they feed a shark on a stick to a titanic water dino who splashes just about everyone in the audience when he returns to the water. The final fight between the T-Rex and the “new breed” is fun to watch unfold.
Conflict: 8
Entertainment Value: 9
Memorability: 6
Pace: 7
The pace is somewhat slower than what I’m accustomed to with these movies. There is a lot of talking and walking around and you can’t help but wonder when the action is going to kick in again. Even when shit finally does hit the fan, there were a few moments of exposition I wish they would have done without.
Plot: 5
I can’t, for the life of me, begin to understand just why the hell anyone would think creating a park was a good idea. Then you had the military wanting to weaponize dinosaurs and some creature they made in a lab? Pick a lane, please! It’s a wonder I still managed to have a good time despite the craziness of the story.
Resolution: 8
Overall: 74
Jurassic World isn’t bad by any means. I do feel that it had great potential to do more and ultimately mean more. It’s merely satisfied with being a summer blockbuster which is fine. Just don’t expect it to go down as an all-time great.
