July 20, 2014Directed by the same guy who brought us such classics as 'Christmas Vacation' and 'Benny & Joon' (Jeremiah Chechik), 'The Right Kind of Wrong' should have been a good movie. I felt safe in that assumption and I took for granted that Chechik hadn't directed a feature film since 1998's 'The Avengers' which could hardly be called a classic. I realized I had made a mistake pretty quickly, but like a train wreck I couldn't look away. This movie seemed like it took place in the fantasy of some self-absorbed, delusional brain, but not in the usual fun way. Ryan Kwanten stars as a seemingly regular guy whose wife leaves him and makes herself a star when she writes a book about how much of a loser Kwanten is. Instead of suing her or getting depressed, he tries to break up the wedding of another woman he has never met because he thinks she is the girl of his dreams, and when she rejects him he spends the rest of his time trying to get with her. Those things seem fairly common for a romantic comedy, but there were so many other stupid things that happened along the way that made this movie stand out as a special kind of awful. I don't really recommend it.
