Its not totally fresh but its funny.Its not the best kind of a love story but its romantic.its everything the title says it is...it is wrong but it feels right.the concept of loving a married woman,it was really weird for me in the beginning but it grew on me.The cast is good.I usually never write about the story in a review so that others can have a completely open mind as to what they will get to watch...just if its good or bad.But if you do decide to give it a try read the description of the basic plot and if you r okay with the silliness of it ,then expect some heartwarming scenes with touches of humour.You wont be disappointed.I agree with some of the other reviewers here those have said that there was much more scope for comedy. because the story itself is funny it could easily have produced laugh out loud moments without trying harder. i just feel that its a different take.so it feels much more real and relatable. i don't know whats real in loving a married woman on her wedding day but hey,i would definitely recommend it. it was good fun for me. and lol now you know that you can actually write a very long review and still manage to talk nothing about the plot.

This romantic comedy does follow the three-act cliché to the letter. There is also the overused story of converting a long-shot into a done-deal, as in most other romantic comedies for that matter. To the movie's credit, the message that what seems wrong to one may be perfectly right for another is interesting. However, it needs to be executed well. Unfortunately, this is where the movie utterly fails. The plot seems improbable, the characters are shallow and their interactions often make little sense. The comedic aspect is exceptionally weak. So, what could possibly compel one to watch this movie? Only if one requires some escapist entertainment. The main characters are likable, including those who are meant to be the "worse halves". The shooting scene is amazing and, as already mentioned, the key message of the movie is not entirely disagreeable. Overall, the movie leaves that warm and fuzzy feeling that one has after consuming a serving of one's favourite sweets.

This story is a good one. The only reason I don't give it a ten is the rough spots here and there. Yes, it is Rom-Com formulaic, but it does not have the smarmy Hollywood quality that taints so many similar movies. I found the the lack of super-slick production rather charming, actually. It feels like a good first effort from a talented director, played out by actors that, while not at all novices, have not yet perfected their craft. It could have benefited from some more stringent cutting; several inessential scenes hit me as sophomoric or hackneyed and made me stop watching . . . but I kept coming back to the DVD for a bit more. A good thing -- not viewing all of this movie would have been a mistake, a disservice to myself.

Leo (Ryan Kwanten) is an aspiring writer. Unfortunately, just as a publisher was interested in signing him, creative differences with the editor doomed the project. Now, he works as a dishwasher for the local Hindi restaurant and hasn't found another publishing house. This upsets his wife, among other things, and she bolts, taking one of their two Persian cats, Snow. Now, Leo is left with Balls the cat plus the knowledge that his ex is getting rich writing a blog about "Why you suck", meaning Leo. Down and out, Leo goes out one sunny morning and spies the woman, Colette (Sarah Cannon), who is just right for him. Most unhappily, she's in a wedding dress and is about to enter the chapel near Leo's home. Dashing back to get his tux on, Leo crashes the wedding and makes pals with the bride's mother (Catherine O'Hara). She reveals that her daughter is making a mistake, having known the groom for only four months. This perks Leo up! After the ceremony, Leo makes a pass at Colette and gets thrown out on his ear. Yet, as he makes "opportunities" for he and Colette to cross paths, will there really be a chance for Leo to steal a bride away? This darling movie, though definitely R rated, is a must see for romcom fans. The cast is quite fine, with Kwanten giving a funny turn in the lead and others following suit. Then, what scenery! The Alberta setting in a town at the foot of the Rockies is just incredibly gorgeous. Likewise, the script is clever and brimming with comedy while the direction keeps the action moving along. No, don't see it if you will be uncomfortable with a fair amount of blue material. All others, go, go, go for it!

This movie wasnt a great idea. A guy gets dumped by his wife who writes a successful blog about what's wrong with him. He falls in love with a woman at her wedding to a perfect guy and then pursues her non stop. How could he love her? Doesn't make sense. It seems silly and psycho. Don't bother with this one.

From my viewpoint there's nothing much wrong with the Right Kind of Wrong. At first I figured it would be another low budget trite teen comedy. But instead I viewed triumph of the spirit. A film about a good guy(Ryan Kwanten) down on himself because of his marriage breakdown. Then its love at first sight with a new bride at her wedding (Sara Canning). He becomes obsessed with winning her away from her husband. In the process he discovers his true self and his new love discovers him. Now to top this off, the film was shot amidst the rustic and majestic splendor of Alberta, Canada. And to be honest, it is a plus factor for tourism there.I'm going. This was a thoroughly enjoyable film.

An unexpected good movie, highly recommend it to those who think love and a relationship should be perfect and magical or to those who need have a laugh at the expense of another's misfortune and shortcomings. The scenery of the movie mirrors Sara Canning's character Colette: beautiful and wild, a blend of tomboy/kind of crazy woman who's just perfect for Leo. It's a pleasant change to see Ryan Kwanten outside his Jason Stackhouse persona, and leaving no trace of it as other actors get stuck or comfortable just having one face for everything they work in. Also, Will Sasso's character -and performance- is funny and sweet. Overall, it's an underrated movie, and let's face it, it's because of the cast, I'm sure you saw "Jason Stackhouse" on the cover or poster and thought: "Oh, hell no!", but really, give it a chance, as I said before, you'll be unexpectedly surprised.

I've seen literally hundreds of romantic comedies and this one is my all-time favorite. The main reason is that our hero sets out on an outrageous and ballsy goal, and the movie carefully and cleverly shows how he might succeed. Leo goes gaga when he first casts eyes on Collette. The fact that this happens at her wedding doesn't faze him. Nor does her obvious passion for her new husband Danny--a tall, handsome, rich lawyer who skied in the Olympics and founded a children's charity. Nor does Leo's own place in the world: a failed writer working as a dishwasher, and the butt of countless jokes from a widely successful blog, Why You Suck, written by his ex-wife. "Granted, there are obstacles," Leo admits. But he's not afraid to try to win Collette's heart even if Danny is looking on. Fortunately Leo has a high tolerance for physical pain. Leo's big challenge sets up the movie's challenge: Give Leo a credible chance in spite of the obstacles. So the remaining 80 minutes are packed with intelligent twists and turns that might help him see daylight. Practically every secondary character has a hand in pushing Leo either forwards or backwards on his rocky path. Another reason the movie works is that Leo is a likable guy. He's witty, honest, uber-idealistic and surprisingly low-key for the size of the torch he's carrying. He elevates his humble job to an art form, even using a dishwashing machine for a quantum physics demonstration. The film features a clever script and beautiful scenes of the Canadian Rockies. Will Sasso and Catherine O'Hara help provide light-hearted depth, and Rachel Portman predictably nails the score. Even the closing song was a perfect fit. I'm sorry the movie's IMDb rating is much lower than I expected. Ironically, the point of the movie is that something that's wrong for others could be right for me.

This film tells the life of a failed writer whose ex-girlfriend wrote a book about him being a completely undesirable lover. He meets a charming woman on her wedding day, and they develop a unlikely relationship against the circumstances. "The Right Kind of Wrong" boasts a satisfying story, in which the protagonist Leo undergoes a transformation for the sake of the woman of his dreams. The way he endures ridicule from the readers of the ex-girlfriend's book is sad but not overly sad, which is in keeping with the tone of the film. I like the way Leo and Colette develop their relationship, and how Colette realises the Olympic skier is not really for her. "The Right Kind of Wrong" eloquently states that it takes courage to leave the easy way into the comfort zone, and really do something you want to do. I was very empathic with the characters, as they are so real and not sugar coated. I really enjoyed watching it.
