Netflix Guilty Pleasure: The Wrong Missy
It's vulgar, silly, unbelievable, but I must admit that the new Netlix movie "The Wrong Missy" is pretty damn funny. It's about a guy that meets a girl on a blind date that is the epitome of a date from hell. He manages to escape and figures that's the end of that. A few weeks later, he meets another woman that is certainly "interesting" and hopes to spend more time with her at a retreat that his employer is setting up in Hawaii. Unfortunately, the guy texts his invitation to the wrong "Missy", resulting in some pretty funny/cringe-worthy situations.

Totally crude, but David Spade's straight-man to the crazy antics of Lauren Lapkus (Missy) was a pretty enjoyable diversion.

Loved that! David Spade was as good as he has ever been and more.

I got some good laughs. She is way over the top and did a good job.

It's so much funnier because I swear I've been in his shoes in real life. There are some crazy people out there.

My wife and I watched it this evening. We both got a few good laughs out of it Smile

Didn’t make it halfway through it. Not my cup of tea I guess.

We watched it last night. I found it entertaining, but not overly fantastic. Very similar to "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"

I’m not a prude but I didn’t find it funny to try to shock me with how disgusting you can be. That movie could have decent but every time she talked she went more and more disgusting. Which I didn’t find funny. David Spade was great. All the Adam Sandler B characters were done right. The main actress though was like an over engineered Melissa MacArthy from that wedding movie. Way overdone.

I saw the reviews here and decided to watch it last night. I enjoyed it.

Missy was over done, I think...

...but not too bad overall. Spade got OLD...

I guess I'm simply unappreciative.

Tried watching it but couldn't get past the opening blind date at the bar scene. What a bat-shit crazy over-the-top wacko obnoxious excuse for a woman that character is/was.

We watched it last night. Missy was way over done, WAY over done.

I did laugh, but i would give it a 4 out of ten. I am not a david spade fan, though he was the redeeming actor in the movie.

That Missy was like finger nails on a blackboard to me. I tried based on the positive comments here, but just couldn't get past 15 minutes.

Wife and I watched it over the weekend and almost turned it off but glad we stuck with it...yes, Missy was a little over the top but sometimes it is just fun to laugh at dumb shit.

On another note, Spade is looking a tad beat up these days

Need to stick it out a bit longer. She gets more tolerable as the movie progresses. I, too, was wondering if we'd make it past about a half hour.

I turned it off right about that time too.

Tried to sleep, couldn’t, turned it back on for lack of any other option and it ended up being an okay movie. Push through a little more.

It could have been better. They had a lot of really funny ideas that they didn’t take full advantage of. I rarely say this about a comedy movie but it could here been longer to let them setup the scenes better. But it was entertaining for sure.

She's snoring with it on. I thought it alleviates snoring.
