Tim thinks he's invited the woman of his dreams on a work retreat to Hawaii, realizing too late he mistakenly texted someone from a nightmare blind date.
Not every movie is supossed to be Amarcord, casablanca or even young frankenstein.
It's not a sin to enjoy a simple movie, to stop the stress fron reality, to take a detour from the horrible things going on in today's world.
You're wathching a Happy Madison production, with Sandler's friends, a simple plot and yes, a 50 something year old men dating a 35 year old woman.
But i really don't understand the hate; when i want emotion i see Cinema Paradiso. When i want to be really scared , i see the exorcist....
Today, i really wanted to scape, be relaxed, and maybe have one or two laughs.
I disagree with those who said: ''she's so cringe, he's so flat, the script is non existant'' (the latter being truth). Missy as a role is supossed to be unnerving, and the moments of surprising normality from her.....well i can honestly say that i've met people like that, annoying and good persons almost at the same time.
It's not a great movie, but i can honestly say, i'had some fun. And the time flew really quick,
Judge some movies for what it is, not from what is suppossed to be.

So this was never meant to win an Oscar, let's be honest with ourselves. Nobody with a brain would press Play thinking this was going to blow their minds with best cinematography or acting. However it did one thing well & it did it VERY well, it made me LOL throughout the movie. The stupidest & simplest things can be worth every minute. Well done on this one, credit due there!

I'm generally skeptical these dates of anything that Adam Sandler's name is attached to these days. While the movie itself has its shortcomings, not the least of which is Spade as the romantic lead it has a shining light: Lauren Lapkus, whose comedic performance is the superb.
It puts her alongside the best comedic actors of the moment. She completely commits to everything which means that many of the moments that would be rendered unfunny in less capable hands hit the mark or exceed it.
I will be going out of my way to watch her in the future.

The names David Spade and Rob Schneider were enough to get me interested in the film. While it's not groundbreaking, this movie introduced elements that made me cringe and laugh at the same time on several occasions. Netflix has certainly delivered on this one, not a dull moment from the beginning to the end.

It seems like there are so many drama's on TV and very few comedies. This had me laughing out loud through most of the movie. It's worth 90 minutes of your time.

She keeps sexually assaulting him and straight up r*ping him like twice in the movie and it's funny cause she's a quirky woman? No wonder why no one take men seriously when assault happen cause it's treated like a funny quirky thing in media.
Gender swap it and make Spade do the same in the plane and see if it sticks.

I was expecting this to be one of the worsts movies so far this year but it was surprisingly funny. Yes some of the jokes were kinda outdated and not that good but a lot of them did make me laugh. Definitely one of the best David Spade movies I have seen in a long time so good job to him. Script was pretty predictable but overall an alright movie.

The Wrong Missy (3 out of 5 stars).
The Wrong Missy is a fair comedy film that is filled with stupid humor which is what you can expect from a Happy Madison production. A comedy movie that does have that typical predictable story and cliches but it is kind of entertaining.
The plot follows Tim (David Spade) who had a bad blind date when he met Melissa (Lauren Lapkus) with her loud, obnoxious, and weird personality. Months later, he meets another woman Melissa (Molly Sims) which her personality is like his dream woman. They swapped numbers and went there own ways in the airport. When his company is throwing a retreat in Hawaii. He decides to invite Melissa. Which he gets a surprise in the airport when Melissa from the blind date shows up. Which she tries to take charge of every situation she is in at his work party.
It is a predictable plot which you can tell who is going to get with who before it happens. Tim has an enemy at work which she hates him and is always trying to be better than him in front of there boss. She will be a conflict to Tim's secret about Missy and his dream girl Melissa. Tim and Missy are the opposites. He is quiet and passive. She is loud and clumsy.
Missy played by Lauren Lapkus is entertaining. She may act stupid and have that loud personality. Sometimes her performance may be overboard trying to get laughs. Which may be annoying than funny. She did decent with the character. David Spade, Molly Sims, Nick Swardson, and even Rob Schneider did decent with the performances. May not be great acting. But they are all entertaining with having fun with their characters.
If you seen previous Happy Madison production movies that Adam Sandler produced and enjoyed it. Than you will enjoy this as well. Simple predictable plot. With actors having fun with their characters. And plenty of dumb humor.

David Spade in his trademark role-straight man to a crazed over the top funnyman (funnywoman)-Lauren Lapkus shines as the force of nature and overall it was a lot of laughs. I hope they make a sequel.

Better than i espected!Beside she is yelling all the time,the movie has a lot of dirty and really funny dialogs and situations from the beginning 'till the end!Sandler's pack rules!

I guess you have to be a Happy Madison and company fan to truly enjoy and appreciate this like I did. I grew up watching these guys and David Spade always delivers. As always, the usually suspects showed up to make it another comedic classic under the HM umbrella. Great cameo at the end too if you're from this generation of comedy gold.
