Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

maggieherndon2015 With the ratings this film has I didn't expect much, but instead found a hilarious rom com. Malkovich and Magnuson have great chemistry, and are able to carry this throughout the movie. Malkovich also does a nice job of playing the "android" without portraying a stereotypical robot. Minor characters such as the mother Estelle Stone (Polly Bergen), eccentric Sandy (Laurie Metcalf), and liberal Ivy Stone (Susan Berman) are also quite lovable. I stumbled upon Making Mr. Right On Demand and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy. The ridiculous 80s wardrobes, as worn most notably by Magnuson and Bergen, only add to this understated classic. With memorable characters and lines, a funny plot, and much more to offer I'm surprised this film isn't as popular as it should be.

golem3 As a tremendous fan of movies, I have yet to see many directed by women. Rarely are they publicized, and rarely are they seen, for many reasons. This movie, Making Mr. Right, is one of the great films of the late twentieth century.It is a film fraught with ironies and humor, and told from the perspective of a busy working woman, who is in the midst of making her life and keeping up relationships. Her life is changed when she is forced to train an android to learn some people skills.The movie brings up all kinds of social questions – it feels largely told from a anthropologist's view – a perspective that is completely devoid of the subject at work. This is certainly very interesting, and becomes very engaging when it is forced to look at the way people interact and why.There are the obvious questions – like can machines think? These conspicuous ones are less interesting to the audience since they are an old hat, something already presented to us by science fiction writers of the 60s and 70s.The cinematography or other technical elements are nothing to rave about. You don't watch it for the special effects, obviously. John Malkovich puts on a startling real act of a machine, as well as the maddened scientist who cannot interact with the real world.RATING: 8/10 "One day, when people have figured that out (the problems of love), then they will be more than just machines"

Havan_IronOak This film is about what happens when a chemical company hires a PR woman to program their Android when they are worried about losing funding for a deep space program. Right. Ok, as far as I was concerned with a plot like that it was doomed from the start. But I was surprised. It is a measure of the John Malkovich's ability that when he was on the screen, even this movie lost some of its inane quality and actually had a few good moments. This is far from being a good movie but Malkovich does make it almost watchable. Also, there is also enough late 80's technology present in this film that its interesting from a pop history perspective. Seeing folks at the wedding lugging around a camcorder that's larger than my current VCR brought back memories. Also our heroine lugs an old-fashioned Filo-Fax everywhere. Remember those big wheels that held paper cards with contact data?

thedarktower the movie was far ahead of its time. i just got to watch this film recently in wowow -- a japanese cable channel available here in the philippines -- and as i was watching the film, i thought that the movie was made in 1999 or later. i was very surprised to find in the credits that the film had a copyright year of 1987. amazing!i think that most of the themes of the movie: love, sex, finding the right person, being a loner, were tackled in a timeless manner, such that they are still applicable now as they were 14 years ago.all in all, a great movie. definitely, a must see!
