Comedy When Tim Morris meets his dream girl and their relationship quickly escalates through texts, he throws caution to the wind and invites her to his company’s corporate retreat on an island resort in Hawaii… However, when a past blind date from hell shows up at the airport for the weekend getaway instead, he learns too late that he’s been texting “The Wrong Missy.”

	Media	Author	Review
		Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"A tedious romantic cringe-comedy"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Too much of the humor in 'The Wrong Missy' feels like the first draft of a freshman comedy writing class (...) but then there’s Lauren Lapkus, throwing herself into every scene with zero fear and an engaging sense of comedic insanity (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		David Hughes Empire	"[It] is a little hit-and-miss, but it’s funny and inventive, and Lapkus is good enough to make the word 'zany' tolerable again (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"It’s messy and gross, mean and directionless, and only briefly interested in being at all sweet. Loving might not be wrong, but under these conditions, it’s certainly not right."
		Amy Nicholson The New York Times	"[Lapkus's] full-throttle verve transcends the script like a water skier leaping over a Great White"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Even with locked-down consumers scraping the bottom of the Netflix content trough, this new addition to the lineup is pretty dreary."
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A harmless dumb-meets-smart-mouth comedy that doesn’t necessarily feed your appetite for more Netflix throwaways. But it does make you want to see Lauren Lapkus’s next act."
		Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie	"'The Wrong Missy' may be one of Netflix's worst comedies yet (...) There are just so many unfunny, utterly repulsive scenes and moments..."
		John Serba Decider	"Skip it. Or don’t, I don’t care. Such is the apathy 'The Wrong Missy' inspires."
