We spend the
better part of our lives as teenagers and adults trying to find the right one; our soulmate. We know we should not trust the fairy tales and that the slipper
may not always fit. But we hold onto the hope that somewhere out there, is
that one person who can complete our lives. It's not like they are empty, but
hey, who doesn't want a happy ending. A happy family with kids and if possible, a picket fence.
And so we go
around kissing as many frogs as we can (pun intended). We meet them all; the handsome,
the pretty ones, the well endowed ones, the violent ones, the self absorbed
ones - you name them. Sometimes we stay in those same relationships
trying to make things work. We give it our all, but it doesn't always work out.
When it does though, we get a new lease at life, and now that we have learnt
from past mistakes, we make it work. For ourselves and for our kids too.
If it doesn't
work though, we either get a partner who accepts that its okay and moves on. Or
we get a creative one who takes advantage of the failed relationship to get
lots of money. And this is what The Right Kind Of Wrong Movie is about. Leo
Palamino's relationship did not work so well with his ex wife and so she starts
a blog called whyyousuck.net.
The blog and
book concentrate on all things wrong with Leo. Everything from not being able
to practice playing the guitar to shagging her during her aunts burial. When the blog does well, she writes a book about it and at some point a movie
deal of the same is being offered. This makes Leo, famous, but in the
wrong kind of way.
"Love dies,
all of it! which is why you should never give your cat names like snow and
balls, because when she leaves, you get balls." Leo Palamino.
And then he
meets 'her' (Colette) during her wedding. Yes he did! And as his friend says,... "When you find her, you know it". Ironic, right? Finding the right
person for you during their wedding to another. But she knows him from
Jules books and that's not good. Leo does not give up however and continuously
tries to show Colette (Sarah Cunning), why she should be with him instead of
Danny, who is wrong for her. He fails on many levels and even gets threats from
Danny and his rich buddies.
The Right Kind
Of Wrong is basically based on the theory that stalking is good in some way and
could get you a partner. And that no matter what the world thinks of you, deep
inside their is a good person who deserves the best. And this is it. Sometimes,
what we think is right for us, is not. Sometimes, we get into relationships because
we want in; because everyone else but 'me' is getting married; because we want
stability, or because it feels right.
From the start
of the movie, there is no clear reason as to why Leo and Colette should be
together, their's no unquestionable chemistry, nothing that shows that they are
meant to be together; they seem wrong for each other right from the start. But
they end up together. So yeah, maybe that person you keep ignoring because they
are not compatible to you, or they do not have those qualities on your long
list of "potential boyfriend qualities", or you have absolutely nothing in
common, is the one. Maybe you are looking too far outside the gate while
"the one" is right there in your compound. Or maybe you
friendzoned them. Sometimes, your partner is the right kind of wrong.
PS: I am not advocating for stalking.
Watch the movie,
you will love it! It may give you a different perspective on what Love is. If not, then it may just make your day!
