William (Rocky Marshall) is a former rugby star turned art dealer who is involved with Lawrence (Leon Ockenden), an actor appearing in a popular soap opera, but William's daughter (Maddie Planer) doesn't care for Lawrence and keep looking for ways to derail their romance. Alex (Luke de Woolfson), an aspiring actor who makes his living working with a catering company, is very much in love with Harry (James Lance), who produces reality television projects, but busy Harry doesn't have much time for him. Tom (David Morris) is a successful artist who is living with Lars (Benjamin Hart), a model and former hustler, but while Tom is smitten with Lars, Lars doesn't seem very committed to the notion of fidelity. And Louise (Georgia Zaris) is a close friend of Alex, William and Tom, but she begins to suspect her new boyfriend Paul (Jeremy Edwards) is more than just friendly with her gay pals. Mr. Right was the first feature film from the brother and sister writing/directing team of Jacqui Morris and David Morris. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Tom Huddlestone, Time Out
Most disastrous is the script, which carries about as much dramatic weight as an episode of 'Heartbeat'.
-
Edward Porter, Sunday Times (UK)
A patchy film.
-
Jason Solomons, Observer [UK]
It isn't brave enough to show anyone actually being gay and having sex, but gathers its preening cast around a dinner table to bitch at one another.
-
Nicholas Barber, Independent on Sunday
It means well, but it's one of those shoddy, very-low-budget British films that don't merit even a tiny release.
-
Robert Hanks, Independent
Despite efforts towards the end to import a little serious sentiment, much of the time it feels as though Mr Right is setting out deliberately to confirm every nasty stereotype about gay men.
