Review Sentiment
The experimental drugs let Molly and Frankie hear their cats voiced by Seth Rogen and Kumail Nanjiani
The narrative stalls as Molly and Frankie navigate unfocused thriller detours
Sentiment drops sharply from the Kate McKinnon Dr. Olsen peak at 7.5 down to the middle act sag at 4.5 as the government conspiracy plot displaces the hang-out comedy that reviewers loved.
The Wrong Girls opens with genuine charm and earns goodwill through the chemistry of its leads and inspired comic touches like the talking cats and Kate McKinnon's Dr. Olsen, pushing sentiment into the high 7s in its first half. The film then stumbles badly in its middle act as the government conspiracy thriller mechanics crowd out the freewheeling hang-out energy, with reviewers broadly identifying this stretch as unfocused, slow, and unfunny. The final act partially recovers by leaning back into the friendship dynamic and the cat gag, landing the film at a modest but uneven overall reception that skews toward cult-comedy potential over mainstream success.
