Making Mr. Right
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Susan Seidelman
1987 / 98min / 35mm
Seidelman followed the breakout performance of Desperately Seeking Susan with this quick-witted, snappy, sui generis sci-fi romcom about a stand-offish scientist (John Malkovich) who creates an android doppelgänger, Ulysses (Malkovich, again), for the purpose of deep space exploration, only to discover with dismay that Ulysses is more interested in exploring humans—including Ann Magnuson, Laurie Metcalf, and Glenne Headly—of the opposite sex. “With one eye on contemporary life, and another on life the way she’d like to see it, Susan Seidelman is in the mode of a classic satirist.”—Chicago Reader
