Everything's the Wrong Way

About This Movie

Everything's the Wrong Way is an interesting little gem from 1982 that captures the chaos of young love and the absurdity of familial expectations. The film has this lighthearted tone, with moments that oscillate between heartfelt and hilariously awkward. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it adds to the charm—like life just sort of meandering along. The performances are sincere, if not a touch over-the-top, which seems fitting considering the romantic comedy genre. It’s not groundbreaking by any means, but I find its exploration of independence and rebellion against parental authority kinda relatable. And those practical effects in some of the apartment-hunting scenes? They add a quirky touch that makes it distinct in its own right.
