Dolph wakes up early in the morning in his suburban home to find that his dog is missing. Later on, in denial after losing his job, he recurrently returns to his place of employment and pretends to work while experiencing surrealistic changes and events in his life. In hopes of returning his life back to normal, he begins a search for his lost dog.
It holds a 65% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 43 reviews, with an average rating of 6.1/10. The critical consensus states that "Wrong is strange and meandering, but its absurdist vignettes reveal a unique, wry wit."[3]
Simon Abrams of Slant Magazine did not feel that the film worked:
The quasi-nihilistic, absurdist and totally surrealistic ideology behind Wrong, writer/director/editor/musician Quentin Dupieux's follow-up to Rubber, is more exciting in theory than it is in practice... It's only tempting whenever Wrong isn't actively devolving into an interminable laundry list of strange things that mostly prove how jaded Dupieux is.[4]
However, Chase Whale of Twitch Film enjoyed the film:
Writer/director/composer/editor/cinematographer/auteur/weirdo Quentin Dupieux is a guy who pulls the mat right out from under the Hollywood norm and takes bold and colorful chances.... What makes Dupieux's movies so infectious is that in the wildly weird universe he creates, there is a brilliant undertone throughout all of the oddities happening.... Wrong will leave you strangely addicted to Dupieux's world.[5]
The soundtrack to Wrong was produced by Quentin Dupieux under his stage name Mr. Oizo and French electro-rock music producer David Sztanke under the name "Tahiti Boy". Track 7 and 12 were produced by Sztanke's group "Tahiti Boy & The Palmtree Family".
