Amy Grant "The Things We Do for Love"

Ellen DeGeneres still pokes fun at her first movie...the dud called Mr. Wrong. The 1996 flick starred Ellen alongside Bill Pullman in a dark comedy about a man (Pullman) who fooled everyone into think he's Mr. Right when, in reality, he's an awful human being who basically stalks Ellen's character after she breaks up with him. With a budget of $19 million, the film only grossed about $13 million in 1996 leading to the headline "Little Right About Mr. Wrong" from the SF Gate. The movie's soundtrack did spawn Amy Grant's remake of the classic 10cc tune "The Things We Do for Love" which Adult Contemporary radio stations gladly spun in 1996.
