Why are the phrases 'Mr. Right' or 'Mr. Perfect' correct but 'Mr. Good' isn't?
YOU: 'I'm in love again!'
BFF: 'Is it Mr Perfect this time?'
YOU: 'Not sure yet—let's just say Mr Pretty-damn-good!'
It's not a grammar question, but a usage one.
A better title would have been Mr Right.

Re: Grammarquestion I don't think it's incorrect, but it sounds a bit weak compared to the others.
