Let's Kill Ward's Wife

Some laugh out loud moment, yes the ending was a bit weak. Made ever so slightly uncomfortable by my husband's comments of "I have given it some thought, I need a bigger wood chipper" If nobody hears from me again, please make sure he takes good care of my horses.

A shame really as the film started very ok. It then got stuck between worlds of a thriller and dark comedy but in the end didnt do enough of either to put it anywhere, so just ended up in Blah limbo.

Written, directed, and starring.... scott foley. Uh, oh... not usually a good sign. There's technically nothing wrong with the film, it's just SO slowwwwww. Script needed jazzing up. More fun, more jokes, more action..... something. It's a good premise; ward's wife is a shrew. Mean, jealous, controlling. So his golf buddies talk about knocking her off. But would they actually do it?? And if they do, how would they get rid of the body? Long pauses. And a long un-necessary scene where the couples all talk on the phone, as they are settling into bed. We need less talking, more action. And all these people are awful parents.. saying and doing terrible things in front of their young kids! I guess that was part of the humor. The main problem with this is that it isn't sure what it wants to be. I think it needed more of a dramatic conclusion. It just kind of wanders off at the end. You'll know don faison from scrubs. And the wives are the dominczyk sisters. A family thing. It's okay.

Don't get me wrong it's not amazing, but we enjoyed it. It's doesn't take itself to seriously and those watching it shouldn't either. Perfectly watchable movie.

I watched this on Amazon Prime as it was a short film, 84 minutes.

Yet it felt much longer.

The idea is a decent one, but it just never took off and I never got to care about any of the characters.
