You won't be disappointed!

Sadly Over-hyped

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

"Let's kill Ward's Wife" is a dark comedy, dealing with the young father Ward, whose wife is holding him under strict control. Again and again he has to cancel his friends, who jokingly begin to think about ways to let her disappear. When she catches one of the friends in a rather delicate situation, things spiral out of control and she gets killed. What now?The film surely is not a masterpiece, it doesn't tell a big story, neither is it unbelievably clever or anything alike. But it creates an interesting plot, is fun to watch and in all its absurdity entertaining. A bit like in "Arsenic and Old Lace" people just react fully different from what one would expect and the one character who actually shows himself traumatized is a nice mirror of how strange everyone is handling the situation. I can understand that some might be disappointed but personally I really enjoyed this small but nice piece of dark humor.All in all you should really give it a try. Some of the ratings here and from critics appear a bit unfair to me. If you don't expect this to be a big step in cinema but just a decent, small film, I'm quite sure you won't get disappointed.

easily i recommend this movie to anyone who like Dark-Comedy kind of movies that have weird and unusual story telling !! long ago after i watched the movie (( stretch )) I told all the people I know that the actor Patrick Wilson who play good rules in Horror movies such Insidious & The Conjuring can also nail being a comedian actor... i didn't prove wrong cause he was the best one for me in this movie and he played WELL as David !! and for the movie overall I give it 8 cause this kind of movies that i like watch the most, it even has great songs and soundtracks like (( Summer Song )) by Molly Bryant & Spiker... thats mean Scott Foley can write good movies scripts !! Great job everyone!!

Although a member of 8-9 years, I'm writing reviews for the last 6 months and I've written more than 170 reviews. Never before I felt the need to characterize a movie as "crap" and give it 1/10.This movie not only is amateurish and cheap (although wikipedia mentions a ...5,000,000 $ budget, that didn't go to the 6-7 main actors who received ...100$/day for 12 days shooting) but the story is so shocking that I doubt there is a civilized person out there that can't be offended by it.Scott Foley, an actor I only knew from Scandal, directs (so to speak) and writes the most offensive "movie" I saw in recent years.FULL SPOILER ALERT: There are these couples with kids that don't like one of the wives that much (Dagmara Dominczyk) Ward's (Donald Faison) wife. Actually she's not a bad person or anything. They just don't like her. In a daytime party Scott Foley ends up alone in the kitchen with her. For a minor cause he decides to push her head into a cake. Seconds later she slips in one piece of cake that landed in the floor. She is hurt but not serious injured. Scott Foley (an actor/writer/director who I'm beginning to hate) without any particular reason decides to ...struggle her while she's lying on the floor!!!! Not thinking for a second about her kid(s) or her husband who is his friend. Blunt cold murder.But now is where the "movie" goes down the drain. Her husband, his friends and his wife decide that Foley did well and that all together they must get rid of the body. That includes put her in a tub, drain her blood from her veins, cut her to pieces, put the pieces in garbage bags and scattered them to many locations.To top all that her husband Ward (Donald Faison) pisses on her dead drained from blood body while in the tub.The movie is not a comedy, because there isn't a single laugh.It's not a professional movie either because all the "equipment" is a lame camera in a tripod.It's moronic because why scattered the pieces in different locations? To increase the possibility of someone find one? And why smash her head beyond recognition when we leave in the 21st century where DNA, dental records etc. are the first thing that CSI checks to identify a body? And it's shocking to kill an innocent woman and a mother for nothing and have your 6-7 friends to become lunatics who vandalize her body and become accessorries to murder and face the death sentence.Overall: What kind of stupid sociopath wrote this script? Ah yes. Scott Foley..

Greetings again from the darkness. What would it take for you and your buddies to talk about killing someone? Perhaps you already have … you know, in a joking way … maybe while playing golf together. That's what happens to Ronnie (James Carpinello), David (Patrick Wilson), and Tom (Scott Foley). A couple of cracks about wanting to kill Stacy (Dagmara Dominczyk), wife of their buddy Ward (Donald Faison), leads to further discussion and an uncomfortable google search.Since all that is pretty gloomy, you should know that this is a comedy. It's a very dark comedy (given the title) that is filled with a stream of one-liners and some outlandish behavior from a group of people who will never be considered criminal masterminds. On top of that, it comes across as some kind of psycho-sexual, spouse-swapping filmmaking project for first time feature writer/director Scott Foley.Let's see if we can connect the dots: In real life, Foley is married to Marika Dominczyk (she plays David's wife in the movie) who is also the real life sister of Dagmara Dominczyk (Ward's wife) who is the real life wife of Patrick Wilson. James Carpinello's real life wife is Amy Acker (she plays Tom's wife), and we also get the real life daughter of Carpinello/Acker and the real life son of Foley/Marika … plus the younger sister of Marika and Dagmara. That's more crossover than most community theater productions! You may recognize Scott Foley from TV's "Felicity" (or many other projects), and this is his first feature film as writer/director. The cast is obviously having a great time, and in that manner, reminds a bit of MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (Joss Whedon's 2012 version), which was also cast with a group of close friends (including Amy Acker, who also stars here). There are also similarities to VERY BAD THINGS, the 1998 film that brought out the worst traits of its characters. However as stated, this one is filled with offbeat humor and can best be described as black comedy. We even get Nicolette Sheridan as an on-the-prowl aging actress.Some excellent films are referenced here, including: PULP FICTION, FARGO, SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, and TRAINING DAY. Clearly this film is not near the level of any of those, but they are used to keep the dialogue amongst friends presented in a grounded way for such an outrageous premise. This one won't make you think much – and please don't let it convince you that murder is a good idea. It might, however, generate a few laughs, and that's always welcome.
