    Let's Kill Ward's Wife



    Ward (Faison), Tom (Foley), David (Wilson), and Ronnie (Carpinello) have been friends for over 20 years.  They regularly golf together and celebrate milestones together.  David, an out of work actor, is separated from his wife Amanda (M. Dominczyk) and shares custody of their daughter.  Ronnie is a womanizing personal trainer.  Tom and Ward are business partners.  Tom is married to Gina (Acker) and they have a young son.  Ward is married to Stacy (D. Dominczyk), and they have a young son named Ramone.  Stacy takes delight in making Ward suffer and is hated by all of his friends.

    When Ward is not allowed to join their Father's Day golf game, his friends fantasize about killing Stacy.  At Ramone's first birthday, their fantasies accidentally become reality and Stacy lays dead on the kitchen floor.  With Ward's nosy neighbor Bruce (Grunberg), the cop, watching everything, can they get away with it?


    I found this movie through AmazonPrime and the trailer looked funny, so I gave it a try.  This film marked the writing and directorial debut for Scott Foley.  Foley kept the cast in the family, with his wife Marika Dominczyk, her sisters Dagmara Dominczyk and Veronika Domminczyk, and his brother-in-law Patrick Wilson.  Also James Carpinello and Amy Acker are married, and their daughter also appears (along with the Foley's son).  The familiarity within the cast helps sell the chemistry between the group.

    The film wants to be a dark comedy... and sometimes it works.  It is an interesting premise, and Dagmara Dominczyk's Stacy is definitely a character you hate from the beginning, and the script doesn't mind going to some dark places... but it isn't as funny as it seems to think it is.  The script could definitely go farther and still work.  And the ending could be stronger, but overall the script and acting works.  It was an interesting film.
