If I Were You (2013)

Wife spots her husband canoodling with someone else and winds up making a pact with the mistress (who's oblivious as to the wife's identity) in which they agree to make decisions for each other. The set up is complicated, but the movie certainly isn’t. For a story about loss and friendship, there was very little “realness” to be had. It almost felt like it was trying to be both a wacky French farce and an insightful drama & I’m here to tell you that’s an impossible combo to pull off.

I really wanted to like it, but it's a complete misfire.
