Here's a safe prediction: movie critics are going to have fun with the title of If I Were You.

Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
Rotten

"If I Were You'' has more than its share of laughs, but director Joan Carr-Wiggin needed to cut half an hour to make this fly without interest flagging.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten

Harden is a wonderful actress but struggles to find the complexity in so strained a situation.

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

Buried in the bloat of Joan Carr-Wiggin's interminable "If I Were You" are the seeds of what might have been a lean, snappy farce about duplicitous, adulterous games.

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten

Bloody awful.

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
