Some loose laughs, a bold premise and a particularly amusing turn by the always-welcome Patrick Wilson make this indie trifle more watchable than not.

Let's Kill Ward's Wife
Real Friends Do the Dirty Work.
2014 · 1h 21m · UNRATED
Comedy
Directed by
Scott Foley
Overview
Everyone hates Ward’s wife and wants her dead, Ward (Donald Faison) most of all. But when his friends’ murderous fantasies turn into an (accidental) reality, they have to deal with a whole new set of problems — like how to dispose of the body and still make their 3 p.m. tee time. Scott Foley's directorial debut, also starring Foley, Patrick Wilson, Amy Acker, and Nicolette Sheridan, is a blackly comic caper about helping a friend out of a bad relationship by any means necessary.

[A] torturously unfunny exercise, which doesn't even rise to the level of competent misogyny ...

The film is as vacuous and undeserving of regard as any of its characters.
