If I Were You is a 2012 Canadian-British[1] comedy-drama from Joan Carr-Wiggin starring Marcia Gay Harden, Leonor Watling and Aidan Quinn.

[2][3][4] Madelyn, a marketing professional, sees her husband (Paul) canoodling with his mistress (Lucy) in a restaurant and in her credulity decides to call him just to make sure it is him she has seen.

Madelyn's distraught call grips Paul in his guilt and, consequently, he decides to leave Lucy on the spot.

The script and scenes of the main story are theatrically articulated as the movie pays homage to the theater and the play that has been embedded in it.

[8] David Noh of Film Journal International review wrote, "An anti-rom-com in the best sense, Joan Carr-Wiggin's film joyously revives the screwball tradition with real wit, as well as making one fabulously tart female buddy movie.
