Let's Kill Ward's Wife is a 2014 American black comedy film written and directed by Scott Foley in his directorial debut.

It has received generally mixed reviews,[3] with criticism aimed at its humor[1] and slow pace.

Tom gets irritated and shoves Stacy's face into the cake and as she protests she slips on icing and falls, knocking herself out.

The friends and their wives work on bleeding out and dismembering Stacy and burying her body parts in different places while avoiding their nosy neighbor.

After Ward reports his wife missing, all of the friends move on with their lives without Stacy's presence.

As a result, the camera remains static throughout the film, causing Foley and cinematographer Eduardo Barraza to include enough movement in the shots to keep viewers from "getting bored".

[14] Justin Chang of Variety gave the film a negative review, opining that it is "torturously unfunny" and criticized Foley's writing and direction, stating that "Foley hasn't a clue how to make these bougie ciphers interesting, much less how to extract anything funny, tense, shocking, relatable or observant from his banal scenario.

"[1] Chris Packham of The Village Voice agreed, criticizing the film for being "as vacuous and undeserving of regard as any of its characters".

[3] Chuck Bowen of Slant Magazine praised Foley's direction, but stated that "[a]ny pretense of satire collapses by the film's midpoint, however, leaving only the contempt".
