blumdeluxe "Let's kill Ward's Wife" is a dark comedy, dealing with the young father Ward, whose wife is holding him under strict control. Again and again he has to cancel his friends, who jokingly begin to think about ways to let her disappear. When she catches one of the friends in a rather delicate situation, things spiral out of control and she gets killed. What now?The film surely is not a masterpiece, it doesn't tell a big story, neither is it unbelievably clever or anything alike. But it creates an interesting plot, is fun to watch and in all its absurdity entertaining. A bit like in "Arsenic and Old Lace" people just react fully different from what one would expect and the one character who actually shows himself traumatized is a nice mirror of how strange everyone is handling the situation. I can understand that some might be disappointed but personally I really enjoyed this small but nice piece of dark humor.All in all you should really give it a try. Some of the ratings here and from critics appear a bit unfair to me. If you don't expect this to be a big step in cinema but just a decent, small film, I'm quite sure you won't get disappointed.

szweda-18555 More morons with no signs of a brain between them let alone means of income. Worse, it is so unbelievable even though I figured earlier on we were not to take things seriously. I thought it was a reasonable idea but ended up neither fish nor fowl. Or should that be "foul"? Some moments in this movie are what the characters in it might say are "gross". Worse, it just stumbles to an end... nothing is resolved. Did they run out of budget? Who really cares. I suggest watching something else unless this is all there is.

drhemp The only funny scene in this otherwise unbelievably boring film was the scene where everyone walks in and finds the dead man's wife, and even that joke didn't last too long, by which point the film gets ridiculous.I know the script was appalling, but still they somehow managed to find actors who could act worse than the infant that wrote it. Like we're supposed to believe the guy doesn't just accidentally kill a woman by pushing her head in a cake but he also strangles her just to make sure she is dead after she slips on the icing on the floor. Not including the murderer, there were like five or six, can't remember the film was too stupid to make an impression, we are lead to believe that not one of them would freak out or suggest calling the police, except at the very end, which led to nothing. They dismember the dear departed's body and put them in plastic bags they dispose of by various means. The husband of the murdered woman, who incidentally was quite satisfied with the excuse that the guy still strangled her just to make sure she was dead after she slipped on the cake. The cop finds the bags with the dismembered bodies, but just gave them a lecture with unfunny one-liners.This film is crap, do not watch, it just gets worse and worse. It's a shame, because it is sometimes said Americans do not have a sense of humour or know what irony is. This is not true, some of the funniest films and comedians ever to grace this world have come from the USA, which begs one to wonder how you could have made such an unfunny and unbelievable film.

Gino Cox As an evidently low-budget writer/producer/director independent film, "Let's Kill Ward's Wife" is not a bad effort. It's watchable, although a little slow and heavy on exposition. The production values are adequate with reasonably clear audio and relatively few annoying jiggly-cam shots, although I found the color a bit washed-out. The cast has an easy camaraderie and there are some genuinely funny moments.However, it feels more like a made-for-television movie than a theatrical release. It's too conservative and middle-of-the-road for the material. It's not funny enough to be a comedy, nor black enough to be a black comedy, nor suspenseful or mysterious enough. The actions of some characters have the effect of re-energizing their sex lives, but the scenes are too tame to seem credible. Scenes that should be shocking and gruesome seem like something out of a parody or a movie from the sixties. The inciting moment happens far too late. All of the characters are quickly involved in an unlikely plot with few qualms and little hesitation. The conflict that motivates the characters seems weak, particularly regarding the females in the group. Everybody seems motivated by some sort of herd mentality and loyalty to their friends. There isn't enough sense of good people being trapped into heinous acts by circumstances beyond their control. The ending is not particularly satisfying because the script lacks a strong theme. There is an imbalance between their actions and the consequences of those actions. The characters haven't grown or developed through their experiences. We don't know what they would do in similar circumstances in the future or why and we're left with no better understanding of what we should do in similar circumstances in real life.
