Reviews
|
Village Voice -
If I Were You is a screwball comedy for Canadians—not LOL funny, but as crazy as you might expect Toronto to get.
|
|
Slant Magazine -
A wannabe French-style infidelity farce that keeps indulging in unnecessary bathos and subplots.
|
|
New York Post -
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. She had the exact same problem with her last movie, “A Previous Engagement.’’
|
|
Time Out -
It’s a complex geometry that’s mined for some interesting perspectives on romantic fulfillment, but the film’s comic sense (exemplified by a drunken Harden acting inappropriately) is slack and its dramatic conclusion unfulfilling.

The Hollywood Reporter -
A modern cinematic equivalent of the sort of tired sex farces that used to populate Broadway with regularity, If I Were You simultaneously exploits and squanders the talents of its star, Marcia Gay Harden.
