Reviews


60
Village Voice - Unnamed
If I Were You is a screwball comedy for Canadians—not LOL funny, but as crazy as you might expect Toronto to get.
50
Slant Magazine - Nick Schager
A wannabe French-style infidelity farce that keeps indulging in unnecessary bathos and subplots.
50
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
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.’’
40
Time Out - Unnamed
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.
30
The Hollywood Reporter - Frank Scheck
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.
