Madelyn takes full advantage of her position. As they acknowledge that their emotions cause them to make bad decisions, each woman will advise the other on romantic choices. and talks about her unfaithful husband without identifying him either. Without identifying herself, Madelyn encourages Lucy to divulge every detail about her affair with Paul. A few minutes later she is rescuing Lucy from a suicide attempt. Marketing expert Madelyn (Marcia Gay Harden) is shocked and hurt when she accidentally witnesses her husband Paul (Joseph Kell) sharing a drink with a sexy younger woman, Lucy (Leonor Watling of Almodóvar's Talk to Her). If it weren't for the constant use of cell phones (and they're cleverly used) the story could happen in 1954. The trick is of course finding the right comic tone, and I believe that she and her cast have achieved that. Writer-director Joan Carr-Wiggin doesn't strive for post-modern touches in what is basically a traditional farce about adultery. The actress carries this comic role with the kind of grace that years ago could well have made her a first rank star. It's a conventional romantic comedy with likeable actors led by the versatile but woefully underused Marcia Gay Hardin.

If I Were You received a no-release release after making a bright showing at film festivals, probably due to the sheer expense of a present-day distribution campaign.
#MARCIA GAY HARDEN IF I WERE YOU MOVIE#
That's the nature of the movie game these days. It often seems that the combined heft of the film industry pushes yet another comic book blockbuster, leaving by the wayside movies that at least deserve a chance at sleeper-hood. Some deserving movies don't break out of the pack, don't make a splash and don't get their share of attention. Original Music Paolo Buonvino, Guy Farley Starring Marcia Gay Harden, Leonor Watling, Joseph Kell, Aidan Quinn, Valerie Mahaffey, Gary Piquer, Michael Therriault. 2012 / Color / 1:78 enhanced widescreen / 115 min.
