What movie do you want made? If you got a pitch meeting with a producer and a guaranteed green light, what would you say?

    This gives a “woman, therefore bad” movie troupe vibe. But if directed like the movie “That’s my Boy” and the script-writing improved a little bit, I guess it could be sold as one of those weird dark comedy movie. That being said, you’re gonna have to get Adam Sandler as the husband.

      Not really going for a “woman, therefore bad” trope and I wouldn’t let the producers take it that way, as per the premise of the question. If I’m employing a trope, it would be “buddy good, even if he’s fucking your wife”. It’s a movie that puts friendship over toxic masculinity.

        Forgot to add this before, but this kinda reminds me of the short film Holding, which is quite similar to your plot, minus the Adam Sandler shenanigans.
