A Boyfriend for my Wife movie scene

Valeria Bertuccelli is wooed by Gabriel Goity in A Boyfriend for my Wife.

Olive Films delivered the popular 2008 Argentine romantic comedy  movie A Boyfriend for My Wife (Un Novio Para Mi Mujer in its native language) on DVD on Oct. 4, 2011, for a list price of $29.98.

The film concerns Tenso (Adrian Suar), a stressed man who goes to unusual lengths to get out of his unhappy marriage after realizing that he lacks the courage to ask his wife Tana (Valeria Bertuccelli) for a divorce. He seizes the idea to hire a womanizer nicknamed “The Crow” (Gabriel Goity) to romance Tana and woo her away, hoping that she’ll be the one who asks for the divorce once she realizes she no longer loves him.

Juan Taratuto (It’s Not You, It’s Me) directed this Spanish-language comedy, which was Argentina’s top-grossing film of 2008.

The movie wasn’t released in theaters in the U.S., but that didn’t stop it from being snatched up by Steve Carrell’s company Carousel Productions and positioned to be remade as an English-language star vehicle for Carrell.

On DVD, the film is presented in Spanish with English subtitles.
