A Boyfriend for My Wife

In Buenos Aires, the smalltime merchant Diego "Tenso" Polsky (Adrián Suar) has a boring life with his unpleasant wife Andrea "Tana" Ferro (Valeria Bertuccelli), who is constantly in a bad mood. Tenso does not have courage to leave his wife, so his friend Carlos (Marcelo Xicarte) suggests him to force his wife to divorce him. They meet the womanizer Cuervo Flores (Gabriel Goity) and Tenso hires him to seduce his wife and gets a job for her in a small radio station.

Tana changes her behavior and her temper dating Flores and working in the radio station and her show becomes a hit. Meanwhile Tenso fall in love with her again but it is too late to keep their marriage.

"Un Novio para Mi Mujer" is a romantic drama wrongly labeled of romantic comedy. The story is original, but Adrián Suar and Gabriel Goity are miscast: Adrián Suar's character is a clumsy and unattractive man and Gabriel Goity's character does not have the look of a seducer. Tenso is a loser that does not deserve Tana, but the conclusion with an open end is perfect for the story. My vote is six.
