Interesting facts

Run for Your Wife is a 2012 British independent comedy film written by Ray Cooney, who co-directed it with John Luton. It is based on Cooney's 1983 play of the same name. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on 19 May 2012 and was released theatrically in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2013. It was critically panned, and is often cited as one of the worst films ever made, grossing just £602 at the box office on a £900,000 budget.

Production

Attempts at adapting the play to film date back to February 1998, when Fox 2000 Pictures outbid Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Pictures for the rights to the play as a possible project for director Harold Ramis. Over 80 celebrities have cameos in the film, with all of them pledging to donate their salaries to a theatrical charity. Vicki Michelle served as the film's executive producer.
