I'm all for the switchover, and I have a perfect candidate: Obsessed (2009).
Ordinarily, this is a movie I would never, ever watch: it's a domestic melodrama, with a twisted, psychotic single woman determined to break up the marriage of of a seemingly happy couple. But the star power in this movie is off the charts, and everybody fully commits to their respective clichés: Idris Elba as the first flattered, then terrified wayward husband; Beyonce as the aggrieved wife and fierce mama bear; and Ali Larter as the psycho bitch.
The Beyonce/Larter battle at the end is worth wading through the occasional slow spots. Don't look for serious commentary on the state of the American marriage; dive in and wallow.
