A wife and a husband who hate each other hire the same hitman (unknowingly) to kill each other’s spouse. The hitman realizes this and uses it against them to teach them a lesson. The husband looked kinda like [Ben Stein](https://images.app.goo.gl/DcsBpUu7GGxexgNu5). In the beginning of the movie they had a fight over a burnt toast or something breakfast related.  
Sorry, that’s all I remember.
