Idea for a movie

I dreamt this up (literally) last night. If you read this and decide to make this movie, please give me a nod in the credits and your acceptance speech.

It is called "Help Wanted." A wealthy socialite realizes that her husband is never around to do the things husbands do -- take her to events, take care of chores around the house and just be there as a husband. So she takes out an ad in the paper to hire a surrogate husband who can do/be all the things she needs. A series of men apply but each is run ragged by everything she demands and this gives her husband (who had time for a pang of jealousy) a good laugh. The neighboring boy (late teen?) starts doing all the things as favors and grows into the role but misunderstands and assumes that she favors him and is pursuing an affair with him so he keeps doing everything she asks. I'm thinking that the movie veers off into a psycho-thriller as the boy decides to force the issue. Other than that, it could be a lighthearted romp.
