The Other Woman

[***Contains what may be considered to be 'mild' SPOILERS] Ordered this to watch while my hubby was working out of town thinking it would be a good "chick flick." Well, it WAS a great chick flick but also enough of at least 3 male characters energies; Mark King as Kate (Leslie Mann) King's handsome but pretty rotten husband played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones), Frank, Carly (Cameron Diaz) Whitten's father, (a bit grizzled looking Don Johnson), and Kate's brother, Phil, played by Taylor Kinney - a not-as-of-yet well known actor but sure with his natural onscreen persona and guy next door good looks, he soon will be a familiar face in movies. The guys' characters are just about as interesting as the girls (JUST about) and the story takes a fairly common premise about infidelity to a higher entertainment level. All three of the female actors/characters do a fantastic job of making their unique and different personalities very believable and entertaining. This is first I've seen Kate Upton (famous for voluptuous figure as Sports Illustrated model) in a movie and she is really a natural. I also have to give thumbs up for entertainer/actress Nicky Minaj, as Lydia, a spunky and funny assistant to Carly at the high powered NY law firm. SO, guys there is entertainment here for you too - in fact, my husband and I are watching it again this evening because he actually thought it sounded refreshingly funny which it is. Kate, (Mann) may give her funniest performance in this role - LOTS of laughs from her zany but endearing character and Diaz does a great job playing the straight contrasting personality to Mann's whacky antics. We get to see them in the Bahamas, and The Hamptons, and of course New York City where Diaz is a high powered attorney and Mann has become a stay-at-home wife living in the Connecticut suburbs yet doing most of the business brainstorming for her cad of a husband. Perhaps the best scenes are when all three women discover they are romantically involved with the same guy, who is "dating" both Diaz and Upton while using Kate to unwittingly put her name as CEO on some of his bogus companies. When the 3 gals eventually meet up, they form a very unconventional friendship and plan the perfect revenge for Kate's husband while bonding and teaming up together. This offers some great laughs and is well played out for a lighthearted (and at times romantic) comedy. I laughed a lot more than I thought I would and think it could also be a good 'date movie.' The ensemble work together in perfect cadence and don't skip a beat. We've found that maybe one out of ten movies are really good these days and "The Other Woman" won't disappoint (either chicks or dudes ;-))! P.S. My husband did watch this movie with me the following night and I enjoyed it as much the 2nd time around and was happy to see my husband laughing out loud at a number of scenes. We both agreed this movie had an element of humor not unlike "Bridesmaids" and "Forty Year-old Virgin," which at first glance would each seem (respectively) like a chick or a dude flick, but ended up being funny movies for both sexes.

The Other Woman isn’t anything deep, but it’s actually really entertaining. The dynamic between the three women is what makes it work, and there are a lot of genuinely funny moments. It’s the kind of movie you throw on when you just want something light and enjoyable. Solid for a casual watch.

Hella funny. A must watch. Good laugh about sisterhood.

This is such a funny movie, I've watched it a few times now. Love that Cameron Diaz and Nikki Minaj are both in it 😂

Funny and sad. Men do cheat and so do women. People get caught in their shenanigans.

This is my FAVORITE movie and the price is sooo worth it it’s practically a steal 😩

The Other Woman is a hilarious and empowering comedy starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton. The story follows three women who team up after discovering they’re involved with the same man. It’s funny, lighthearted, and full of memorable moments. A fun watch for a girls’ night! 💄✨

The Other Woman is a lighthearted romantic comedy that treads familiar ground with a story about betrayal, revenge, and ultimately, sisterhood. Directed by Nick Cassavetes, the film features an ensemble cast led by Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton. The premise is built around a love triangle gone wrong, with a surprising twist that ultimately leads to an unlikely alliance between the women involved. The Other Woman is a fun, feel-good movie that provides plenty of laughs and lighthearted moments. If you’re in the mood for an easy watch that focuses on humor, friendship, and a bit of revenge, this is a solid pick. My husband even enjoyed the movie’s humor and the great chemistry between the women, making it a rare rom-com that we could both enjoy together. While it may not be the most profound film, it’s definitely a good choice for a night in when you want to relax and have a few laughs.

Good film, funny.

Fun movie with the Queen of rap in it. I loved this.

Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton are absolutely hilarious in this film. A man cheating on his wife with two other women is and interesting storyline. It definitely united unexpected friends to get even with the man that played them. I laughed and the special features in the blu-ray are all right. Gag reels and deleted scenes are extra entertainment. Definitely recommend for the family movie night.

The best film ever ❤️

Such a good movie. Plays great on Canadian dvd/bluray.
