Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Sadly Over-hyped

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Dressed up as a comedy movie, the narrative surrounds three grown adult women who attempt to resolve an affair by playing childish pranks and eventually driving the man to self harm and bankruptcy.Instead of speaking with the cheating husband about the affairs, our female protagonists think it funny to...
Involuntarily alter his body by overdosing his drinks with female hormones.Dilute his shampoo with hair removing cream, causing him to lose his hair.Flush his toothbrush in the toilet...Pour dangerous amounts of laxative into his drink at a restaurant.Have a drag queen sexually assault him without consent.All the while, the women are portrayed as strong supportive characters, with a cringey slow-motion beach shot where they all hold each other as if to say 'yeah girl power! we're all in this cruel vendetta until the end!'.After the slew of assaults upon his person, they climax by confronting him, causing him to have a nervous breakdown, and they literally stand around watching as he breaks his nose and then trips into a glass pane that shatters and cuts him up. They literally just stand there watching. Nobody offers to check if he's okay or call an ambulance. I guess that's okay because he's a man.The worse thing about this movie is that it is NOT a good portrayal of women, and there is something seriously wrong with society if we do find this funny.

Mark (Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau from Game of Thrones) is a millionaire businessman married to Kate (Leslie Mann) and is having simultaneous affairs with Carly (Cameron Diaz) and Amber (Kate Upton). Carly accidentally runs into Kate and both come to the horrible realization that Mark is an cheating reprobate. They meet up with Amber and plot their revenge on him. You can see where this is going. A common issue with modern Hollywood romantic comedies is how to appeal to men and women. Here, the movie tries to incorporate feminist themes but also tries to get men in by casting a hot woman and have a whole scene dedicated to flaunting her shapely body a la Bo Derek. The guys will have to wait until halfway through the movie to see Kate Upton's "famous" bikini scene. So the movie has no idea what kind of audience it wants. All of the characters in this movie are horrible. None of them came across as likable and I wanted them all dead. The acting isn't much better. Diaz clearly phoned in her performance. Anything for a paycheck, I guess. Mann was easily the most annoying person in the whole movie. Upton can't act. All she does is look so perfect all the time and be everything Diaz and Mann are not. Waldau was okay, nothing special. Nicki Minaj was terrible. She plays Diaz's supportive best friend and she constantly talked like she was rapping onstage. I couldn't understand half of what she said. Don Johnson, what are you doing with your life? Even more baffling is that the director is Nick Cassavetes (son of famous actor and filmmaker John Cassavetes). Hollywood has a seriously twisted view of female empowerment. It seems to think that being a strong woman means being just as cruel and spiteful as men. The three female leads decide to punish the guy through public humiliation. If this movie was about three men who get their revenge on a woman the same way, it would have stirred up legitimate controversy. This story could have worked, but Hollywood ruined it with this unpleasant, mean-spirited comedy that paints all men as cheating pigs and all women as shallow, co-dependent halfwits with daddy issues. The Other Woman hurts the cause for female empowerment a whole lot more than it helps.

The Other Woman is an unfunny, bland and messy romantic comedy that still finds itself sunk by its wafer thin characters and other better films that dealt with cheating husbands/boyfriends. Director Nick Cassavetes is far removed from the talent of his father.Carly Whitten (Cameron Diaz) finds out her rich, successful businessman boyfriend Mark is married. When she meets the wife (Leslie Mann) they find out that they actually awkwardly like each other in an odd couple way. Later on they find out that he is cheating on them both with a younger and more buxom Amber (Kate Upton) so all three women team up for revenge by humiliating him.Just so the audience finds the discomfort that Mark goes through is OK such as pooping in his pants because of secretly added laxatives they also make him someone who is framing his wife to take the rap for his dicey business dealings.A tired, contrived and laboured film.

what a waste of time, the plot seemed a good idea, the actresses seemed a good choice, but how anyone can laugh out loud at this garbage is beyond me. All involved must have been working for a pay check, no talent was involved , simply going through the motions , doesn't even make it as a Rom com, over the top acting and a rubbish script.... Cameron Diaz is usually good, but this was below par, the love rat was dreadful and I felt no sympathy for him, but I guess I wasn't supposed to, so that one thing worked in the movie, and now I'm just typing to fill up ten lines so this review is acceptable to IMDb So to summarise, it was rubbish, oh and return to sender is crap too...
