The Other Woman is surprisingly humorous, ironic and entertaining. A unique concept to see a group of women team up against a habitual cheater. Funny film from start to finish and some good chemistry that really shows. 7/10

This movie has become a comfort film for me. The chemistry between the three leads and Leslie Man's acting was perfect. Though it had me cringing sometimes, the comedy was almost always spot on. Nikolai Coster-Waldau played the perfect manipulative cheater and was perfect for the role of Mark, he does one of the best jobs in the movie. Though I would recommend this movie, I wouldn't recommend it to families watching it together. This film although good, it's has its ups and downs. Don Johnson's performance as Frank was not great. I didn't feel that Frank cared enough for his sister, especially when he was told everything. Nicki Minsk's performance as Lydia was also not the best, but she did a fine enough job.

This film was chosen by someone else. I went along for the ride, not expecting much, as I am not a big Cameron Diaz fan. But, I have to say, that I laughed as loud as anyone else in the movie theater. It was so funny, and entertaining. Sure, there were moments when you thought - hey this doesn't make any sense, but if you park reality at the door, and just sit and enjoy the hilarity of the situation and the characters, it was pretty entertaining. I left the theater satisfied that my movie dollars were well spent for a couple of hours of diversion from life's troubles. I reckon that this film will not win many awards, but I enjoyed it more than Bridesmaids. So, if you are looking for a great chick flick, this is a good one.

This is exactly what it advertises itself to be. At least that was refreshing. It's completely mindless and almost every single character is either extremely shallow or irritating and often both.

As badly as this is written, somehow Leslie Mann makes it work for her character. She manages to make the viewer actually care about her somehow. She simply puts it all on the table and her boldness mixed with her charm manages to rise above awful material. The rest of the cast is, frankly, terrible. The cheating husband is such a dumb cartoon character. Cameron Diaz has grown genuinely unpalatable. Kate Upton tried her gorgeous best but it's clear even the director had to try and cut around her acting shortcomings. I smell a few Razzie nominations for this mess.

Cameron Diaz is back in comedy, after her amazing turn in last year's "The Counselor", in which she finally nailed a solid, challenging dramatic performance. Now that she's back in the home territory, she would, one assumes, be able to do what she's been doing so well for almost twenty years. "The Other Woman" is really a two-header, between Diaz and Leslie Mann, as a standard straight-laced/ridiculous combination in the Laurell and Hardy vein, as two women unknowingly in love with the same man; Mann is his wife, Diaz is his casual fling, although she doesn't know it yet. When things finally come out, Kate's(Mann) world collapses, and she clings to Carly (Diaz) for help, and eventually, revenge. What neither of them are aware of, though, is that husband Mark, is his infidelity is pathological, and that Mark, far from being the desirable lover, is a worrying villain, who not only cheats in love, but is planning to cheat millions of dollars out of various businesses. Can the Lawyer, the Wife and The Boobs defeat his evil schemes in time? Actually, Nick Cassavettes new film is delightfully un-pretentious in its' presentation of good, relatively clean fun. Whilst this is not one of the most outstandingly memorable comedies you'll ever see in your life, it is an appealing, aesthetically pleasing 109 minutes of frothy, silly entertainment. It isn't all Biblical moping about, or CGI dominated video game super hero movies. It's a film about people - simple, bizarre comic archetypes, in a relatively competent script, that is just sufficiently lacking in structure to be fun, without being aimless. It's not especially laugh-out loud funny, again, but it mixes slapstick sequences, with sharp wit, and cringe-worthy monologues, courtesy of Leslie Mann, who is hilarious, and yet at times, so embarrassing it is hard to watch. But this is, thankfully, all in character - she plays a hopelessly devoted, and hopelessly stupid wife, whose enthusiasm is both cute and more importantly, the driving force behind the entire plot more or less. Feminists may criticise this character, as indeed they have, but without her, none of this film could have happened. And also; it's a comedy for god's sake. Of course she's silly. She's meant to be. This isn't a statement about what all women are like, the same way that Mark is not meant to represent an archetypal man. Grotesque stereotypes are what fuel all the best comedies, and this is no exception.

The balance between the three female leads is at times, uneven - Mann gets most of the gags, Diaz is playing essentially an exasperated "Straight Woman" to her incessant stream of breakdowns, and Upton plays perhaps an even more offensive stereotype (very well) of the dumb, sexy blonde. Whilst she isn't the best actress in the world, Upton's character actually has a lot of potential, which isn't quite fully exploited, when you finally get over the fact that you enjoyed the film better when it was just Diaz and Mann.

There are a few moments of rock-bottom crudity, which, depending on your tastes, will make or break the movie for you. Some work, and some don't, but on the whole, it is a love song to female friendships, about the importance of having friends you can rely on...over having a single meaningful relationship. Yes, it is a little cock-eyed, I'll grant you, but, allowing for the situation these characters are in, its' about the most positive message to be derived from the action. Mark is totally without redeeming features, which is a good thing in these days of moral apathy, and a light comedy is a strange place to find such a well defined sense of moral aesthetic, but at the end of the day, it is rather a "Sisters doing it for themselves" kind of film. And Mark is a worthy adversary for their curiously puerile revenge, which soon blossoms into something far more effective - A point a lot of critics who have criticised the film's "lack of realism", seem to have missed out on.

Their final revenge is definitely satisfying, although there are moments were the momentum rather sags, not soon after Kate Upton is introduced. This isn't Upton's fault - she actually has some of the best lines("She's not a whore - She's just a slut"), but there's no denying the film's finest moments are the horribly awkward "Let's be friends" chemistry between Diaz and Mann. However, the resolution is quite complex, and very well worked out - only, it's not exactly set up very well - although there's no denying that it is an effective climax. However, the final shots - freeze frames detailing the fates of each one of the three "Other Women", seems rather ill-conceived, and a more fully realised ending may have been nice, especially as it makes the rather perfunctory romantic sub-plots seem even more perfunctory. But then I suppose in a film about "Women Together", the idea of romantic fulfilment may see rather old-fashioned.

On the whole, then, Cameron Diaz is on cracking form, and may well be reaching a new pinnacle in her career, although its' more than likely that this will go down in history as a decent enough movie, not a classic.(Like "The Holiday")But Diaz seems even more comfortable at this age, sharper, funnier and more measured in her performances. Mann essentially makes 75% of the comedy in the film, and a nice sexy cameo from Nicki Minaj as Diaz's self-serving, empowered PA is a nice bonus- but it really doesn't make or break - she's on screen for maybe 4 and a half minutes in all. But, this is a piece of fun, and, in a rather turgid climate of grossly over-rated mainstream garbage, it's definitely an entertaining way to spend an afternoon.

This movie was funny. I saw it with my girlfriend and was dreading but surprisingly it was pretty good. Cameron Diaz still has it going on and the girl who played the main actress was really funny. The only bad thing I can say is Taylor Kinney cannot act to save his life. He's one of the worst actors I've ever seen. Painful to watch. I guess looks are everything in Hollywood. On the up side of things the main actor was really good and it was a pleasant surprise to see Don Johnson. It was neat seeing how the two main women switched roles and one became more loving and the other became ore independent. It was a cute movie overall and I would recommend it. Like I said Lady Gaga's boyfriend should really stick to acting in her videos because that way he doesn't have to speak and show that he cannot act.

The Other Woman is a 2014 American romantic comedy film directed by Nick Cassavetes and written by Melissa Stack. The film stars Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton, Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Kinney.

The Movie Plot: After discovering her boyfriend Mark is married, Carly tries to get her ruined life back on track. But when she accidentally meets the wife he's been cheating on, Kate, she realizes they have much in common, and her sworn enemy becomes her greatest friend. When yet another affair, Amber, is discovered, all three women team up to plot mutual revenge on the cheating, lying, three-timing Mark. Things get a lot crazier when they discover that Mark isn't a three-timer he's a four-timer

I really loved this film the women were deliciously cute and their acting was amazing. I laughed a lot and honestly I was surprised that this movie is rather excellent and has been under-rated. The movie poster is simply perfect. Believe me this film is a masterpiece. See it and you will spend the best of times and I guarantee you will quite enjoy this film and you'll love these irresistible ladies.

Honestly, this was fine for what it was advertised as: a fun romp just for laughs. If you're looking for something that will awe you with its awesome-ness, you're looking for the wrong movie.

I've read a lot of the negative reviews. Yes, the man is a POS and quite frankly not very fleshed out other than the fact that he's a terrible guy. Diaz was a little unappealing as the bitch lawyer and perhaps Kate Upton's acting does leave something to be desired. But honestly, no matter what the poster or some of the movie might suggest, this movie seems to me like it centered around Mann's character finding her way after everything in her life goes to hell. And for that, I think it did fine.

I really don't care how unrealistic or clichéd this movie is because I loved it. It was absolutely hilarious and stayed true to it's chick flick roots.

Leslie Mann deserves major credit because she is incredibly talented and carried a lot of the movie. Don't get me wrong I also enjoyed Cameron Diaz & Kate Upton's performances but Leslie is in a comedy league of her own. So incredibly impressed was I with the movie that I was even able to alter my personal feelings about Cameron Diaz (I don't know what it is but she annoys me).

Be prepared to throw your expectations and sense of reality out of the window for this film. If you do I think you will love it.

The end was too rush and I felt wow... The end was too Hollywood, I mean, the husband was too bad and the director of this film gave him no salvation! but not sorry for the cheater at all.

3 perfect women, obviously perfect, were cheated and try to revenge. The middle of the film is so funny and 3 women are so beautiful and cute even though they do cruel things. I really like it. (I do agree cheaters don't change.) Cameron is really nice whenever she is in comedy films!!!!

*I suggest men to be careful as you watch this fun only for girls show. Otherwise, you feel bad, even if you can expect what happens in this show.

The movie is kind of the typical woman revenge film and as a man I didn't know how will I react to it, unless a movie try to shove in your face "girls power" I react to female protagonist no different than a male protagonist and the fact that the villain is male also doesn't bother me unless they try to show all of the men as evil monsters, this movie did a good job (until the last scene with the male) not making it feel like girls power because the women character didn't try to be strong and thought but just make them normal women and when it comes to the male, we do see more males in the film and not all of them are "horrible monsters" like "the villain" some of them are nice, funny and even helping them. Some people might not like it, but I see that as a no different movie than any other revenge film.

Hilarious and clunky yet lots of fun if you void out the flaws. Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann are so great for the most part although it does seem like Diaz fell of the map of acting the last 8 years. The Other Woman is ridiculously awesome guilty pleasure! Nick Cavettes has done solid projects some of which are better than this; pretty good movie for what it is.

It wasn't bad. Wasn't all that good. Had some funny parts. Actually kate upton had some funny parts playing a ditz but ofcourse there were some cringe parts. I wouldn't expect you to find it hilarious nor all that boring.

My experience of watching The Other Woman can best be equated to being presented with a large iced cake, only to take a forkful and realise that beneath a miniscule layer of icing there lies nothing but impacted excrement. The film comes courtesy of director Nick Cassavetes (whose previous crime against celluloid was 2004's The Notebook) and is intended as a story of female empowerment as one woman (Cameron Diaz) who, upon discovering that her boyfriend is married, teams up with the wife (Leslie Mann) and another secret lover (Kate Upton) to take revenge.

The biggest of many, many problems with the film is that it pretends to be a story of female empowerment: I'm not sure if I missed a meeting, but since when has swooning over every male character, getting drunk and being sick into handbags been the mainstay of strong female characters? There is also a horrific display of double standards: could you imagine a film where a group of men get their own back on a cheating woman by suggesting that they kick her in between the legs or supply her with hormone pills designed for pre-op trans-sexuals? The initial promise portrayed by the film's poster (a knuckleduster sporting a wedding ring in place of a spike) is scuppered within the first five minutes.

The three leads actresses are incessantly annoying, Diaz sporting a possibly plastic-enhanced smile all the way through, Leslie Mann apparently under the belief that any line of dialogue can be made funnier simply by shouting it, and Kate Upton is there purely for set dressing. The second Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau (playing the cheating husband) walks into frame, the women (even the ones he has cheated on and lied to) can't help but fall instantly in love with him. Nicki Minaj is cast as an assistant to Diaz' lawyer character (no, I'm not making that up), and spends her scenes plastered in grotesque layers of make-up and doing her best to shove her bottom at the camera.

As if that last piece of casting wasn't enough, the entire film seems to be populated by the interior decoration of Maxim magazine, everyone looking perfectly tanned with perfect hair and nails and sporting snow-white teeth. None of the events or the dialogue bears anything even resembling real life, at best looking slightly tacky and at worst giving characters lines like 'you need to cry on the inside, like winners do'. I guess that makes me the biggest winner in the entire universe, because I left the cinema positively bursting with internal tears.

At best, one could say that the film is coherently put together…and that's it. There is nothing else in this vacuous, grotesque, star-studded pile of crap to redeem it, and the fact that it has just taken around $25 million in America is a depressing reminder of the state of modern cinema. At least Devil's Due had the decency to make me feel so ill that I could have prematurely left the cinema with my integrity intact, but The Other Woman kept me pinned, mentally kicking and screaming for the entirety of its' unbearable 110 minutes.

Just watched this with my movie theatre-working friend. We both enjoyed this comedy about three women getting revenge on one man. There's his wife (Leslie Mann), his paramour (Cameron Diaz) who ends it after finding out about that wife, and the younger paramour (Kate Upton) who finds out from the previous two. Quite hilarious we both found this and nice team-up on those three. Oh, and Don Johnson appears as the father of one of those three. When his name appeared on screen, my friend says he didn't know he was in it which then made me mention that "Miami Vice" was nearly 30 years ago (though neither of us watched it much since "Dallas" was on at the same time) which then reminded us of our age especially when I then pointed out to him the placement of a couple of songs from that era as well when they were played (A cover version of Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield" and Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun"). Anyway, in summary, we both found The Other Woman a lot of fun.

The Other Woman plays at the same pace of a turkey cooking on Thanksgiving...and you have front and center seats to watch every painful second of it. The latest film from Nick Cassevettes is an absolute dud, and another failure to mark down for Cameron Diaz. This is hands down the worst film of 2014 so far. The comedy is bland and under-cooked, the performances are terrible (aside from the always perfect Leslie Mann), and the story overall can't find its footing. We spend the first twenty minutes of this film seeing Cameron Diaz waltz around like the baddest bitch alive then only to succumb to being apart of the supporting cast once Leslie Mann's character is introduced. So not only do we have a character in Diaz that is relatively unlikable, we also spend the next half hour of the film getting used to Leslie Mann's presence as she takes over the screen as the lead. This is surprising to see especially because it was marketed as a "Cameron Diaz" movie. While she is in the film just as much as Leslie Mann, she has no character development and no driving force by the hour mark. The supporting cast, which includes the likes of Kate Upton, Nicki Minaj and Don Johnson isn't any better. Kate Upton's character maybe has fifteen minutes of screen time all together, and what a useless fifteen minutes it turns out to be. Nicki Minaj is even more horrid than imagined, not being able to say one line without sounding like she is reading off of cue cards and Don Johnson is, well, Don Johnson. Cassevettes has made some brilliant films over the course of his career such as Alpha Dog and She's So Lovely and I am a HUGE fan of his work, which is why I gave this movie a chance. But, in all honesty, he really missed the mark on this one and he has nobody to blame but himself, which is unfortunate because we all know the type of talent that this man is capable of. Overall, The Other Woman is a horrid excuse for a film and I can't really recommend this film to anybody. It marks the first film of 2014 to actually make me angry for, not only paying for it, but willingly sitting through it.

A misguided and horrible excuse for a female empowerment film, The Other Woman is a comedy that makes women look terrible and is absolutely miserable to watch, with horrendous performances, painfully unfunny attempts at humor, and poor writing.
