Je veux votre mari!

The version of this movie I saw on LMN was titled "Joy Fielding's The Other Woman". While I understand the movie was taken from Fielding's novel, I'm surprised she allowed her name to be attached to it.

There was just too much going on in the movie, with subplots left unresolved in the end, resulting in an unsatisfying mess of a movie. We have a murder, and we know who did it. But what happens to the murderer? We never find out. There is a missing son, who is found, in somewhat surprising circumstances. So how did he end up the way he did, and what happens with him next? No idea.

Then there is the main plot, which ends abruptly, leaving the viewer clueless as to what the full resolution, the complete end result of what happened, is. Part of that lack of resolution is not knowing what happens with the stepdaughter, since circumstances around her change drastically.

Adapting novels for movies is always tricky, since books can delve deeper into characters and subplots than movies have time to do. Better movies carefully choose what elements of a book to include, and what to leave out. While I haven't read the novel this movie is based on, it seems the screenwriters tried to stuff everything from the book into the movie. Then, given the limited run time they were allowed to give the movie, they just gave up, and ended it abruptly.

I never expect much from these kinds of movies, but this one was worse than most.

Watch it monthly. Everyone of my friends think it's so cute! Leslie Mann steals the show. Great one liners to be used in real life. Light hearted, cute and perfect for a gfs night in!

This movie irritated me quite a lot. Plot is so familiar you guess the ending in the first few minutes. And the leading lady, played by Josie Bisset was as annoying to watch. Wearing so tight jeans you could see her, you know what. Blouses so low it revealed, well not that much. And walking around wearing the same outfit almost throughout the movie. But the real problem is her hair. Most of the times you wanted to hand her a hair brush and tell her to brush her hair out of her face. She looked unkempt, almost dirty. Even when her hair was pulled back, seldom, there were strings hanging down in her face. Most of the time her bleached blonde hair was over one eye giving her a Hitler like look. It annoyed me that much. This lady needs grooming badly. Lisa Marie was another to much hair actress, if you want to call waking around pouting most of the time acting. Too much hair for someone her age. That lady needed a haircut. And poor Jason Proestley, whom I like as an actor, didn't have much to work with, script or actresses.

This was a loser film with loser performances and women that should act and look their age. GET SOME GROOMING AND BRUSH YOUR HAIR OUT OF YOUR FACE.

Jill was a journalist that left everything behind to start a life with her husband Derek, a husband that left his wife and daughter to be with her, now Jill is a University teacher and Derek is in the best moment of his career as a lawyer in one of the best firms in the city, everything is perfect until one day Nicole, an intern in the law-firm introduces her self to Jill and says "I'll marry your husband", since that day strange things start happening to Jill, but David, her husband doesn't see anything strange in Nicole.

Will Derek found out the truth about Nicole? Or Jill will have to pay for what she did in the beginning?

The problem with this movie is it didn't follow the book too well. The point of the book was that Nicole was so brazen, to just walk up to the wife and say she was going to steal the husband. And, when the wife told the husband, he was laughing about it, and she thought "Damn, he's interested." This movie had all the stalking and breaking and entering garbage. It just wasn't a book about that kind of thing... it was about knowing you were married to a man that would cheat because he had cheated with you. I also thought that the two women were somewhat reversed. Jill was sort of plain in the book, or at least felt plain. And Nicole was beautiful... trampy.. but truly beautiful. A young Vanessa Marcil. Not that thing in the movie. And Josie B. was too glamorous. I wanted to like this, because the book is really quite good.

The trial Derek won was the trial he was involved in that we never really got to see much of. It is not a trial of the women married to his senior partner.

Oh, and also the book never had the love interest for Jill. That wasn't what it was about.
