Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton star in the comedy "The Other Woman."
The film follows Carly (Diaz), Kate (Mann) and Amber (Upton) as the plot their revenge on Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). Mark has been cheating on his wife Kate with Carly and Amber, but little does he know what he's up against once all three are in on his dirty little secrets.
The San Francisco Chronicle says you should watch it to enjoy Leslie Mann's performance:
"If you see 'The Other Woman,' watch Mann and don't take her for granted. Watch what she's doing - or rather how much she's doing simultaneously. Her line readings seem intuitive and spontaneous, guided by some unerring sense of comic timing. Yet, while nailing every laugh, she ropes in aspects of the character's history, too. The pain of her betrayal. Her anger at letting herself get talked out of having children. This is the ideal comic synthesis - all the laughs on the surface, but with all the pain underneath."
The Chicago Tribune rated the film a 2.5 out of 4 stars:
"Many films come to mind watching this one, among them 'Working Girl' (Nicki Minaj, the rapper/singer, glides through the role of Carly's assistant) and 'The First Wives Club."'The repartee ranges from leisurely discussions of personal landscaping to faintly hypocritical soul-searching regarding love and fulfillment. Primarily the movie is selling teeth and clothing. Still, line to line, it's fresher than any number of guy-centric 'Hangover'-spawned affairs, despite director Cassavetes' lack of flair for slapstick. Diaz remains a game physical comic even when her two-headed film's asking no more of her than to dance, or stumble into some bushes."
Rotten Tomatoes audience viewers certified the film fresh with 64 percent rating:
"This story puts a fresh spin on the chick flick formula, instead of the woman being rivals they become best of friends in a most unlikely situation. The chemistry between the three is believable, bubbly and at times edgy when the stakes get high as the women attempt to plan. There is one scene that felt stale and that's when Kate and Carly decide to stop being friends, it's cliché and becomes predictable after but once they rejig their friendship the film gets going again."
