The Other Woman (2014)

If there is anything wrong with this movie, you will be laughing too much to notice.

This is one of the funniest films ever. Leslie Mann is a comedy genius and is at her best here as the insecure wife who finds out that her husband is enjoying affairs. Cameron Diaz is very good as a woman who finds out that she's one of his mistresses.The reason I'm not giving it a 10 is that the first several minutes are bad. The opening song is so bad that it's painful to listen to. What looks like it's going to be a sex scene turns out not to happen. The first conversations (between the man and Diaz's character and between him and his wife) are boring.Don't let the bad start put you off - it gets really good as soon as the wife and Diaz's character meet.

I have to say I'm kind of surprised at this film.I definitely thought it was going to be one of those where the best parts were in the trailer. Don't get me wrong, most of the funny parts WERE in the trailer but there were more during the film.Obviously it's not going to be cinematic brilliance but it's something to sit, turn off your brain and be entertained.The cast is okay. Cameron Diaz is pretty much the same character that she is in most of her movies, Leslie Mann's character is sometimes a bit too much during the film; Kate Upton seemed to be there only to be the pretty, younger one.It's an okay film. Good for a once watch but I probably wouldn't watch it again.

Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau not able to repair the plot. I not support cheating... but I think real cheaters only laugh at the moments of this film. Why? Let me to introduce the character of our Gold Lion: Mark King (name describe the character trope) Mark King is a business man... decent, tall, handsome, shrewd and looks-like a romantic-film type man by always wearing full business or using the rolled up shirt style. He is DEFINITELY not cautious or overthinking. Mark King's flaw is not over-cheating but his insane foolery. Mark cheating his wife with two women. This is a fair set, I believe harmed, abused or bullied woman may enjoy his downfall as a temporary cure to their problems. Mark works as a regular man, maybe low-cunning in the script, but he is dumb. He types different woman on his ******** account, lie to travel to golf or a business trip. (typical American cliché): Mark however had maybe two chance to redeem himself, but all may be ended in bittersweet. If he told, that the papers for the illegal companies signed by his wife, then the wife surely hates him, even Mark told him, that it made for their wealth. No way for the previous events... - Mark is an evil man... boastful females can look down the people by that fictional or real character's attitude. Their hateful arrogance in that way is shredding the mind. BUT, if Mark stick on his wife side and when he failed to broke the law, his wife may excuse him and she can visit him in the prison! It also been a somewhat downer ending. - Mark cheating even Kate Upton's meaningless character. He is a "playboy" man with "playboy" attitudes and desires: More cars, more women and more wealth. I feel sorry to Leslie Mann's character, she is trapped.In fact the characters of Nikolaj-Coaster, Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton and all are meaningless ones are paper-thin and without depths. I not give it to a 1/10 rating, because the core of the plot is logical. A skin-deep man cheated his wife three times, also protect himself bad falsehood... like golf match, business trips or incoming calls from co-workers. He provided his position by signing the papers with his wife. Sorry Leslie Mann... your character is dumb too... I even realized it now. SHE definitely not read the papers or speak about this? A fool, a blinded fool. When they in a serious situation (several times) a woman speaks about something and the other two around him begin the natter. This makes the film non-serious! Right... Mark and Leslie Mann's character are in the dead end, because of the plot, somehow for the law of ugly-trashy enjoyment the redhead will become the main protagonist. In a logical film, Mark should be taken to prison by broke the law and Leslie Mann will require some intelligence uplift, because her dizziness and dumbness caused her downfall, even if she able to create business ideas. Her kind nature are irrelevant now. Cameron Diaz... healthy in appearance and bad in acting. Seriously, she feels herself old... the film even jokes it, as he always compare herself the youth in an uncomfortable way. Her character is a fake-lawyer architecture woman, by the way fake-lawyers also go the prison? What about that line of story? All people just ignore her? (LET'S CALL HER LAWYER FURTHERMORE) OK right? He is easily deceived by a cheater, while she not met the wife. Where she taken her degree? She is blind? She should have suspect it by somehow, if the film motivations and other background things were made it properly. Kate Upton is believable than a lawyer, even a fool (but maybe richer) man can deceive a naive youngster. Return to the lawyer. She is a maniac! INSTEAD OF TELL THE POLICE about situation, he begins to plot a CHILDISH revenge in an Adam Sandler level. And when the another no- name wife's brother tell him some advice, she replies: Leave your silly man logic... MAN LOGIC? Tarnation... that character is awful, she spits the eye of the reasonable! The revenge plot and the all other party scene with the sun-burnt terrace is simply awful. Man logic... people should know, that in the cover of the no-depths of the lawyer, there are hidden personality with the disdain of different people. A greedy, satanic, envious, avenger and boastful personality. For the rule of why not, she befriending the naive, kind, dumb, needy and silly-smart wife. The end of the film with that old man is lame and awful. Kate Upton's character is only for fan service. She only served as a third cheated person. Her "jokes" not improved the film. The "punishment" is maybe funny for those, who grown up with Adam Sandler, but in real life they are desperate and childish. The office scene is wrong, even it has a potential, where even Mark's boss invited by the women, but this scene ended with Adam Sandler jokes. Right... the end is Euphoria ending, everything is happy except Mark, enemy is out and the princess saved. Beautiful? Only for the fools! Logical? No! I can tell an alternate version: - Mark cheated his wife, wife and the lawyer take this to the court. They deal with the economic end of the problem (in the film it is done, even it is sketchy and we not see, how they do it CORRECTLY) and Mark went to prison, without burlesque- themed wall fails and life-dangerous pranks, however no one can proof that... maybe except that a skilled one begins to investigate, they surely gets on caught. But please... they are adult people, adults do not needed to act like stupid peasant women from the 9th century.Overall: 4/10 - Jaime/Nikolaj is a fine actor, even in this nothing-role - Leslie Mann is likable, even with her serious flaws.The others are nothing in this film, sorry.
