The Other Woman (2014) 8/10

Starring : Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Don Johnson
Director : Nick Cassavetes
Running Time : 110 mins

Carly Whitten (Diaz) accidentally discovers that her new boyfriend Mark King (Coster-Waldau) is married when she meets his wife Kate (Mann). The two soon team up when they discover that Mark has been cheating on them both with sexy twenty-something Amber (Upton), and the three of them come up with a ploy to pay him back for his infidelities.

This is a likeable movie that people seem to brand as a chick flick. Personally I see this as a comedy revenge movie that is perfectly acted and filled with humorous scenes. I loved the relationship between Diaz and Mann, and how Mann latched on to the woman who normally she would see as an enemy but instead saw as an ally, a sounding board and a window into her husband’s secret life. A funny comedy that may not contain many surprises but it certainly makes up for that with laughs.
