Movie Review: The Other Woman

Official Movie Poster

Revenge has never been so scandalously funny.  The plot is classic; a married guy two times his wife, meanwhile the other woman finds out that he's not the man of her dreams, together they find a way to give him the shaft.  It's the details that makes this movie worth watching.  For those viewers who like plenty of broad, physical comedy, buy yourself a ticket.  Director, Nick Cassavetes, has put together a movie reality where all the women get along and men are just plain awful.  Don't bother to look beyond that.  This movie is just for fun.

Cameron Diaz plays the other woman, Carly, a sophisticated and successful but lonely hot-shot lawyer, bored with dating frogs and looking to finally settle down.  Unfortunately she was taken in by a married man who has a ditzy but faithful wife (played by Leslie Mann) at home.   The wife, Kate, finds out about Carly, and seeks her out. Then they find out that there is still another woman (played by the lush Kate Upton) involved, and the three team up to exact revenge.  The movie runs for a little over an hour and a half but it doesn't seem like it.
