Review of The Other Woman (2014) by Akshay H — 12 Dec 2014

Such a waste of time.

There was not a scene in this film that made laugh out loud. Maybe a small giggle about 3-4 times apart from that this in no way is a good comedy. Despite having a good cast, it falls flat with bad script and poor characterization. The jokes it tries to deliver are bland and the story is far too predictable.

The movie involves an adulterer Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau of Game of Thromes fame) who cheats not 1 or 2 but 3 girls Kate(Leslie Mann), Carly(Cameron Diaz) and Amber(Kate Upton). While Kate is Mark's wife whom he cheats for Carly. When both of them get to know Mark's secret they both team up to take him down. While our womanizer unaware that they both know the secret seems to have another woman in his life which is Amber. The earlier two had been following Mark also take Amber into their secret and now on the ultimate mission to teach the s.o.b. Mark a good lesson. It seems Mark is not only cheating on the girls but seem to have invested fake money in the name of his wife Kate.

Now there is also Nicki Minaj who plays some secretary at Carly's office was simply unwatchable with an annoying accent.Kate Upton also bored with her acting but the viewers were kept distracted by her body. She simply runs on a beach in a bikini for no reason and that's pretty much her role in the movie. Cameron Diaz was nothing special and Leslie Mann tries too hard to play this crazy-insecure wife. Nikolaj was my favorite actor among the lot, but he is portrayed as one of the worst person giving a damn about anyone in his life.

There was not a single funny dialogue or scene which I remember. All it tries to be is a feel-good movie about 3 girls who become BFFs. There is also some toilet-humor forced onto like dog cgi-pooping in apartment, man shitting his pants, if you find that all funny then good this is the movie for you. But for me it is easily in the bad-worst movie region of the year.

RATING:[1/5].
