Review of The Other Woman (2014) by Christopher H — 01 Aug 2014
If I wanted to see Kate Upton running in a skimpy bikini, I would just Google it. When it comes to most romantic comedies, I can get on board, but "The Other Woman" lost me. Admittedly, the female camaraderie on-screen is a nice change of pace for this type of film, bringing to mind "John Tucker Must Die", but with low brow humor and even lower brow performances.
Diaz is talented in her own right, and with films like "The Counselor", she proves just how far she can stretch away from this romantic comedy typecast. Kudos to Leslie Mann, who commits to the role and carries it as best she can, proving she has lasting power outside of her husband's (Judd Apatow) shadow.
Perhaps the female revenge comedy appeals more to women, but for the boyfriends or husbands being dragged to "The Other Woman", I am completely apologetic. Now if you will excuse me, I have some Googling to do.
