Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
View MoreAs somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

View MoreI endured it for two reasons, and only because of them I'm giving it a 5 out of 10: The hot guy who plays Jamie Lanister; and the ladies clothes... Superb! The movie itself, not so much... Leslie Mann as the deceived wife is extremely annoying and gross; up to the point that I thought the movie was going to be about her realization of how unpleasantness is not the best way to keep your husband's love. A number of dubiously original or amusing gags ensue to her discovery of 'the other woman' - aka Cameron Diaz in a refreshingly mature and sedated role-; including dipping the husband's toothbrush in urine and mixing his food with copious amounts of estrogen AND a laxative; which in my book classifies at attempt poisoning and not just an amusing way of getting payback. It takes a really bad movie to make a feminist like me kinda empathize with a cheating man; this one achieved it!
View MoreMark (Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau from Game of Thrones) is a millionaire businessman married to Kate (Leslie Mann) and is having simultaneous affairs with Carly (Cameron Diaz) and Amber (Kate Upton). Carly accidentally runs into Kate and both come to the horrible realization that Mark is an cheating reprobate. They meet up with Amber and plot their revenge on him. You can see where this is going. A common issue with modern Hollywood romantic comedies is how to appeal to men and women. Here, the movie tries to incorporate feminist themes but also tries to get men in by casting a hot woman and have a whole scene dedicated to flaunting her shapely body a la Bo Derek. The guys will have to wait until halfway through the movie to see Kate Upton's "famous" bikini scene. So the movie has no idea what kind of audience it wants. All of the characters in this movie are horrible. None of them came across as likable and I wanted them all dead. The acting isn't much better. Diaz clearly phoned in her performance. Anything for a paycheck, I guess. Mann was easily the most annoying person in the whole movie. Upton can't act. All she does is look so perfect all the time and be everything Diaz and Mann are not. Waldau was okay, nothing special. Nicki Minaj was terrible. She plays Diaz's supportive best friend and she constantly talked like she was rapping onstage. I couldn't understand half of what she said. Don Johnson, what are you doing with your life? Even more baffling is that the director is Nick Cassavetes (son of famous actor and filmmaker John Cassavetes). Hollywood has a seriously twisted view of female empowerment. It seems to think that being a strong woman means being just as cruel and spiteful as men. The three female leads decide to punish the guy through public humiliation. If this movie was about three men who get their revenge on a woman the same way, it would have stirred up legitimate controversy. This story could have worked, but Hollywood ruined it with this unpleasant, mean-spirited comedy that paints all men as cheating pigs and all women as shallow, co-dependent halfwits with daddy issues. The Other Woman hurts the cause for female empowerment a whole lot more than it helps.
View Morewhat a waste of time, the plot seemed a good idea, the actresses seemed a good choice, but how anyone can laugh out loud at this garbage is beyond me. All involved must have been working for a pay check, no talent was involved , simply going through the motions , doesn't even make it as a Rom com, over the top acting and a rubbish script.... Cameron Diaz is usually good, but this was below par, the love rat was dreadful and I felt no sympathy for him, but I guess I wasn't supposed to, so that one thing worked in the movie, and now I'm just typing to fill up ten lines so this review is acceptable to IMDb So to summarise, it was rubbish, oh and return to sender is crap too...
