Strong and Moving!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

There is simply too much going on here. A part-time journalism teacher is married to a high-powered attorney. A young law intern is cunning, sly and vicious. She is really going after the attorney. She even has the audacity to tell the wife that she will marry her husband. To add to this mess, our wife took the attorney away from his first wife. They had a 16 year old who is plenty to handle.If this isn't enough, our lawyer works for a fat, balding man who has an eye on the intern as well. His wife is best friend with our attorney's second wife. When the boss turns up dead, his wife reveals 30 years of abuse and she is the killer!The ending is a real surprise. Since when does that intern, a vicious tramp, wind up with our hero. I guess the film is trying to depict various kind of abuses, but what a poor job it does.

The problem with this movie is it didn't follow the book too well. The point of the book was that Nicole was so brazen, to just walk up to the wife and say she was going to steal the husband. And, when the wife told the husband, he was laughing about it, and she thought "Damn, he's interested." This movie had all the stalking and breaking and entering garbage. It just wasn't a book about that kind of thing... it was about knowing you were married to a man that would cheat because he had cheated with you. I also thought that the two women were somewhat reversed. Jill was sort of plain in the book, or at least felt plain. And Nicole was beautiful... trampy.. but truly beautiful. A young Vanessa Marcil. Not that thing in the movie. And Josie B. was too glamorous. I wanted to like this, because the book is really quite good.The trial Derek won was the trial he was involved in that we never really got to see much of. It is not a trial of the women married to his senior partner.Oh, and also the book never had the love interest for Jill. That wasn't what it was about.

This movie irritated me quite a lot. Plot is so familiar you guess the ending in the first few minutes. And the leading lady, played by Josie Bisset was as annoying to watch. Wearing so tight jeans you could see her, you know what. Blouses so low it revealed, well not that much. And walking around wearing the same outfit almost throughout the movie. But the real problem is her hair. Most of the times you wanted to hand her a hair brush and tell her to brush her hair out of her face. She looked unkempt, almost dirty. Even when her hair was pulled back, seldom, there were strings hanging down in her face. Most of the time her bleached blonde hair was over one eye giving her a Hitler like look. It annoyed me that much. This lady needs grooming badly. Lisa Marie was another to much hair actress, if you want to call waking around pouting most of the time acting. Too much hair for someone her age. That lady needed a haircut. And poor Jason Proestley, whom I like as an actor, didn't have much to work with, script or actresses.This was a loser film with loser performances and women that should act and look their age. GET SOME GROOMING AND BRUSH YOUR HAIR OUT OF YOUR FACE.

i watched the TV movie: the other woman last night. i wanted to see the names of the actors that played in it. when i looked on the internet movie data base, i noticed that it didn't have the names of some of the actors such as: Derek, Stan, and Stan's wife. how come? the outcome of the trial says that Derek won the case. does that mean that Stan's wife got the death penalty, or did she get life imprisionment? whatever happened regarding her son Cole? what happened to Jill? did Jill and her former friend start seeing each other again? it looks like this movie could have had another 30 minutes to it in order to answer all my questions huh? joy fielding, could you help me out with these questions, and does your novel have more of an complete picture of the movie that was on TV? thanks.
