Audiences looking for a nonstop laugh riot may be disappointed, but the big laughs are there, and they benefit from the movie's underlying sincerity. Read full review

Michael Phillips

Written by newcomer Melissa K. Stack, The Other Woman offers roughly equal parts wit and witlessness, casual smarts and jokes, lingering and detailed, regarding explosive bowel movements. Based on that ratio, I'd say the screenwriter's future in Hollywood looks pretty good. Read full review

Instead of updating the genre, The Other Woman rehashes it, bringing little more than a few giggles and a dash of glamour to the table. Read full review

Slyness, slapstick and sex can often be mixed to amusing effect whatever the specifics — the original "Hangover," for example, did a credible job of it — but The Other Woman is ultimately undone by its indecision. Read full review

A few lowbrow laughs… but far too many one-note characters, performances, and plot points to make them worth showing up for. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

Although The Other Woman nibbles around the edges of revealing truths about relationships, it leaves most of that potential behind, instead pursuing easy, exhausted cliches about zip-less marriages, upper class suburban drudgery, cynical careerism and dumb-but-sweet blondes. Read full review

Apr 24, 2014

So instead of the rom-com, we now have the “non-com.” The cardboard characters and predictable rhythms remain. But this time, we get all the comic cliches with none of the romance. Read full review

Great, fun film (even if the plot has been done different ways numerous times already). Surprisingly Nicki Minaj's small role as Diaz's assistant is a scene stealer. I wish that she had played a bigger role.

The Other Woman is a hilarious movie that also has a really beautiful message about finding who you are on your own and finding strength on your own and woman empowerment. The performances from Leslie Mann, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Cameron Diaz, Taylor Kinney, and Nicki Minaj are outstanding.The Other Woman is a hilarious movie that also has a really beautiful message about finding who you are on your own and finding strength on your own and woman empowerment. The performances from Leslie Mann, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Cameron Diaz, Taylor Kinney, and Nicki Minaj are outstanding. The chemistry between Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz, and Kate Upton is stupendous. The writing is great, it was funny and touching. The makeup and hairstyling is superb especially on Nicki Minaj, Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz, Kate Upton, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. The costumes are fantastic especially on Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and Nicki Minaj. This is one of my favorite movies of all time and an A+ comedy.… Expand

Boring, decent ending though.

'The Other Woman' just failed to entertain me for practically 90-95 minutes, with only the final few minutes sticking out in my memory; even a short time since watching it. Cast-wise it's solid. Cameron Diaz (Carly) would be the one who I'd class as the mostBoring, decent ending though.

Cast-wise it's solid. Cameron Diaz (Carly) would be the one who I'd class as the most standout, closely followed by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Mark). I like Leslie Mann, while Kate Upton (Amber) and Nicki Minaj (Lydia) are serviceable if not all that good in their more minor roles. Don Johnson (Frank) appears, also.

Too uneventful, in short.… Expand

Oof, this film was a mission. Not only was Leslie Mann's acting probably some of the worst I've ever seen, I couldn't believe that three terrible women could be so gullible as to fall for an even worse man. I have to say I'd rather watch Bride Wars than this clunker.

I think the creators of this film just wanted to show off the expensive beach house locations they paid for. Unfunny, sexist waste of Leslie Mann's talent. I think this is the only time i have been on the side of the cheater - he was the only character who wasn't an insufferable idiot.
