Critic Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle

Apr 24, 2014

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

Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips

Apr 24, 2014

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

Time Out London - Anna Smith

Apr 22, 2014

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

Los Angeles Times - Betsy Sharkey

Apr 24, 2014

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

Total Film - James Mottram

Apr 28, 2014

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

Washington Post - Ann Hornaday

Apr 24, 2014

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

New York Daily News - Elizabeth Weitzman

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.

This a great feel good movie. It improves with every viewing. Addresses issues close to us all in an uplifting and positive way.

The director of "The Notebook" brings his charm to the romantic comedy film, written by Melissa Stack, who makes her debut in the cinematic world and comes up with great dialogues, funny jokes and some fair ideas about modern day dating policies.

The film goes over the subject of cheating with a fine-tooth comb, but nevertheless also covers trust issues, friendships, complicated relationships, heavy drinking, bad decisions, good decisions, revenge, Kate Upton’s flawlessness and last, but not least, waxing. And with all previously mentioned, it stays true to the goal of every comedy movie… to make you laugh.

This is by far one of the worst movies of the year if not further.I don't know why they chose Kate Upton for this role,probably just to show her body on the beach and unfortunately and unexpectedly Leslie Mann does a terrible job at portraying her character Kate.
Do not watch this movie if you are lucky enough to haven't yet because it's not worth it.… Expand

The story of a wife and mistress getting revenge on a cheating husband is full of possibilities which are unfortunately squandered here.

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.
