<\/i><\/b>By Sandra Olmsted<\/b><\/p>\n

Director Nick Cassavetes teams up again with Cameron Diaz this time for a revenge comedy that offers three often scantily clad female leads — Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton — and neatly scripted madcap comedy deftly directed. First time screenwriter Melissa Stack provides a solid backbone for the comedy and plenty of comic moments for Cassavetes to bring to life.<\/p>\n

Diaz plays Carly Whitten, a high-powered lawyer who has finally found love with Mark (Danish-born Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), a start-up entrepreneur, until she meets his wife, Kate (Leslie Mann).<\/p>\n

\"3<\/a>
3 who become friends after learning they are all involved with the same man.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although Carly now wants nothing to do with \u201cthe Mark situation\u201d because she doesn\u2019t believe in wreaking marriages, the distraught Kate shows up at Carly\u2019s office. After making a huge scene until Carly agrees to talk, Kate stalks Carly in a comic way, repeatedly showing up unexpectedly at Carly\u2019s work and home.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Carly offers lawyerly advice for Kate to decide what she wants, \u201cget her ducks in a row,\u201d and divorce Mark, if that\u2019s what she wants. Kate vacillates because she wanted the life she was promised, a husband, house in the \u2018burbs, kids, and financial security, but eventually wants to make Mark hurt the way she hurts.<\/p>\n

The desperate Kate can\u2019t talk to any of her friends in her Connecticut suburb because they will \u201cblab.\u201d As Carly and Kate slowly bond, Carly realizes she should help Kate get revenge, especially when they discover that Mark is \u201ccheating on them both\u201d with the naive Amber (Kate Upton), who turns out to not know that her \u201csoul mate\u201d is a heel.<\/p>\n

Kate, who comes off initially as a ditzy housewife, blossoms into a force to be reckoned with, and Mark doesn\u2019t stand a chance being triple teamed by smart, beautiful women who aren\u2019t above fighting dirty. With Amber\u2019s help, they unlock his phone and discover an even more despicable side to him, which Carly might know how to exploit for Kate\u2019s benefit and Mark\u2019s ruin.<\/p>\n

For everyone who has been lied to, cheated on, and\/or betrayed, The Other Woman<\/i> offers a fantasy of revenge, and Cassavetes wraps it neatly in delicious slapstick and well-timed wit. The music even plays a humorous role, such as the use of the Mission Impossible<\/i> theme song during one of the capers to spy on Mark, and New York City and New England look great thanks to Robert Fraisse\u2019s cinematography.<\/p>\n

While there are places in The Other Woman<\/i> that could use a little suspense about whether the Gal Pals will succeed at getting even with Mark, the script\u2019s dialogue is believable and the women characters sympathetic because they have genuine emotional responses. Diaz\u2019s Carly hurts and fears she\u2019ll never find anyone while Mann\u2019s Kate, despite the slapstick silliness, rightly feels confused, hurt, and hopeful.<\/p>\n

Diaz again proves her range and gift for comic timing, switching easily from serious moments to the slapstick and witty lines, as does Mann, whose performance is delightful silliness. Upton good-naturedly stand there looking gorgeous as needed, but does show acting ability in the few scenes requiring she actually do something.<\/p>\n

While the often over-the-top humor is often unrealistic, the acting allows the viewer to relate to the characters and enjoy the silliness and wit. Coster-Waldau infuses Mark with the right amounts of sleaze and charm. Don Johnson as Carly\u2019s father Frank, Taylor Kinney as Kate\u2019s handsome brother Phil, and Nicki Minaj as Carly\u2019s outspoken secretary Lydia round out the cast with humor, grace, and good looks.<\/p>\n

The Other Woman<\/i>, a Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation release, is in theaters starting April 25, and this adult comedy provides great laughs and a pleasurable escape because, regardless of gender, the audience can enjoy this comedy. The Other Woman<\/i> is rated PG-13 on appeal for mature thematic material, sexual references and language and runs 109 minutes.
