Bette
Midler, Goldie Hawn and Dianne Keaton in “The First Wife’s Club” and
Jane Fonda, Lilly Tomlin and Dolly Parton in “9 To 5” all did it better
and with less vulgarities.

“The Other Woman” once again show that
women can be as base, vulgar, rude and crude as men can be in films.
This kind of film always make me think of teenage boys giggling at
vomit, dogs poop, men having diarrhea or walking through glass walls and
it all happens here.

Carly (Cameron Diaz), supposedly a very
smart upscale lawyer , is having an affair with Mark (Nikolaj
Coster-Waldau) who after two months, trying to surprise him, finds out
that he is married to Kate (Leslie Mann), a real ditsy character who
turns out to be the smartest of all though that isn’t believable! Kate
reaches out to Carly and bogs the movie down with childish antics until
they find out that Mark is cheating on both of them with Amber (Kate
Upton) a young, blond, big boob gal who finds out that Mark is cheating
on her and the three decide to ‘get’ Mark. It is then that the real
vulgarity of the screenplay, by Melissa K. Stack, kicks in and all the
slapstick ‘comedy’ comes to a head.

In a film where the only
character, Phil (Taylor Kinney), Kate’s good looking single brother, who
doesn’t curse, doesn’t anything vulgar and is talented is also the only
person in the film not into games. Don Johnson is unrecognizable as
Carly’s 5 times married father. Nick Cassavetes direction is all over
the map, uneven and what looks like no stated purpose.

I am still trying to understand how Cameron Diaz became one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood.

In all fairness I will say many in the audience were laughing quite often.
