The Other Woman

Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann make for a bubbly double act in this comedy pitched squarely at the fizzy-wine crowd. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is the man who inadvertently brings the pair together, initially at loggerheads, when it becomes apparent that he's dating Diaz despite being married to Mann. They aren't the only women in his life, either, but Kate Upton proves to be a bit of a gooseberry as the third conspirator in a sketchily plotted mission to bring the love rat to his knees. Despite taking top billing, Diaz generously allows Mann to shine in a slapstick turn that finds her character swinging between grief and rage like a drunken ninja. Director Nick Cassavetes (The Notebook, My Sister's Keeper) is certainly guilty of dragging out the action and overcooking the finale, but this all makes for good naughty fun, nonetheless.
