The Other Woman

No one knows which takes are funny and which aren’t. More than once, all three women, especially poor Upton, are caught looking like they don...

So dumb, lazy, clumsily assembled and unoriginal, it could crush any actor forced to execute its leaden slapstick gags and mouth its crude, humorle...

It would have helped if director Nick Cassavetes had something resembling a sure hand at comedy.

It would nice to be able to declare that this women-on-top revenge comedy presents a sparky gender-role inversion, but instead it just trots o...

A coarse, rickety comedy.

Everything in this movie is overcooked and pushed far beyond its power to amuse. In the end, it becomes a screeching bore.

Hollywood 1 - 0 Bechdel.

The lack of originality isn’t what’s most troubling about the film, written by Melissa Stack. Worse is the notion that none of these wo...

In this battle-of-the-sexes comedy, neither sex feels very real, which may be why there’s so little to laugh about.

Mann and Diaz give it their all, and you can see how they might be a good comic team with better material, Mann a goofy foil to Diaz&rsqu...

The film is clearly wary of either being too saccharine or taking itself--or the notion of compulsive infidelity--too seriously, though its schaden...

Rather than upgrading the much-maligned "chick flick" genre with creativity and wit, the makers of "The Other Woman" have simply repackaged it.

A conceptually odious, stupid-to-the-bone enterprise …

All of a sudden, a spotted Great Dane squats in the middle of a Manhattan apartment and out plop several gleaming, glistening CGI turds...

Soggy, haphazard, poorly paced slapstick mansplained by director Nick Cassavetes from a script by Melissa Stack.

My advice to guys? Step away from the vehicle, because "The Other Woman" is out of control and intent on running down a certain kind of male.

The only thing missing from this steaming casserole, in fact, is the one crucial ingredient: A sense of humor.

The plotting is predictable, the cameo from Nicki Minaj is pointless and some of the humour is sadistic in the extreme, but the film yields at leas...

While "The Other Woman" raises some thoughtful questions about independence, identity and the importance of sisterhood, ultimately it would rather...

The vapid story – and its intended humor – meanders and loses its way in predictable sit-com style.

Echoes with so many bum notes that you leave the cinema desperate for an ice pack and a dark room.

The director’s lack of subtlety extends to the selection of music used on the soundtrack; [like] the theme from Mission: Impossible and that...

Has it come to this for director Nick Cassavetes?

Granted, femme-centered film comedies are a thing to cherish, but The Other Woman only gets it half right.

By the end, the film has become a nasty cad in itself, suckering its own characters into nothing but doling out and receiving ritual humiliation.

The only clichs missing to complete the set are the funny gay friend and the meddling mom, but the studio is probably saving them for The Other Wom...

In its portrayal of female friendship, the film relies on dated clichs … The sad thing is, I doubt that the trio would have become friends in the f...

You can’t shake the feeling that in a just world, all these women – even Kate Upton – would have better material than this.

A slapstick, glossy fantasy …

Thank goodness for Leslie Mann.

Practically every gag in this movie, and there are scores of them, is milked dry. When the gags aren’t very good to begin to with, this is&nb...

What begins as a smoothly oiled romantic comedy quickly morphs into a clattery, grinding screwball contrivance.
