The Other Woman is a 2014 American romantic comedy film directed by Nick Cassavetes and written by Melissa Stack. The film topbills  Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Kinney and Don Johnson. It was distributed internationally by 20th Century Fox and it managed to top the US box office on its first day of release. The Other Woman is a story of a woman discovering that her boyfriend is married, then who soon meets his wife. And when yet another love affair is discovered, all three women team up to plot revenge on the three-timing S.O.B.

The story goes like this: Kate is married to Mike and thinks he's a great guy. But in reality he's seeing another woman, Carly who doesn't know he's married. When he tells Kate he has to meet a client and won't come home when in reality he's planning to see Carly. But when Kate says she'll go join him. He tells her he'll cancel the meeting. So he tells Carly he has to take care of something at home. Carly then decides to go surprise him but runs into Kate and she freaks out and walks away. Kate later tracks Carly down and asks her if she and her husband are involved. She reluctantly admits it. And Kate has a breakdown of her own. They later get close and Kate is uncertain of what to do. When Mike comes on to her she thinks there's hope. But she overhears him talking to someone and she thinks it's Carly but she denies it. So they follow him and discover that he's seeing another girl and when they tell her about him, they decide to get back at him. 

The Other Woman is of romance and comedy genre, which runs for approximately 109 minutes. It's rated PG-13 in most countries for mature thematic material, sexual references, and language. This movie is perhaps very relatable to many as it dives into the issue of extra-marital affair, which is quite common in our society. But what makes this film different is that the women here, who are supposed to be victims, drew strength from one another to avenge themselves against the antagonist. While this kind of"girl power" is laudable, it's quite unlikely to happen in reality. In general, the film was very entertaining and funny, with a few dragging and confusing scenes. I highly recommend this to everyone especially to those who want to see Cameron Diaz's gorgeous gams, Nicki Minaj's bootylicious behind, and Kate Upton's twins. No kidding, you'll be entertained. The film is available in 2D and Dolby Digital.

RATING: 4.5 out of 5 STARS
