The Other Woman movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Wesley Morris, Grantland: 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't know what they're doing. Read more
Sara Stewart, New York Post: 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's savvy urbanite. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: "The Other Woman" plays like "The First Wives Club" crossed with an exceptionally well-groomed female version of "The Hangover" - which is to say, there's not much to it, but it's featherweight fun while it lasts. Read more
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine: All three women are less watchable and amusing than Nicki Minaj as Carly's legal assistant Lydia. Read more
Justin Chang, Variety: Beneath the wobbly pratfalls and the scatological setpieces, there's no denying the film's mean-spirited kick, or its more-than-passing interest in what makes its women tick. Read more
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, AV Club: All of a sudden, a spotted Great Dane squats in the middle of a Manhattan apartment and out plop several gleaming, glistening CGI turds. It's one of those cases where a Hollywood movie inadvertently summarizes itself in a single shot. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: 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 women is strong enough to handle the situation by themselves. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: It's "The First Wives Club" rewritten for younger, less demanding audiences, or a "9 to 5" with absolutely nothing at stake. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: Line to line, it's fresher than any number of guy-centric "Hangover"-spawned affairs, despite director Cassavetes' lack of flair for slapstick. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: 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 a prescription for disaster. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Granted it would be nice to have a ladies' night out at the multiplex, but no one need be this desperate. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter: It would have helped if director Nick Cassavetes had something resembling a sure hand at comedy. Read more
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: 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. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Goofy, ridiculous, with more gross-out humor than is strictly necessary but still funny. It falls into the category of Girlfriend Films - as in, go with your girlfriends and leave your date/partner/spouse at home with the PlayStation or the NBA playoffs. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: In this battle-of-the-sexes comedy, neither sex feels very real, which may be why there's so little to laugh about. Read more
Richard Brody, New Yorker: What begins as a smoothly oiled romantic comedy quickly morphs into a clattery, grinding screwball contrivance. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: The only thing missing from this steaming casserole, in fact, is the one crucial ingredient: A sense of humor. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Rather than upgrading the much-maligned "chick flick" genre with creativity and wit, the makers of "The Other Woman" have simply repackaged it. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: So dumb, lazy, clumsily assembled and unoriginal, it could crush any actor forced to execute its leaden slapstick gags and mouth its crude, humorless dialogue. Read more
Michael Sragow, Orange County Register: A coarse, rickety comedy. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: Thank goodness for Leslie Mann. Read more
Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com: Brutal. Read more
Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com: While "The Other Woman" raises some thoughtful questions about independence, identity and the importance of sisterhood, ultimately it would rather poop on them and then throw them through a window in hopes of the getting the big laugh. Read more
Noah Berlatsky, Salon.com: For all its faults, there is a kind of genius in the way that it takes the rom-com raison d'etre - the desire to see two lovable people fall in love with each other - and diverts it for its own purposes. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Audiences looking for a nonstop laugh riot may be disappointed, but the big laughs are there, and they benefit from the movie's underlying sincerity. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: It's an escapist women's empowerment comedy like many others, but elevated by the simple virtue of being, for most of its length, very, very funny. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: This is more "feminish" than feminist, but arguably a tottering stiletto-heeled step forward. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: The only cliches missing to complete the set are the funny gay friend and the meddling mom, but the studio is probably saving them for The Other Woman 2. Read more
Anna Smith, Time Out: There's a strong whiff of The First Wives Club and an even a sprinkling of Working Girl here - but instead of updating the genre, The Other Woman rehashes it. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: The vapid story -- and its intended humor -- meanders and loses its way in predictable sit-com style. Read more
Jake Coyle, Associated Press: Cassavetes seemingly tries to sap any energy that Mann and Diaz give the film. Any time music kicks in, terrible filmmaking results, usually in montage form. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Village Voice: The Other Woman doesn't give these actresses much to do except look ridiculous, if not sneaky and conniving. Read more
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture: You can't shake the feeling that in a just world, all these women - even Kate Upton - would have better material than this. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: A movie as generic and forgettable as the sofa-size art on its characters' walls. Read more
