Plot synopsis:
The film starts with Carly Whitten (Cameron Diaz) and Mark King (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) engaging in a one night stand after meeting each other on a blind date. Eight weeks later, they are in a relationship, and Carly is quite happy. Carly, a single career woman, goes to work at a law firm where she tells her friend and secretary Lydia (Nicki Minaj) about the relationship, where Lydia notes that Carly hasn't been with a single man in forever. Little does she know that Mark is married to a chatty and neurotic woman named Kate (Leslie Mann).Mark makes up an excuse to leave town for a few days, telling Carly there's an issue with the plumbing in his house. Carly is upset at this short notice, and she gets into an argument with Mark. He drops her off to have drinks with her dad Frank (Don Johnson), who is seeing a younger woman. He convinces Carly to show up at Mark's place to surprise him. She does so, dressing as a sexy plumber. She walks to his door and is greeted by Kate, who introduces herself as Mark's wife. A stunned Carly stumbles off the steps of the porch and trips backwards, knocking into a giant urn that she breaks.An angry Carly storms into her office the next day and tears up the flowers that Mark left for her. She tells Lydia that he is married, but Lydia suggests this could provide some kind of spice in their lives. Carly is later visited by a distraught Kate, who has a nervous breakdown upon realizing that Carly had slept with Mark multiple times. Despite all of this, Kate continues to find Carly and attempt to bond with her. Eventually, the two become unlikely friends. Kate later takes out her rage by destroying Mark's office with a golf club.Mark comes home and takes Kate out, leading her to feel tempted into sleeping with him. As she's in the bathroom getting herself ready, Mark gets a phone call from another woman. Kate overhears and fakes feeling unwell to not get into sex. The next day, while Kate and her brother Phil (Taylor Kinney) are fixing up the walls, she breaks down and tells him that Carly is probably still having an affair with Mark. She later confronts Carly, who says nothing is happening and she's hurt by the accusation. They figure out that Mark is seeing another woman.The ladies follow Mark to Miami and stay in Phil's beach house as they spy on Mark and his new lady. They find the couple at the beach, and both ladies are shocked to see the new, much younger, and ridiculously hot woman named Amber (Kate Upton). Carly and Kate argue about Mark's change in tastes since both Carly and Kate are in their late 30s, while Amber looks only in her early 20s. Carly runs after Amber as she jogs down the beach, and Kate stops her and the two of them struggle in a cat-fight. Amber sees them fighting in the sand and approaches. Having been caught, Carly and Kate force themselves to tell Amber that she is getting played by Mark. A little later at a parking lot, Amber is also somewhat upset and reveals that she knows who Kate is, claiming that Mark had told her that he was getting divorced, but doesn't know Carly. That evening, all three ladies get together at the beach house where even though they are mad at the same guy, they continue to bond and drink and laugh while Carly starts making a connection with Phil.The next morning, the hung-over Kate says she wants Mark to really hurt, so all three ladies conspire to get the ultimate payback on Mark, utilizing Carly's job as a lawyer, Kate's knowledge of Mark's lifestyle, and Amber's looks to get revenge.Back in New York, Kate starts to mess with Mark by putting hair removal cream in his shampoo and give him loads of estrogen in his smoothies, causing him to grow breasts. Carly meets with Mark on a date, catches him flirting with another woman, and slips laxatives into both his scotch and water. He then shits his pants and has explosive diarrhoea, then gets robbed when trying to get people to get him pants.The ladies consider having one of them take one for the team and sleep with Mark to get more information out of him. They play Rock-Paper-Scissors, leading Amber to decide she'll do it. Things get more complicated when Mark takes Kate out for a romantic dinner with his business partner Nick (David Thornton). She starts to feel romantically connected to Mark, regardless of his adultery. Carly and Amber show Kate the next day a list of companies that Mark has invested in and embezzled money from. Kate doesn't feel the strong drive for revenge as before. Carly exacerbates things by texting Mark to hang out. The ladies walk out on each other.Mark takes Kate to the Bahamas as he plans a business trip. Carly and Amber show up for Kate after Kate has given Carly an envelope with contracts from Mark's businesses, citing Kate as the CEO of the defrauded companies. They follow Mark from a hotel, where he is with yet another woman, whom he takes with him to the bank where he keeps his offshore money.On the day that the ladies plan to make their move, Kate throws her engagement and wedding rings into the ocean. Carly and Amber sit by her side on the beach. They later take her to the bank to resolve the situation.The final showdown comes when Mark is invited to Carly's law firm for a meeting. Lydia guides him to the conference room where Mark is forced to stand face-to-face with all three ladies. Kate immediately says she wants a divorce, but Mark refuses, trying to reel her back in with innocent apologizing. The ladies show Mark that Kate has returned all the money to the defrauded companies, leaving Mark with absolutely nothing while Kate gets the other half of his money. Nick comes in after being told the truth, and he fires Mark. Mark breaks down and loses his shit, throwing the papers everywhere and walking face-first into the glass wall, causing him to bleed. He runs to a computer and sees his bank accounts closed. He walks into a whole glass wall and he ruins his suit. He goes outside the building and sees his car getting towed. He screams in fury, and asks how this can get worse. Frank then comes out and punches Mark in the face, knocking him on his ass.The ladies meet one last time and toast to their friendship. The ending text states that Kate works with Nick now and is the CEO of multiple successful companies. Carly and Phil became a couple and are expecting a kid. Amber starts a relationship with Frank and they travel the globe to keep up with the summer season, though Carly refuses to call her "Mom."

Review: The film stars Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton, Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Kinney.The Movie Plot: After discovering her boyfriend Mark is married, Carly tries to get her ruined life back on track.
Kate Upton isn't the best actress in the world, but no more than she had to act, she did fine, however, the person who made this movie was Leslie Mann.
Leslie Mann was awesome I didn't think he could play such a goofy role :) I recommend this movie to anyone who wants a good laugh and wants to see some ho and talented actresses!!
It becomes obvious that the SOB is only using her for his own good (you will learn what I mean if you watch it) but Kate Upton aka boobs is not introduce until waaaaaaaay later one and shes the young one with not much to say lol ooo and nicki minaj mini role was also a killer for the movie felt like total DIVA CONTROL MOVIE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!.
It was absolutely hilarious and stayed true to it's chick flick roots.Leslie Mann deserves major credit because she is incredibly talented and carried a lot of the movie.
So incredibly impressed was I with the movie that I was even able to alter my personal feelings about Cameron Diaz (I don't know what it is but she annoys me).Be prepared to throw your expectations and sense of reality out of the window for this film.
I figured that it would be fun to watch, because you can't go wrong with Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann as the lead characters...but it exceeded my expectations by like 2-3 stars.
It is made for fun value it offers genuine laughs, good acting a fun and exciting plot and a heart felt feel, it is made to be enjoyed and that is what I did, I enjoyed it, it's only real problem is Niki minaj (sorry if I spelt that wrong) I don't really like her normally but one person that affects the movie so little can not bring down its overall rating I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone looking for a good movie and I would urge you to not be technical with the movie just enjoy it !.
Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton played their roles stupendously and each had their own unique skill to bring into the sisterhood and none were as dumb as one might think.
The Other Woman(2014) Starring:Cameron Diaz,Leslie Mann,Kate Upton,Don Johnson,Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau,Taylor Kinney,Nicki Minaj, Deborah Twiss,Alyshia Ochse,Jennifer Glasgow,and David Thornton Directed By: Nick Cassavetes Review THE ODDEST FRIENDS ARE ABOUT TO GET EVEN You know with a title like this,and the situation that is presented in the film I thought their was going to chick after chick after chick,hence the title of the movie.
The performances are very mediocre from the cast,Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann try to muster what they can but they just come off as not too good but not bad either.
Cameron Diaz was funny, as usual, but Leslie Mann's performance pushed the film from a 6 to an 8.
The Other Woman is an unfunny, bland and messy romantic comedy that still finds itself sunk by its wafer thin characters and other better films that dealt with cheating husbands/boyfriends.
Later on they find out that he is cheating on them both with a younger and more buxom Amber (Kate Upton) so all three women team up for revenge by humiliating him.Just so the audience finds the discomfort that Mark goes through is OK such as pooping in his pants because of secretly added laxatives they also make him someone who is framing his wife to take the rap for his dicey business dealings.A tired, contrived and laboured film..
Lmao,Like seriously i couldn't help but keep giggling throughout it.Cameron Diaz,Leslie Mann and Kate Upton Fabulously played their individual roles and the chemistry between them seriously radiated with the 'true strength of sisterhood ' XD Review wise their seemed to be only two kinna groups for this movie.
Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann were both my favorite actually this movie made me even love them more now and can't wait to act on the same set as these two beautiful women..
I know I did.Thankfully, this movie is not so much about revenge which has been so many times, but rather about the development of the odd friendship between the ladies and their conspiracy towards the man in the film, Mark, played by Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau.Cameron Diaz is actually rather good in her role, and her character Carly's way of dealing with the situation is quite refreshing (trying to just walk away).
Saw The Other Woman starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton, and Nicki Minaj last night at AMC Theatres!
The plot really thickens when "Kate King" played by Leslie Mann discovers her husband "Mark King" played by Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau is not only having an affair with "Carly Whitten" played by Cameron Diaz, but is cheating on both of them with "Amber," played by Kate Upton.I don't get why people cheat, but I've been cheated on and it really does leave your inner-soul with a sense of emptiness!
I feel like she was the best character in the movie.Cameron Diaz did good as the stone cold you know what.
Kate King (Leslie Mann) realizes her husband, Mark King (the accomplished Danish actor Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau of Headhunters and Game of Thrones fame – with a darn good American accent), has been cheating on her with Cameron Diaz.
There are so many funny things they could do but don't, so many missed opportunities, that I found myself feeling more and more frustrated as the movie went on.The friendship between Mann and Diaz feels fake and contrived right from the get go and Kate Upton is essentially a token character as the third woman who adds absolutely nothing to what's going on.There are only a handful of funny moments which really don't save this movie from failing miserably.
As to the character and the actors playing them, I loved it, I thought they were great and what's not to like about a film featuring Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann, two amazing actresses and although I haven't watched allot of Kate Upton's Work I think she did a great job despite not having as big of a script as the other leads.
It's not especially laugh-out loud funny, again, but it mixes slapstick sequences, with sharp wit, and cringe-worthy monologues, courtesy of Leslie Mann, who is hilarious, and yet at times, so embarrassing it is hard to watch.
Grotesque stereotypes are what fuel all the best comedies, and this is no exception.The balance between the three female leads is at times, uneven - Mann gets most of the gags, Diaz is playing essentially an exasperated "Straight Woman" to her incessant stream of breakdowns, and Upton plays perhaps an even more offensive stereotype (very well) of the dumb, sexy blonde.
Whilst she isn't the best actress in the world, Upton's character actually has a lot of potential, which isn't quite fully exploited, when you finally get over the fact that you enjoyed the film better when it was just Diaz and Mann.There are a few moments of rock-bottom crudity, which, depending on your tastes, will make or break the movie for you.
This isn't Upton's fault - she actually has some of the best lines("She's not a whore - She's just a slut"), but there's no denying the film's finest moments are the horribly awkward "Let's be friends" chemistry between Diaz and Mann.
The film comes courtesy of director Nick Cassavetes (whose previous crime against celluloid was 2004's The Notebook) and is intended as a story of female empowerment as one woman (Cameron Diaz) who, upon discovering that her boyfriend is married, teams up with the wife (Leslie Mann) and another secret lover (Kate Upton) to take revenge.The biggest of many, many problems with the film is that it pretends to be a story of female empowerment: I'm not sure if I missed a meeting, but since when has swooning over every male character, getting drunk and being sick into handbags been the mainstay of strong female characters?
The initial promise portrayed by the film's poster (a knuckleduster sporting a wedding ring in place of a spike) is scuppered within the first five minutes.The three leads actresses are incessantly annoying, Diaz sporting a possibly plastic-enhanced smile all the way through, Leslie Mann apparently under the belief that any line of dialogue can be made funnier simply by shouting it, and Kate Upton is there purely for set dressing.
Lawyer Carly Whitten (Cameron Diaz) ends up discovering her seemingly-perfect boyfriend is married; yet, she ends up forming a strange friendship with the wife, Kate (Leslie Mann).
As they find out and end joined by yet another affair, Amber (Kate Upton), the unlikely trio plot a revenge against the cheater while also uncovering his many lies.A very silly sitcom-styled comedy, which tried to sell itself through its stars (Diaz, Mann and Upton), but that's it.
Seeing Mann and Diaz in their scene at Diaz's apartment is cringe-worthy.On the other hand, Kate Upton is incredible to look at, which is already a great addition, and while quite amateurish she has a cuteness that make her likable; she does the ditzy blonde stereotype quite well, though from what I've seen of her she seems to be a bit like that in real life too.
There are a few chuckle-worthy moments, but no real 'laugh out loud' ones, to the point they end up falling back on bathroom/poop jokes to elicit a reaction.Overall, 'The Other Woman' is just another typical chick-flick comedy, the kind you go to see already knowing it will be a silly pastime and far from memorable.
Not starring Natalie Portman, "The Other Woman", sloppily directed by Nick Cassavetes and shockingly written by a woman (I'll get to why this is so shocking in a minute) is a comedy meant to make men look bad, but in the process makes women look substantially worse.Synopsis: Mark King, played by Nickolaj Coaster-Waldau, is a millionaire middle-aged scumbag with a full time job, a wife and numerous mistresses (who all refer to themselves as his girlfriend).
Leslie Mann plays his wife, Kate Upton plays his girlfriend and Cameron Diaz plays his other girlfriend, or the same character she plays in every movie; the seductress who eventually proves that despite her slutty exterior, she is smarter than any man.
But sadly, after a while her efforts come off as aggressively desperate; if anything making us all feel bad that she is putting on a brave face while standing on a sinking ship.Final Thought: Even though every beat of this plot is also in the trailer, even though every time Nicki Minaj spoke (she plays Diaz' secretary) it made me want to kill myself and even though this contains an odd amount of misplaced fecal humor and an ending which logistically made zero sense, there is one deplorable truth here which is absolutely unforgivable.
The trio decides to team-up and plot revenge against Mark."The Other Woman" is an annoying and silly feminist comedy about a cheater and his three women – his wife and two mistresses.
THE OTHER WOMAN is directed by Nick Cassavetes and starring Cameron Diaz (Carly) as a smart and beautiful New York lawyer, who suddenly learns that her monogamous and unmarried boyfriend of eight weeks, Mark (Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau) is in fact happily married.
With Mark's wife Kate (Leslie Mann) together they get their revenge on the two-timing bastard, and they quickly discover yet another affair with the much younger Amber (Kate Upton), so the cheater is actually a three-timing bastard.THE OTHER WOMAN has a brand new screenplay and is also a female buddy movie, but this oft-used theme of women getting even does immediately remind one of Olivia Goldsmith's book and movie called FIRST WIVES CLUB (1996).
With the clever use of music to quickly move the story forward the movie's 109 minutes went by at high speed, and there are many gross shocks and surprises ahead, as the three women royally set up their man.Sports Illustrated model - Kate Upton at 21 years of age- appears to have been cast in her role as the silly bimbo, simply as a result of her upper body size.
We spend the first twenty minutes of this film seeing Cameron Diaz waltz around like the baddest bitch alive then only to succumb to being apart of the supporting cast once Leslie Mann's character is introduced.
So not only do we have a character in Diaz that is relatively unlikable, we also spend the next half hour of the film getting used to Leslie Mann's presence as she takes over the screen as the lead.
The movie is kind of the typical woman revenge film and as a man I didn't know how will I react to it, unless a movie try to shove in your face "girls power" I react to female protagonist no different than a male protagonist and the fact that the villain is male also doesn't bother me unless they try to show all of the men as evil monsters, this movie did a good job (until the last scene with the male) not making it feel like girls power because the women character didn't try to be strong and thought but just make them normal women and when it comes to the male, we do see more males in the film and not all of them are "horrible monsters" like "the villain" some of them are nice, funny and even helping them.
Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann seems trying hard to liven up Carly and Kate's character but horrible and childish script just waste their talent to improve more.
Overall "The Other Woman" is a mess and watching it was completely waste of time, the only reason I could stand seeing this film until the end was Kate Upton.
Kate Upton looked great, but that is all she had to offer in a film where she felt completely lost playing alongside Diaz and Mann.
I wasn't expecting much from this film really, but I didn't think it would be as bad as it was.The Other Woman (or should I say, The Other Women) lacks substance and the funniest scenes for me were the ones borrowed from other comedies I'd seen in the past.
The director of "The Notebook" brings his charm to the romantic comedy film, written by Melissa Stack, who makes her debut in the cinematic world and comes up with great dialogues, funny jokes and some fair ideas about modern day dating policies.The film goes over the subject of cheating with a fine-tooth comb, but nevertheless also covers trust issues, friendships, complicated relationships, heavy drinking, bad decisions, good decisions, revenge, Kate Upton's flawlessness and last, but not least, waxing.
And with all previously mentioned, it stays true to the goal of every comedy movie to make you laugh.Starring Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton, as broken-hearted girls, the three will have you rolling in the aisles almost every minute of the movie, except of one scene with Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau, which I still wonder how it made the final cut.
That movie was so much better than This Means War. Basically, The Other Woman was about Kate (Leslie Mann) finding out that her husband Mark (Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau) has been sleeping with Carly (Cameron Diaz) and they become friends and try to ruin Mark's life.
Leslie Mann and Cameron Diaz had me laughing almost the entire time.
Leslie Mann and Cameron Diaz are so funny apart but they're even more hilarious together.
The Other WomanMarried men have had women on the side since biblical times - just ask Adam's first wife Lilith.And while this comedy is a modern take on infidelity, the scorned wife's retribution is biblical.Carly (Cameron Diaz), a successful lawyer, is stocked by Kate (Leslie Mann), the insecure wife of Mark (Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau), the man Carly has been sleeping with.
This is the worst movie i have seen in a long time and if Leslie Mann is indeed "the queen of comedy in Hollywood" (according to Elle magazine) that just proves women aren't funny!
Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and supermodel Kate Upton star as the three women, out for revenge, and Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau plays the despicable cheater they're seeking vengeance on.
It comes as a surprise to no one that his wife Kate (Leslie Mann) answers the door, but I suppose you have to have something to get a plot like this going.While the two points in the love triangle meeting isn't supposed to be a surprise except to these two women, there are supposed to be other spontaneous moments in the movie.
I guess they thought Cameron Diaz wasn't enough of a reason to draw in male audience members, which makes me feel bad for her actually.Truth be told, there is nothing wrong with Upton's acting in this movie.
I thought she tried too hard to be funny and edgy simultaneously in "Bad Teacher" (2011), but the $100 million that movie ultimately made may have proved me wrong.Leslie Mann has more solid comedy credentials, as demonstrated in her husband Judd Apatow's films.
I'm not really into chick flicks but The revenge part of the movie was hysterical.Leslie Mann impressed me with how funny she is.
Its completely unfunny, the acting is so BAD, this is the worst movie I have ever seen Cameron Diaz create...
The movie involves an adulterer Mark (Nikolaj Coaster-Waldau of Game of Thromes fame) who cheats not 1 or 2 but 3 girls Kate(Leslie Mann), Carly(Cameron Diaz) and Amber(Kate Upton).
Cameron Diaz is pretty much the same character that she is in most of her movies, Leslie Mann's character is sometimes a bit too much during the film; Kate Upton seemed to be there only to be the pretty, younger one.It's an okay film.
