Die Schadenfreundinnen

Honestly, this was fine for what it was advertised as: a fun romp just for laughs. If you're looking for something that will awe you with its awesome-ness, you're looking for the wrong movie.

I've read a lot of the negative reviews. Yes, the man is a POS and quite frankly not very fleshed out other than the fact that he's a terrible guy. Diaz was a little unappealing as the bitch lawyer and perhaps Kate Upton's acting does leave something to be desired. But honestly, no matter what the poster or some of the movie might suggest, this movie seems to me like it centered around Mann's character finding her way after everything in her life goes to hell. And for that, I think it did fine.

This movie was funny. I saw it with my girlfriend and was dreading but surprisingly it was pretty good. Cameron Diaz still has it going on and the girl who played the main actress was really funny. The only bad thing I can say is Taylor Kinney cannot act to save his life. He's one of the worst actors I've ever seen. Painful to watch. I guess looks are everything in Hollywood. On the up side of things the main actor was really good and it was a pleasant surprise to see Don Johnson. It was neat seeing how the two main women switched roles and one became more loving and the other became ore independent. It was a cute movie overall and I would recommend it. Like I said Lady Gaga's boyfriend should really stick to acting in her videos because that way he doesn't have to speak and show that he cannot act.

Just watched this with my movie theatre-working friend. We both enjoyed this comedy about three women getting revenge on one man. There's his wife (Leslie Mann), his paramour (Cameron Diaz) who ends it after finding out about that wife, and the younger paramour (Kate Upton) who finds out from the previous two. Quite hilarious we both found this and nice team-up on those three. Oh, and Don Johnson appears as the father of one of those three. When his name appeared on screen, my friend says he didn't know he was in it which then made me mention that "Miami Vice" was nearly 30 years ago (though neither of us watched it much since "Dallas" was on at the same time) which then reminded us of our age especially when I then pointed out to him the placement of a couple of songs from that era as well when they were played (A cover version of Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield" and Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun"). Anyway, in summary, we both found The Other Woman a lot of fun.

This film was chosen by someone else. I went along for the ride, not expecting much, as I am not a big Cameron Diaz fan. But, I have to say, that I laughed as loud as anyone else in the movie theater. It was so funny, and entertaining. Sure, there were moments when you thought - hey this doesn't make any sense, but if you park reality at the door, and just sit and enjoy the hilarity of the situation and the characters, it was pretty entertaining. I left the theater satisfied that my movie dollars were well spent for a couple of hours of diversion from life's troubles. I reckon that this film will not win many awards, but I enjoyed it more than Bridesmaids. So, if you are looking for a great chick flick, this is a good one.

This is exactly what it advertises itself to be. At least that was refreshing. It's completely mindless and almost every single character is either extremely shallow or irritating and often both.

As badly as this is written, somehow Leslie Mann makes it work for her character. She manages to make the viewer actually care about her somehow. She simply puts it all on the table and her boldness mixed with her charm manages to rise above awful material. The rest of the cast is, frankly, terrible. The cheating husband is such a dumb cartoon character. Cameron Diaz has grown genuinely unpalatable. Kate Upton tried her gorgeous best but it's clear even the director had to try and cut around her acting shortcomings. I smell a few Razzie nominations for this mess.
