DVD Review: The Other Woman

It’s time to get even! Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment takes girl power to a whole new level with THE OTHER WOMAN, debuting on Blu-ray & DVD July 29. With Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann as the leading ladies and newcomers Kate Upton and Nicki Minaj bringing the jokes left and right, ladies all over better be ready for the perfect movie to end their summer in style!

Cameron Diaz leads a knockout cast in this irreverent comedy about love, lust and the laws of karma. New York attorney Carly Whitten (Diaz) is nobody’s fool. So when she accidentally discovers that her too-good-to-be-true boyfriend Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is married, she’s less than thrilled. Not only that, she and Mark’s wife Kate (Leslie Mann), learn about yet another mistress (Kate Upton)! Before long, however, the betrayed beauties have become unlikely pals who’ve decided to teach their three-timing man a lesson. The more the trio learns about Mark, the worse he seems, and the more fun they have without him! 

With eight deleted scenes, THE OTHER WOMAN Blu-ray™ kicks up the comedy even more! Extras on the Blu-ray and DVD, including a gag reel and “Giggle Fit,” will have you and your girlfriends cracking up for the rest of the summer.

My Thoughts

There's no better choice for a girl's night in than a good movie and a bottle of wine. Fox Home entertainment was nice enough to provide me with both and I settled in with my best friend and some cheese and crackers to enjoy the show. Butterfly Kiss, which is featured several times throughout the film, comes in five crisp varieties and is a delicious wine for conspiring with friends, old and new.

In The Other Woman, Carmen Diaz plays a beautiful lawyer who learns her boyfriend isn't as perfect as he seems. Not only is he married, he has a second mistress of the side.  When these ladies find out they've been betrayed, they don't waste time with cat fights. They join forces to make Mark pay for the stunts he's pulled. What ensues is a hilarious tale of revenge, and in the midst of it, the three girls become fast friends that prove you don't need a man to be happy. 

The Other Woman is a delightful comedy that takes a totally different spin on jilted lovers. I love how the three woman find strength in each other instead of turning to bitterness and anger.  The unique ways they find to get back at Mark are hilarious and combine both witty humor and physical comedy. Though it may be a little unrealistic on some levels, its still fun to see Mark get what he deserves. While most may want to categorize this as a chick flick,  and there are a few sentimental scenes, its actually a film both men and women will enjoy watching together.
