Critics Consensus

The Other Woman definitely boasts a talented pedigree, but all that skill is never fully brought to bear on a story that settles for cheap laughs instead of reaching its empowering potential.

I don't demand a great deal from a glossy Hollywood comedy, but it would be nice to find a smarter, more original piece of work than this in the year 2014.

The New Yorker

What begins as a smoothly oiled romantic comedy quickly morphs into a clattery, grinding screwball contrivance.

Sydney Morning Herald

Everything in this movie is overcooked and pushed far beyond its power to amuse. In the end, it becomes a screeching bore.

Rated: 2.5/5

It’s done as well as this story can be, and Don Johnson of Miami Vice is perfectly cast as Diaz’s father.

Epoch Times

A fairly hilarious womance showcasing Leslie Mann, whose comedic forte is wallowing in humiliation. Good stuff. She also plays a mean drunk. It's surprising there wasn't an explosion of movies in the wake of "The Other Woman," featuring her.

Rated: 3/5

Love this film. One of my favourite comedies. Maybe its cliched and offers "cheap laughs" but on this particular case - its a plus. Actors performances were on point!

Honestly this movie is SOOO underrates. It shows women coming together regardless of how they met and the Circumstances. As well as many women have been in situations like this, so it is very relatable. Great cast, great movie. Deserves more props. And the ones that don’t like it have a specific type of category/genre they like…and this obviously isn’t it. MUST WATCH. Plus, who doesn’t love Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and Kate Upton? Not to mention Nicki Minaj.
