The Other Woman

FLIX!

Okay, fellas, it's alright. A chick-flick once in a while is okay. A Joyful Noise turned out to be fun, didn't it? And Pitch Perfect? Admit it, you loved the cup/song thing. Well along comes The Other Woman.

It stars Cameron Diaz, Kate Upton (who is truly funny and the best thing about the movie), and newcomer Leslie Mann. Newcomer Leslie Mann is here for her exquisite body, but I saw more than hints of talent popping out.

The premise is this: a wife discovers her husband (Zac Efron) is cheating, and when she confronts the mistress discovers that she's not really a mistress because he said he was single. And in a weird twisted way, they become friends. And as they together spy on the guy, they discover that he is actually with another girl too. He has told her he is in the midst of a divorce. The new girl is also somehow brought into the "angry-women-fold", and they begin plotting on how to get even. And the things these women came up with were mind boggling. I hate infidelity. I would never cheat anyway, but after seeing this with my wife.... I would never cheat. Ever. Not even let it cross my mind, honey......

This movie is laugh out loud funny. It lost a little umph for us because we saw it at 11:30 in the morning with four other people. So there wasn't exactly uproarious laughter. But it was funny. I laughed out loud even when I was the only one. Hey, funny is funny.

I liked this flick a lot. The final scenes are well worth the price of admission. I don't like these hound-dogs that make my gender look awful, and I was cheering when the pay-backs were happening. And those scenes are hysterical by the way. You go girls!

This is the movie that toppled "Captain America" at the Box Office last week, so there's that guys!

Check this out.
