Download The Other Woman Movie.) a witless comedy that forces stars Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann into indecorous displays of physical comedy as they grapple with a contrivance-laden script.
When the movie opens, Diaz’s Carly Whitten, an attorney, is ensconced in an affair with a handsome businessman (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). Carly thinks she’s finally found her soul mate.

It doesn’t take long for Carly to learn that the man for whom she’s scrapped all other relationships is married to a character played by Mann. The script then labors to inform Mann’s Kate that her husband Mark is a serial philanderer and all-around louse.
The twist: Carly and Kate develop an awkward, odd-couple friendship that progresses from one in which Kate drives Carly crazy to one of mutual — if improbable — respect.

Lest the men in the audience become bored with all of this sisterly solidarity, Melissa Stack’s screenplay introduces another mistress, a bombshell played by model Kate Upton, who nicely fills out a swimsuit, as she did in the recent Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
Upton’s playing a character named Amber, and director Nick Cassavetes takes as much advantage of her pulchritudinous glow as possible. Mann overdoes Kate’s whining to the point where it becomes abrasive: Diaz soldiers on as best she can, playing the savviest woman of this trio, a lawyer who is never shown practicing law.

I suppose it’s necessary to point out that Don Johnson (remember him?) makes a brief appearance as Carly’s pleasure-seeking father, and that a lively Niki Minaj portrays Carly’s secretary.

What begins as a smoothly oiled romantic comedy quickly morphs into a clattery, grinding screwball contrivance. The suave Connecticut venture capitalist Mark King (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) begins an affair with the New York corporate lawyer Carly Whitten (Cameron Diaz) but neglects to mention that he’s married. When she chances to meet his wife, Kate (Leslie Mann), the two women bond over his duplicity and team up to catch him in other extramarital pursuits.

The essential shift in the story is from verbal jousting to physical confrontation; unfortunately, the director, Nick Cassavetes, has no feel for either one, confining Mann’s pinball-pinging comic ricochets to metronomic lockstep and packaging Diaz’s blithe composure in a blithering rictus.
A glimmer of substance peeks through when the lawyer helps the suburban princess get her head out of the clouds, her feet on the ground, and her eye on the bank account, but it’s quickly smothered in other noxious fantasies, and the underlying erotic challenge—whether a total dick is better in bed—remains unmet. With Kate Upton, as another other woman; Taylor Kinney, as a hunky Mr. Nice Guy; and Don Johnson, as Carly’s father on the prowl.
