After watching the trailer for "The Other Woman" it seemed to be another film summed up in two minutes that resembled Betty Thomas' superbly brilliant "John Tucker Must Die" (2006). Having walked into the cinema with the premonition that it would be the adult version of a teenage feel-good flick I was, actually, pleasantly surprised -though, not wrong.
Despite many films such as "The First Wives Club" and the fore-mentioned "John Tucker Must Die" being obvious influences on the script, the film channels aspects of every woman's life and combines them to create the ultimate revenge for the ultimate cheating misogynist. Yes, of course, the story has been done before -as has every single chick flick story in the history of cinematography- but that does not take away from "The Other Woman" being a man and a woman's feel good comedy. Packed with one liners, witty jokes, beautiful locations and hilarious protagonists the film is heart-warming and highlights the importance of friendship, love and sisterhood.
A very entertaining film.
