The Other Woman
Oh man, it feels like I haven't posted an entry in forever! Even though, I'm sure I did so last week. Things have been so slow-going since this last school year ended. I actually had been gradually shifting my sleeping schedule farther and farther, so I was up all night last night. Now I should be tired at the appropriate time and will go to bed at said time! Anyway, on to why you came to this blog...
I had been told before seeing this film that "[I'd] love it!" and "it's so funny!" (quoted directly from 2 friends of mine), and they were indeed correct. I absolutely loved this movie! Leslie Mann is freaking hilarious as Kate! Paired with Carly Whitten (Carmeron Diaz), they make the perfect comedy duo! I'd say this was entertaining enough for even a man to enjoy (and admit to said enjoyment!). The dialogue was brilliant, in my opinion, and the plot was great. About a third of the way through, however, I did start to wonder when the two leading ladies would team up. The character building did seem to take a bit longer than I had anticipated, but it worked out in the end. The humour was rich and kept me laughing well after the gag had ended (just ask those who happened to be in the theatre with me). This is the best comedy I've seen this year. I may even add it to my List Of Favorites, which I will share at the end of this year. This would be a great date-night kind of movie!
I give The Other Woman an 8 out of 10.
