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
