However, what happens when you take a man’s fidelity to the extreme and have him not only cheating on his wife, but also his mistress as well? Well this is what happens in the new film The Other Woman where the plot follows three women who have all ended up in the same relationship with the same man and take it upon themselves to ruin his life as revenge for playing all of them.
In this short clip, we are shown the three women getting to know one another after it comes to light about how they are all connected. Whilst it may be short it gives us an insight into how each of the characters are going to be portrayed throughout the movie. There seems to be some decent characterisation, even in this tiny extract and Diaz’s reaction to the “it’s just sweat” comment made me laugh more than the actual joke itself.
The overall tone of the film seems very reminiscent of The First Wives Club and I mean that in the best possible way, it will be nice to see the interaction between three very different women who are all facing the same problem, although for the three in The Other Woman everything is a lot closer to home for them! Some may just want to write this film off before giving it a chance, but from the early clips it looks like this film may be a lot of fun.
