The Other Woman (2014)

Can't imagine why she got the role
 
Three Woman Carly (Cameron Diaz-funny), Kate (Leslie Mann-annoying) and Amber (Kate Upton-DING! DING!) find out they are being cheated on by the same man, successful business man Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) they befriend each other and hatch a plan to get revenge.

Slightly similar to 80's Dolly Pardon fluff "9-5", 'The Other Woman" biggest problem is that it takes a long time for it to get going, once the three leads get together to plot their revenge it's fairly amusing and likeable, Diaz is always good value in a comedy role, Mann though overacts to the point of annoyance for the first half of the movie with her tiresome drunk routine, though the producers hit +11 with the addition of model Kate Upton to keep the male contingent interested (first scene? slow-mo in a bikini!!)

Predictable fluffy nonsense but fairly entertaining.
