The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
... View MoreGreat story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreI endured it for two reasons, and only because of them I'm giving it a 5 out of 10: The hot guy who plays Jamie Lanister; and the ladies clothes... Superb! The movie itself, not so much... Leslie Mann as the deceived wife is extremely annoying and gross; up to the point that I thought the movie was going to be about her realization of how unpleasantness is not the best way to keep your husband's love. A number of dubiously original or amusing gags ensue to her discovery of 'the other woman' - aka Cameron Diaz in a refreshingly mature and sedated role-; including dipping the husband's toothbrush in urine and mixing his food with copious amounts of estrogen AND a laxative; which in my book classifies at attempt poisoning and not just an amusing way of getting payback. It takes a really bad movie to make a feminist like me kinda empathize with a cheating man; this one achieved it!
... View MoreDressed up as a comedy movie, the narrative surrounds three grown adult women who attempt to resolve an affair by playing childish pranks and eventually driving the man to self harm and bankruptcy.Instead of speaking with the cheating husband about the affairs, our female protagonists think it funny to... Involuntarily alter his body by overdosing his drinks with female hormones.Dilute his shampoo with hair removing cream, causing him to lose his hair.Flush his toothbrush in the toilet...Pour dangerous amounts of laxative into his drink at a restaurant.Have a drag queen sexually assault him without consent.All the while, the women are portrayed as strong supportive characters, with a cringey slow-motion beach shot where they all hold each other as if to say 'yeah girl power! we're all in this cruel vendetta until the end!'.After the slew of assaults upon his person, they climax by confronting him, causing him to have a nervous breakdown, and they literally stand around watching as he breaks his nose and then trips into a glass pane that shatters and cuts him up. They literally just stand there watching. Nobody offers to check if he's okay or call an ambulance. I guess that's okay because he's a man.The worse thing about this movie is that it is NOT a good portrayal of women, and there is something seriously wrong with society if we do find this funny.
... View MoreThis is a feel good chick flick; mindless, harmless easy to watch, a few genuine laughs and nice scenery including location, clothes, expensive houses and nice looking men.It delivers about what you'd expect and you won't remember anything about it in a couple days but at the right time these types of movies are just perfect. I didn't want to think to hard, needed an escape and wanted something without violence. Must be why they continue to make these silly movies.Cameron Diaz discovers that the man she's been dating is married and teams up with his wife (Leslie Mann) and another mistress (Kate Upton) to destroy his career and teach him a humiliating lesson in fidelity.Oh, and where has Don Johnson been hiding? He looks fantastic, why isn't he showing up in more things?
... View MoreNikolaj Coaster-Waldau not able to repair the plot. I not support cheating... but I think real cheaters only laugh at the moments of this film. Why? Let me to introduce the character of our Gold Lion: Mark King (name describe the character trope) Mark King is a business man... decent, tall, handsome, shrewd and looks-like a romantic-film type man by always wearing full business or using the rolled up shirt style. He is DEFINITELY not cautious or overthinking. Mark King's flaw is not over-cheating but his insane foolery. Mark cheating his wife with two women. This is a fair set, I believe harmed, abused or bullied woman may enjoy his downfall as a temporary cure to their problems. Mark works as a regular man, maybe low-cunning in the script, but he is dumb. He types different woman on his ******** account, lie to travel to golf or a business trip. (typical American cliché): Mark however had maybe two chance to redeem himself, but all may be ended in bittersweet. If he told, that the papers for the illegal companies signed by his wife, then the wife surely hates him, even Mark told him, that it made for their wealth. No way for the previous events... - Mark is an evil man... boastful females can look down the people by that fictional or real character's attitude. Their hateful arrogance in that way is shredding the mind. BUT, if Mark stick on his wife side and when he failed to broke the law, his wife may excuse him and she can visit him in the prison! It also been a somewhat downer ending. - Mark cheating even Kate Upton's meaningless character. He is a "playboy" man with "playboy" attitudes and desires: More cars, more women and more wealth. I feel sorry to Leslie Mann's character, she is trapped.In fact the characters of Nikolaj-Coaster, Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton and all are meaningless ones are paper-thin and without depths. I not give it to a 1/10 rating, because the core of the plot is logical. A skin-deep man cheated his wife three times, also protect himself bad falsehood... like golf match, business trips or incoming calls from co-workers. He provided his position by signing the papers with his wife. Sorry Leslie Mann... your character is dumb too... I even realized it now. SHE definitely not read the papers or speak about this? A fool, a blinded fool. When they in a serious situation (several times) a woman speaks about something and the other two around him begin the natter. This makes the film non-serious! Right... Mark and Leslie Mann's character are in the dead end, because of the plot, somehow for the law of ugly-trashy enjoyment the redhead will become the main protagonist. In a logical film, Mark should be taken to prison by broke the law and Leslie Mann will require some intelligence uplift, because her dizziness and dumbness caused her downfall, even if she able to create business ideas. Her kind nature are irrelevant now. Cameron Diaz... healthy in appearance and bad in acting. Seriously, she feels herself old... the film even jokes it, as he always compare herself the youth in an uncomfortable way. Her character is a fake-lawyer architecture woman, by the way fake-lawyers also go the prison? What about that line of story? All people just ignore her? (LET'S CALL HER LAWYER FURTHERMORE) OK right? He is easily deceived by a cheater, while she not met the wife. Where she taken her degree? She is blind? She should have suspect it by somehow, if the film motivations and other background things were made it properly. Kate Upton is believable than a lawyer, even a fool (but maybe richer) man can deceive a naive youngster. Return to the lawyer. She is a maniac! INSTEAD OF TELL THE POLICE about situation, he begins to plot a CHILDISH revenge in an Adam Sandler level. And when the another no- name wife's brother tell him some advice, she replies: Leave your silly man logic... MAN LOGIC? Tarnation... that character is awful, she spits the eye of the reasonable! The revenge plot and the all other party scene with the sun-burnt terrace is simply awful. Man logic... people should know, that in the cover of the no-depths of the lawyer, there are hidden personality with the disdain of different people. A greedy, satanic, envious, avenger and boastful personality. For the rule of why not, she befriending the naive, kind, dumb, needy and silly-smart wife. The end of the film with that old man is lame and awful. Kate Upton's character is only for fan service. She only served as a third cheated person. Her "jokes" not improved the film. The "punishment" is maybe funny for those, who grown up with Adam Sandler, but in real life they are desperate and childish. The office scene is wrong, even it has a potential, where even Mark's boss invited by the women, but this scene ended with Adam Sandler jokes. Right... the end is Euphoria ending, everything is happy except Mark, enemy is out and the princess saved. Beautiful? Only for the fools! Logical? No! I can tell an alternate version: - Mark cheated his wife, wife and the lawyer take this to the court. They deal with the economic end of the problem (in the film it is done, even it is sketchy and we not see, how they do it CORRECTLY) and Mark went to prison, without burlesque- themed wall fails and life-dangerous pranks, however no one can proof that... maybe except that a skilled one begins to investigate, they surely gets on caught. But please... they are adult people, adults do not needed to act like stupid peasant women from the 9th century.Overall: 4/10 - Jaime/Nikolaj is a fine actor, even in this nothing-role - Leslie Mann is likable, even with her serious flaws.The others are nothing in this film, sorry.
