The Other Woman (2014)

Bad acting, ridiculous attempt at comedy totally falls flat!

[1/10 · 19 May 2014]

Over the past several years I have been struck by how truly bad most American comedy movies have become and this absolutely terrible "comedy" reaffirms my premise that "bathroom" humor (not the John Candy or John Belushi kind of sly-jokes and really funny scenes they left us with) and serious over-acting by supposed comedians (think Identity Thief and the actress who played the title role). There is an expression that has worked its way into the psyche of the American public, which is that we (as the American people) are being "dumbed down" by the movies currently being put out by Hollywood. This movie is dumber than Jim Carrey's movie, "Dumb and Dumber". The lead actress is absolutely abysmal in her comedic talent and the writers are truly bad to have created such a typical, "dumbed down" comedy, that had nothing clever, nothing really funny except perhaps one scene where Cameron Diaz thinks she has been hit in the face by a dog's balls (wow that took a lot of original thinking to come up with that). To say I was disappointed after paying my 11 dollars to see this extremely unfunny movie would be an understatement. From the first scene to the last I squirmed in my seat at the boring pace and repetitive totally "over the top" acting by the lead actress, who name I cannot remember and thank gosh for that as I will have to find it out because I will never go see another movie this crude and unfunny supposed comedian is in!
