The Other Woman - 1 1/2 stars

Cameron Diaz is sleeping with this guy.  One night, she surprises him at his house and discovers that he's married.  His wife (Leslie Mann) is very upset when she learns that her husband is cheating on her, but she's not mad at Cameron Diaz.  She understands that Diaz had no idea that he was married.

The two become good friends and eventually decide to get revenge on him.  They follow him on a "business trip" and discover that he has another mistress (Kate Upton).  They recruit her, and "hijinks" ensue. 

How are they going to teach him a lesson, you ask?  Well, how about putting hair removal cream in his shampoo, and putting a laxative in his wine while he's at a fancy restaurant.  Hilarious!  And you just know that Girls Just Want to Have Fun is going to play over a montage of them planning their schemes. 

This movie just isn't very good.  It's supposed to be a comedy, but I didn't laugh much.  Leslie Mann made me chuckle now and then, but she had to work really hard for those laughs.  Cameron Diaz bored me, but Kate Upton did okay.
