I 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!

Dressed 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.

I mean, if I were a man and my wife was anything like Leslie Mann's character in this movie, I'd cheat, too. And I'm sure that nobody could blame me.She was really, really, really bad here. Her character, her lines, her appearance, and, most of all, - her acting. Just terrible. Annoying to the point of nausea. I wanted to turn the movie off several times just because Leslie Mann was downright unbearable to watch. If the idea was for her antics to be funny, it failed miserably.The other women? Not much better...Cameron Diaz looked terrible. She is not a bad actress in general, but here... urgh. Not funny, not cute, can't pass for a tough career woman. I don't know what she was supposed to be, but she didn't pull it off.Kate Upton... oh, dear! The worst actress ever. A chubby bimbo with bad hair. I think she should get some hair extensions and stick to posing nude for lads' mags (since her acting is painful to watch).And that butt-ugly transgender monstrosity with her inflated backside - Nicki Minaj - don't get me started on that. Why was she cast, seriously? And the guy? Zero charisma, below-average looking, permanently dumb look on his face, lame haircut. Who'd fall for him? Well, at least there were a few funny moments in the movie, I must say. Very few for a comedy, though. I think the diarrhoea scene alone was worth it. That's the main reason I'm giving it 4 (instead of 1) stars. That was a good one.Oh, and I really liked the Great Dane - a beautiful animal, although I missed the point entirely. Other than s****ing on Cameron Diaz's apartment floor, the dog served no purpose and just randomly tagged along throughout the movie.Anyway, I guess there's no harm in watching this movie, but don't expect anything remotely impressive - it's not that good.
