As a piece of filmmaking, The Other Woman is garbage, from the arbitrary scene transitions and incoherent editing to the decision to soundtrack a scene of girls having fun with “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” As a piece of entertainment, it’s yet another example of how sexism and racism regularly sneak into ostensibly broad-minded popular films under the rubric of “comedy.” But you don’t even have to dial up the outrage machine to find the film comedically bankrupt: The ladies’ grand revenge scheme involves dosing Jaime with both laxatives AND estrogen supplements. Seriously. Those are jokes.
