The Other Woman is a 2014 Romantic Comedy film starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and Kate Upton.New York City lawyer Carly Whitten (Diaz) starts a relationship with the handsome businessman Mark King (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), only to discover that he is already married to Kate (Mann). Carly and Kate, initially mutually horrified to find out about each other form an unlikely friendship, later joined by Mark's other mistress Amber (Upton). Even as they learn that he constantly and shamelessly flirts with every attractive woman he meets, they also discover he's committing international fraud in his wife's name, warping the ideas that she gave him, which could result in her going to jail rather than him.Working together, they plan on getting even by utterly humiliating him.Not to be confused with the Natalie Portman film, The Other Woman (2009). | |

| The Other Woman (2014) / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: Many of the trailers give away that Mark commits fraud in his wife's name in addition to having several extramarital affairs, but the former is revealed quite late into the film. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Carly is very sarcastic and has a cynical streak, and is pretty aloof at first towards Kate. However she soon turns out to be a genuinely good-hearted woman and a loyal friend. | |

Book Ends: Amber's first scene has her wearing a skimpy white bikini on a beach with an older man (Mark). This is also how she's last seen. Except that the man in the last scene - also the movie's last scene - is her new partner, Carly's father. "Carly still refuses to call her 'Mom'..." | |

Genius Ditz: Kate is very flaky, almost to Dumb Blonde levels but she is apparently a whiz at coming up with business ideas, although she doesn't realise how good they are. Mark tells her they won't work, then uses them himself. | |

Four-Temperament Ensemble | |
| The Other Woman (2014) / int_65bc92fc | comment |
Four-Temperament Ensemble: The four main characters: Mark is Sanguine (seductive, charming and outgoing), Kate is Eclectic (a blend of Sanguine and Melancholic - although quite an extrovert and cheerful by nature, also fairly depressed for how she was treated by her husband), Carly is Choleric (outgoing but also independent, mature, goal-oriented and somewhat cynical), and Amber is Phlegmatic (quiet and laid-back yet also friendly and cheerful). | |

Token Evil Teammate | |
| The Other Woman (2014) / int_7aa989ea | comment |
Token Evil Teammate: Carly's assistant Lydia, played strictly for comedy. Not only is she decidedly amoral in her romantic life she laughs with delight as Mark walks through a glass wall, getting badly scratched in the process. Note that Carly, Kate and Amber - who unlike Lydia all have a legitimate grievance with Mark - are visibly shocked and shaken at Mark injuring himself; they've dosed him with things that cause his hair to come out, swell up his nipples female-style and make him... well... shit himself, but they draw the line at physical violence, Amber's suggestion they kick him in the balls notwithstanding. | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality: The entire film is dedicated to ruining the life of Mark for cheating on his wife and lovers, yet other characters such as Frank and Lydia are revealed to have been blatant repetitive cheaters themselves and join the bandwagon for punishing Mark. | |

| The Other Woman (2014) / int_8c170cb1 | comment |
Ethical Slut: Carly appears to at least consider herself this, as while she has a reputation for dating several guys at once in the past- apparently she once dated a "hot rabbi" and his cousin- she is put out to learn that Mark is married. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
| The Other Woman (2014) / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: Mark cheats on his wife (who he was very controlling and manipulative towards) with multiple women, embezzles companies he starts and sets his wife up to take the fall for him if it’s discovered. At the end his wife divorces him (taking the house) thanks to his mistresses help, he looses all his money from it getting returned, he is fired from his job for his crimes, and he gets his car towed (because he parked in a red space) before being punched by the father of one of his mistresses. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: The girls give Mark some pretty nasty punishments before they twig to the full picture. Thanks to him turning out to commit international fraud in his wife's name he deserves it. While it's quite unfair of the audience to laugh before finding this out, the film doesn't treat it this way. | |

Nice, Mean, and In-Between | |
| The Other Woman (2014) / int_c1cef253 | comment |
Nice Mean And In Between: Downplayed since the three women are all reasonably kind individuals, but Amber would be the Nice as the clueless but bubbly one of the trio, Carly would be the Mean as the most sardonic and most cynical of the group, and Kate would be the In-Between as she's generally nice but also overly dependent, emotionally immature and somewhat pushy. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Mark. It's one thing to cheat on his wife with two other women, plus a possible third in the Bahamas, but Carly's legal expertise uncovers he intended to frame her for embezzling money from all the companies his company had helped develop. Towards the end, the women return all the money to those Mark defrauded, sparing both him and Kate prison time, then he is fired, and Kate, after divorcing him, takes over his position in the company. | |

Hate Sink: Mark is a serial liar and an adulterer who is cheating on his wife with multiple mistresses, all of which he lies too by claiming to be inlove with them and seeing even more women behind their backs. He also embezzles money from companies he starts up and made his wife the CEO of them all so if it’s discovered she gets arrested instead of him. | |

Freudian Trio | |
| The Other Woman (2014) / int_e8cae797 | comment |
Freudian Trio: Kate is the Id (overemotional, dependent, impulsive and often immature), Carly is the Superego (levelheaded, professional and more on the cynical side compared to the other two women), and Amber is the Ego (cheerful and kind but also fairly well-balanced, especially considering she's the youngest). | |

| The Other Woman (2014) / int_faf4a043 | comment |
Good Adultery, Bad Adultery: Lydia is unbothered at first when Carly tells her she found out Mark was married using her own love life as an example of this. Both she and her current husband Stan were married when they met, they entered an affair with each other because they weren’t happy and now they are. However she helps get back at Mark at the end, presumably after discovering their situation isn’t the same since Mark is also seeing multiple other women at the same time and set his wife up to go to jail in place of him. | |
