MPR's Movie Maven and Cube Critic Stephanie Curtis joins Steve Seel and Jill Riley to talk about the new comedic revenge film starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and Kate Upton.

The Other Woman centers on Cameron Diaz's character, who, after discovering her boyfriend is married, tries to get her ruined life back on track. But when she accidentally meets the wife he's been cheating on (Leslie Mann), she realizes they have a lot in common and the two become friends.

Although Stephanie says the film's setup is good, it becomes more of a female-bonding film than a revenge comedy. Listen to the audio to hear Stephanie's full review.

The Other Woman is rated R, and is playing "in theaters everywhere."
