Story: After discovering her boyfriend is married, Carly Whitten tries to get her ruined life back on track. But when she accidentally meets the wife he's been cheating on, she realizes they have much in common, and her sworn enemy becomes her greatest friend. When yet another affair is discovered, all three women team up to plot mutual revenge on their cheating, lying, three-timing SOB.

Likes : What is funny about this film is some guy's do's this everyday in real life some woman just don't see it because they are blinded by love because some guy just cant be trusted this film is a clear example. This film is pretty funny in place & well scripted although i did find Cameron Diaz did really carry this film as well as she has done in over film's but still good acting tho.
 The beautiful Kate Upton i think was thrown in as the blonde bimbo character although she held her own in this film which i was impressed with but i think the one actress that really carried this film was Leslie Mann playing the unlucky wife marred to a cheating husband sleeping around with multiple partners, her performance is brilliant & she deserves major credit in this film she is incredibly talented and carried a lot of the movie comedical & hilarious moment's. Leslie is in a comedy league of her own.
through most of the film is funny it has its moments t special the scenes that are completely hilarious are when Kate King  is putting estrogen pills in her husband's smoothies while Carly has put laxative powder in his drink. Taylor Kinney as Kate's brother Phil kind of in the film as a love interest im sure most woman would swoom over him, Nikki Minaj exactly is a good actor she only had a few scenes but she doesn't steal the show from these veteran actresses which is good for the film.
 I will say this film seriously get funny by the end special the office scene, just funny as hell, this is some what of a girly flick but some guys might like this as well with having Kate Upton starring in this with a white bikini showing her gorgeous body off , this film might not be for everyone but this is a funny film to watch.

Dislikes : I just think Cameron should have had more comedic role in this because Leslie was carrying the film if she wasn't in this i don't think this film would of been as funny as it was.

Overall :  hilarious, funny, eye candy for men & woman, great comedy revenge movie

Rating: 4.8 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.8 out of 10 for comedy
