HE’LL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIT HIM.
When Carly (Cameron Diaz) learns that the new man (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in her life is actually married to Kate (Leslie Mann), the two women reluctantly join forces to get back at him. Nick Cassavetes reunites with his My Sister’s Keeper (2009) star, Diaz, for a revenge comedy that has a lot in common with The First Wives Club (1996). That’s not really its biggest problem; it’s just so frustrating to watch talented performers like Diaz and Mann struggle hard to milk laughs out of a lazy script that’s alternately dumb and predictable.
2014-U.S. 109 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Nick Cassavetes. Cast: Cameron Diaz (Carly Whitten), Leslie Mann (Kate King), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Mark King), Don Johnson, Kate Upton, Taylor Kinney… Nicki Minaj.
