The cross-cultural story and scenes in India are captivating. Having lived among a subset of the Indian culture, I giggled through much of this part of the film. 

In fact, we get a quick tour in India itself, as the protagonist, an independent sports agent, seeks new talent for the next Read More

Review by CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB

“The Other Woman” is the latest film from Nick Cassavetes (“The Notebook”). Immensely entertaining, it presents a familiar movie theme within a story that manages to surprise us.  In this send up, three women wronged by the same man join forces to set him straight, a move that results in their own personal growth and bonding as friends.
