By the end of “The Other Woman,” everybody in the theater cheers the way things shake down.
Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton sure make a good team against the cad who decided he wanted them all at the same time.
Mann is the star of this show, using the physical comedy skills that are carrying her way up the movie ladder. And Diaz isn’t hesitant about handing over the young beauty role to Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition model Upton.
Pity that damn fool man who thought he was so good-looking and charming and smart …

Have you seen Leslie Mann on the big screen? Do you think she’s funny, very funny or hilarious? OK, I’ll give you the choice of not funny, too.

I was thoughtfully taught (with sensitivity) in Boot Camp:

That was how we remembered the etiquette.

“Gumby-like physicality”
Now. That. Is a great phrase.

Not my kind of movie (sadly, I must skip it and wait for “Noah” on Amazon… streaming…Instantaneously video)

No, from what I read of you, Lance, not your kind of a movie, although I think you would like her Gumby-like physicality. Thanks, buddy, and I hope you have that ark built before ‘Noah’ shows up on streaming.

Did you ever catch the show, “Will and Grace,” where the red haired lead, Grace was the character, played Lucille and Will portrayed Ricky Ricardo? They did quite a wonderful job of this! I loved her hilarious acting skills in her antics, too. Megan Mullaly played Grace’s secretary who did absolutely nothing but was a good wisecracker! I am so sorry, I forget the actors’ names and once I start a comment, I have had difficulty getting back to the comment, once I go off to research…Fun stuff!
