Yes, the movie title "The Other Woman" does mean what it says on the face of it. But this movie is has a story more than that. Much more. At the same time, the whole notion of her becoming the other woman took my attention away. Maybe, the original title would have been better, so as to not give out somewhat of a misleading half-story to the viewer. I wanted to feel for the woman, but for some reason I couldn't. Perhaps, Natalie Portman may not have been the right actress for that role. (YMMV) Lisa Kudrow, on the other hand, plays her role near perfect. My Rating: 6.0
