Movie: The Other Woman.
This is a movie made in 2009 with Natalie Portman. It got terrible reviews. I thought it was brilliant.
Why did it get shitty reviews? Because its a story about a woman who has an affair with a man, gets pregnant, marries the man. The man has a 11 year old son. She has trouble bonding with him. You see the dynamic of the second "family". The ex wife is a tyrant.
The reviewers feel that Natalie's character is "unsympathetic".
I watched this movie yesterday, then read the reviews and was surprised by them. Then I thought "Steptalkers will appreciate this movie".
Please, watch this movie!!!

I saw it too and thought it was good, but agree with Mazzy that I wish that Natalie's character had met her DH other than by having an affair. However, I think we all have to move on at some point so I didn't like Lisa Kudrow's character either (but she did a great job in that part).

Not to ruin the movie for anyone....but she says something to the boy at the end of the movie....which I think negated her and the "step" dynamic.
That being said, the whole time I'm watching the movie, I'm thinking "Leave him!!!" "Move On!!" "You're better off without him!!".

I thought it was good and I thought Lisa Kudrow was totally intimidating as the BM!!!
It was really sad at times and made me cry re. Natalie's experience in the movie.
I was glad it ended the way it did, definitely worth watching as a step!!
