Joy Fielding's The Other Woman

wHEN WILL THIS BE ON AGAIN? i MISSED IT AND REALLY WANT TO SEE IT. tHNKS

You can tell that these are candadian actors (accent on words such as "sorry") and most of them are unrecognizable but a few of them were just strange. I'm not sure if it's how they were directed to act but they were just creepy. This was on the surface a silly over the top movie. I agree with most of the posts about morality and all, but one thing I have to take issue with is should the "daughter being chummy with Jill". Of course she should be! Whatever happened between her parents is between them.(I'm sure that will raise the hackles of the ones who believe that children run the household). She is a child and should show respect and consideration to the people her parents are married to. THat doesn't mean she has to love her, that doesn't mean she has to think of her as her parent, but she does have to be respectful and do her best to get along. This idea that children get to decide if they're going to be polite to the new spouse is just ridiculous. Until they've been in an adult relationship they have no business being judgemental or spoiled brats.

will there be a repeat - i loved the book by joy fielding and missed the movie on lifetime

WHEN WILL IT BE REPEAT? I MISSED THAT MOVIE AS I FORGOT BUT THE OFFICE NEVER RESPOND MY QUESTION AS I EMAILED TO THEM TWICE. VERY LAZY OF THESE WORKERS!!!!

Siddrach, my husband says the exact same thing. He hates to see me watching Lifetime.

SPOILER: First, I agree the movie was absurd. I mean, Jill is supposedly a level-headed, nice, kind, "moral" person who on the other hand didn't have the scruples to know that breaking up a marriage and marrying the man is just wrong. In reality she would have been another skank. Assuming the husband told her what I'm sure most married men say is that he's a victim, wife doesn't understand him, she's cold, blah, blah, blah. I also couldn't believe the daughter tells Jill, "don't worry about my mom, she's a bit*h". No wonder the daughter is so screwed up with a father and dysfunctional family like that. But in the end, I thought the movie finally gave the appropriate message: the husband, we find out, has been having an affair with his twit assistant the whole time and when confronted by Jill, he simply walks. The moral of the story is that you get what you bargain for, in this case, Jill got a cheater, a man that has no respect for the institution of marriage, a narcissist, among many other negative things. And that's reality.

My husband doesn't like Lifetime (except for the Golden Girls). He thinks the whole channel is about men cheating on, beating, killing, or raping women.

does anyone know who played nicole?

I would like to know how the movie ended. I didn't get to see the final 45 minutes. Can anyone tell me or if it's going to be back on and when.

All great points, siddrach! I guess what really gets my "dander up" is the choice made to air this garbage, on a network that purports to represent me! If I'm a man looking at Lifetime, & I see the majority of programming they show, I can come to some very negative conclusions about the "type" of women they claim to represent. As for this movie, you're absolutely right, it wasn't worth my time, or my outrage!

This movie was based on a book, so maybe you should be asking Joy Fielding these questions. There is no morality in any movie on any channel. Lifetime is trying to keep up with that trend so people will still watch it. The movie and I'm guessing the book, was poorly made/written. It seemed like 3 movies in one. It was stupid and totally weird. What happened to that girl breaking into their house, sending the glass and photos, putting glass in the food, and following the wife? I mean do you forget to tell your husband and the police about those things? But then it switches to the boss and actual cheating. I thought it was mainly going to be about the psycho girl like so many Lifetime movies. The only thing I can see that people would get out of it is that people don't change. An abuser and a cheat are most likely to always be that way. Oh and if your husband defends the psycho or doesn't push her away when she hugs him, then get rid of him. This movie was against women by making them look like psychotic, stupid, and needy homewreckers. But hey, I'm not getting my BP up because of another stupid movie. At least 98% of movies made are crappy, so the best thing to do is to turn them off when you realize how awful they are.

Personally, I'm at a point where this network's slogan of "television for women", is nothing more than an insult! I don't know of many women who revel in their ability to cheat on their husbands. Nor do I know of many women who see life as a completely amoral endeavour. There is such a thing as guilt & responsibility in this world, & somehow our self-appointed "representative" in the TV field, seems to have forgotten that fact! I feel sorry for all of you who somehow see this film as a reflection of "normal" behaviour. And my lonely "voice in the wilderness" protest, serves as an attempt to disavow & distance myself, even psychologically, from the tripe that passes as "television for women"! The question needs to be asked-" Is this what the feminist/women's movement was meant to achieve"? I'm NOT a raging political junkie- but why is mine the only outrage expressed on this forum? Was this movie's "theme" OK with you guys? Could you see your child being chummy with, & defending the woman who broke up your marriage? And, are you OK with the other woman's heroic portrayal in this film? Again, is it just me?

Yes, I was disappointed too.

Thank you so much! It was going to bother me all night even though it doesnt look like I missed much. I thought it was going to be some tangled story.

The boss dies and the wife gets beaten up. The police think it was a home invasion. Jill finds out that the boss was the one who beat his wife and she killed him in self-defense. Jill believes the boss' wife, but Jill's husband doesn't. And the husband ending up cheating on Jill. She finds out because his daughter and her boyfriend record him having sex with Nicole on a camera phone. Jill confronts him and he moves out. Sorry I can't remember all the names. :) I hope it makes sense.

siddrach77, can you tell me how the movie ended? I would really appreciate it.

The movie wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I thought it was more about the psycho girl. It seemed very disorganized.

Does anybody know the name of the guy who played the cheating husband?

Can someone please tell me what happened at the end? I had to step out at the part where Nicole came to the office to have a drink with the husband and he has this weird smile on his face. WTH?

How did the movie end? I had to leave before it was over
