"Step Mom" & "The Rabbit Hole" meets "The Other Woman".
18 June 2011
THE OTHER WOMAN – CATCH IT ( B ) "Step Mom" & "The Rabbit Hole" meets "The Other Woman". I think Step Mom is the best movie about the other woman and last year Rabbit Hole has emerged as the best movie ever about the Child Loss. In "The Other Woman" we see very nice amalgamation of both movies, though I'm not suggesting it's a copy of those movies because besides the basic story line nothing is as it was in those two movies. Natalie Portman plays The Other Woman, who breaks a marriage, becomes a step mom and loss her first child in a year. Portraying all these three paces on the screen can be a difficult task but Natalie Portman does it with so ease that it's truly commendable. Most of the times the Heroin has always been shown right but here we see that she is flawed and sometimes it's really hard for her to accept where she is wrong. Natalie as lover, then wife, step mother and as grieving mother is simply amazing. On one side where the screenplay could have been tighten, Natalie's performance and chemistry with little kid "Charlie Tahan" keeps us engaging. Charlie Tahan is amazing as he was in "Charlie St.Cloud". Scott Cohen was good as an actor but somehow he lacked the charisma in front of Natalie Portman. Lisa Kudrow did well as always. Overall, good family movie with lots of emotions and drama. If you love Natalie Portman, watch it! You won't be disappointed.
