This is what you want? Really??
In this photo Charmaine the wife and Cara the other woman run into each other at a Prince concert in 1985. Except that it’s 2011.
By all accounts the Viva-Star Cinema production No Other Woman is a smash hit, and in show business there is no arguing with pots of money. We may assume from the box-office grosses that this is the sort of movie the Filipino audience wants to see.
What exactly is this movie saying?
1. Character is unnecessary; all you need are stereotypes. In the traditional defence of marriage melodrama these are:
1.1. The Handsome Husband
1.1.1. The Handsome Husband is so hot that he is literally bursting out of his clothes, which are at least one size too small for him so as to emphasize his well-developed pectoral muscles.

Not about the other woman, but still about coveting: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/10/10/111010fa_fact_smith

LOL. If the movie’s writers truly cared about their craft, they’d crawl under a bed in shame after reading your review. But I think they all they really care about is box office performance.

You can’t knock formula. I mean, 50 odd years of rock and roll built on three chords. But, this movie sounds simply auto-tuned.

lol @ Prince concert.
It cannot be helped, it’s the Emotional Spectrum of Love.
“For hearts long lost and full of fright,
For those alone in blackest night,
Accept our ring and join our fight,
Love conquers all– with violet light!”
