By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB

In fact, we get a quick tour in India itself, as the protagonist, an independent sports agent, seeks new talent for the next Read More

Cinema Cindy Reviews ‘The Other Woman’

Review by CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB

“The Other Woman” is the latest film from Nick Cassavetes (“The Notebook”). Immensely entertaining, it presents a familiar movie theme within a story that manages to surprise us.  In this send up, three women wronged by the same man join forces to set him straight, a move that results in their own personal growth and bonding as friends.
