The Other Woman
Love makes everything possible.
Academy Award winner Natalie Portman (Black Swan) lights up the screen with "utterly fearless performance" (Rob Nelson, Variety) in this frank, funny, and heart-wrenching adaptation of bestselling author Ayelet Waldman's novel Love and Other Impossible Pursuits. Emilia (Portman) is a Harvard law school graduate who falls in love with her married boss, Jack (Scott Cohen, The Understudy), a high powered New York Lawyer. Starting a new life together, Emilia and Jack's, happiness turns to grief when they lose their newborn daughter. Devastated but determined to carry on, Emilia struggles to connect with her precocious new stepson William (Charlie Tahan, I Am Legend), and to resist the interference of Jack's jealous ex-wife (Lisa Kudrow, Easy A).An all-star cast makes this journey of love, loss, and rebuilding one of the year's most heartfelt and touching dramas.

A sad surprise - pogostickcowboy
I thought this was going to be a moving a bout cheating, infidelity, etc. Wow...the movie was great but the story was so sad and depressing that everyone in the room was crying by the end of the film. Have lots of kleenex handy for the ladies..and the guys too!Loved this - Angie999
Although quite dramtic I found it the acting (not surprising with Portman) and script well done on a very emotional subject - recovering from the guilt and grief of losing a child and the difficulty of moving on with life / blended families etc. without all the typical cliches.The Other Woman - bbryon1
"A comedy/drama that details the story of a woman's difficult relationship with her stepson. Was very well done even though the theme has been done before. It does have a happy ending. Was worthwhile watching. Typical second marriage scenerio. New wife and old wife in competition for the love of a child.
