The Other Woman (1:59) 2011

Emilia is a Harvard graduate and lawyer who has an affair with her married boss, Jack. Jack's marriage is on the rocks but he is devoted to his son, Will. When Emilia becomes pregnant, Jack divorces Carolyn and the two get married. And they lived happily ever after. Just kidding, the newlyweds have a plethora of problems. Emilia and Jack's infant daughter dies of SIDS, Carolyn is difficult to deal with, and Will causes problems between his mother and stepmother. Emilia is estranged from her father, who cheated on her mother, causing problems with her relationship with her extended family. In all this turmoil, Will begins to warm up to Emilia as Jack and Emilia's relationship becomes strained. The Other Woman received very poor reviews. I watched it mostly to see Natalie Portman who was the star of the movie. The characters are not particularly likable and there are lots of scenes of fighting and arguing. There is a very emotional scene when, in a flashback, the parents discover the infant daughter has died.
