Violence and gore in The Other Woman
Violence is infrequent and played for comedic, slapstick effect. In a flashback, a character angrily destroys an office with a golf club. The main revenge plot involves pranks like giving someone laxatives. The climax features the most explicit violence: a character, in a fit of rage, walks directly into a glass wall, getting a bloody nose, and is then immediately punched in the face by another character.

Language is moderate, with at least one use of "f--k". The script also includes frequent use of "s--t," "asshole," "damn," and anatomical terms like "dick" and "tits." Characters also use rude hand gestures.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in The Other Woman
Social drinking is frequent throughout the film, with main characters often shown with wine or hard liquor, sometimes to the point of clear intoxication while they bond. As part of the revenge plot, the women secretly dose a character's drinks with estrogen pills and laxatives to cause him physical and emotional distress.
Mature themes in The Other Woman
The central theme is infidelity and its emotional consequences. The film explores the pain of being cheated on, but treats the subsequent revenge plot with a light, comedic tone.
