I used to be a huge movie buff. I once even managed a video rental store, back when those existed. I still love movies but I rarely get the time to enjoy them. Until a movie that looks so beyond funny comes out, then I MAKE the time for it.
I had received advance screening passes to see the new movie The Other Woman a few months back. I stared at those passes for a month waiting for the day to arrive. I planned, I prepped, I even called for a girls night with my bestie. And then on the afternoon of the day I was to go see the movie, I got the opportunity of a lifetime. I was offered the chance to attend the Latin Billboard Music Awards Show!
I was so very torn, but I knew that attending the Latin Billboards was a once in a lifetime chance. To be honest, I am such a simple person that I really would have preferred to go see the movie instead. I promised I would make it up to myself and see the movie when it came out. Then life happened and days turned into weeks, which turned into months, and I never saw the movie. An email appeared in my inbox with a 2nd chance. I applied to review and do a giveaway of The Other Woman movie. I even emailed the representative telling them that I would be honored if I was selected.
A few weeks have gone by and I have sat by my mail box waiting to see if I’ve been selected. Then another email appears inquiring if I would be interested in hosting a The Other Woman viewing party with my friends and doing a closet and accessories swap party. OMG, YES PLEASE!!!! The date of the event is scheduled for this Friday, July 18 while I am in NY. What to do, what to do…..I am in NY for a blogger conference, so I reached out to my blogging buddies and presented them with the idea of having this party post conference. Of course everyone said yes, and as the day nears I am more excited than ever and so very happy that in the end everything has worked out.
So I wanted to let you all know to be on the lookout this Friday for some real action coming from not just me, but 9 other fabulous bloggers I call my friends. We will be posting to Instagram and Twitter using hashtag #OtherWomanSwap.
I wanted to let you know that The Other Woman hit Digital HD today, July 15 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. I am so excited to be able download the movie to my laptop and be able to bring it with me wherever I go. Digital HD allows early access to favorite movies for less than DVD’s and is great for at-home movie nights (like our upcoming mamas’ night in)! If you are wondering where you can get early access to movies available on Digital HD, you can visit online retailers like iTunes.
If you haven’t had a chance to see the movie yet, let me let you in on what makes it so awesome. The Other Woman stars Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and Kate Upton as three unlikely girlfriends who bond in this uproarious comedy about friendship and girl power! Cameron Diaz leads a knockout cast in this irreverent comedy about love, lust and the laws of karma. New York attorney Carly Whitten (Diaz) is nobody’s fool. So when she accidentally discovers that her too-good-to-be-true boyfriend Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is married, she’s less than thrilled. Not only that, she and Mark’s wife Kate (Leslie Mann), learn about yet another mistress (Kate Upton)! Before long, however, the betrayed beauties have become unlikely pals who’ve decided to teach their three-timing man a lesson. The more the trio learns about Mark, the worse he seems, and the more fun they have without him!
So why are we doing a closet swap during the movie watching? Why not! In the film, Carly and Kate bond having a girls’ night and playing dress up in Carly’s magnificent closet, so that is where the idea of a Mama’s night in/closet swap party came from! My friends and I plan on laughing our way through this movie, while swapping clothes, accessories, makeup and more. We’ve got some great games lined up, some yummy cocktails we can drink, munch on delicious appetizers and most importantly, we are just going to have fun!
