Netflix viewers have all rushed to social media to make the same claim following an iconic romantic comedy landing on streaming platform, Netflix.
The 2014 flick is a cultural touchstone when it comes to one of the most irresistible plotlines ever - women banding together to enact revenge on a man who has done them dirty.
Starring Cameron Diaz (Carly), Leslie Mann (Kate) and Kate Upton (Amber), the three women all find out they've been dating the same guy - Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Mark).
Instead of blaming each other, they decide to blame the man and band together to wreak havoc on his life.

The film, The Other Woman, also features a cameo from Nicki Minaj in what marked her first onscreen role, as Lydia, Carly's assistant.
If you haven't seen it yet, I think that's your weekend plans sorted.
Despite being release a decade ago, fans aren't ready to let go just yet.
At the time of release, critics panned it - but audiences loved it and it was a box office smash, grossing $196.7 million worldwide.
In the film, Carly is a successful Manhattan attorney, Kate is a housewife and Amber is a swimsuit model.
They soon learn they aren't the only women in Mark's orbit and a takedown plan ensues.
They plan a devastating downfall including his company's accounts, but also enact a series of small-time injustices along the way with the help of laxatives and hair removal cream.
While it seems like a fairly obvious direction for the plot to go in, it's the only one that makes sense on behalf of all the wronged women - Mark is confronted, exposed, and the 'other women' well and truly get the last laugh.
Viewers who are rejoicing that the film is on Netflix are all making the same point - that despite what the critics said at the time, this is a genuinely engrossing film that flips the script.
One person wrote on X: "Watching The Other Woman on Netflix and honestly they don’t make movies like this anymore. The casting. The plot."
Another said: "If you’re looking for a movie to binge on this weekend, try The Other Woman on Netflix, loved it!"
A third added: "The Other Woman on Netflix was casted so well."
While a fourth chimed: "The Other Woman is on Netflix, let me curl up on this couch & watch as if I don’t know it."
The Other Woman is now streaming on Netflix.
