Dilemma, dilemma, dilemma, what is a young working mother to do? This is the situation that Kate Reddy (Sarah Jessica Parker) finds herself in. As a young professional woman working for a Boston-based financial management firm and a wife to Richard (Greg Kinnear) an under-employed architect and mother to two young children, mothers guilt is rampant! Trying to be a super-mom and a great executive at work, she tries to balance everything. Never getting enough sleep, to-do lists running through her mind and trying to be a good wife and mother all take their toll on her.
This is most definitely a "chick-flick"! I think a lot of women, whether they are stay-at-home mothers or professional business women, will find themselves relating to this story in one way or another.
You can't help but get caught up in her life and her situation.
Kate was awarded a big account at her work and it demands that she fly to New York to meet with Jack Ableman (Pierce Brosnan). She is forced to fly to New York at a minutes notice on multiple occasions and leave her wife/mommy life behind.
Trying to balance the age old family/career becomes a real hardship for her. Her husband finally lands a big job and he needs her around more often.
When she succeeds at at landing a huge contract, Jack Ableman starts to find her attractive and hopes to further his personal relationship with her. She feels pressure from every direction.
This movie is based on the novel of the same name, "I Don't Know How She Does It", by Allison Pearson.
I actually enjoyed this movie and having three children of my own I could certainly empathize with her situation. Her assistant Momo (Olivia Munn) was a lot of fun in the movie as well.
It is rated PG-13 for some adult humor and a little profanity. Overall, it is just a fun girls night out kind of movie. I would advise parents to follow the PG-13 rating.
