Movie Review-----I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT

I begin this review by stating first that Troy and I are enormous Sarah Jessica Parker fans. It doesn't matter what she's in, we find something to enjoy about it. We are the two soul Americans who loved the sequel to SEX AND THE CITY. Enough said. So tonight we lit a fire, got some wine, and sat in the living room to watch I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT. Ms Parker plays Kate Reddy, a successful executive, wife and mom whose personal and professional lives hang in precarious balance. When Kate takes on a new job challenge, she and her brood have some serious prioritizing to do. The basic theme of the film is the plight of a modern day working mother. The script is slight but sweet. Ms Parker is charming and is ably supported by Greg Kinnear, Kelsey Grammar, Pierce Brosnan, Seth Myers, and Christina Hendricks. It was an enormous box office failure and I can see why. It feels like a Lifetime movie for television, but there is something very sweet about it and it actually does bring up a few good points about the double standard for men and women in the workplace who juggle a family. If you are an SJP fan as we are, I recommend it. If you are a fan of harmless "chick flicks", I recommend it. If you are looking for something highbrow that you are going to remember 5 minutes after the end credits roll, I would skip it. Oh....and if you're sipping wine in front of a fire while watching it, all the better.
