I Don’t Know How She Does It
Kate Reddy (Sarah Jessica Parker) is a middle aged investing guru and mother of two, trying to balance her work and home life; all the while, her men, husband Richard (Greg Kinnear), and business partner Jack (Pierce Brosnan), vie for her time with their own priorities. As business heats up and kids fall ill stress adds up quickly, will she make it through, or will she crack, and what will her boss Clark (Kelsey Grammer) have to say of her actions?
Standard romantic comedy rules apply to this one with text book situations, setups, and punch lines. And, with narration from Parker throughout the film, you can’t help but feel like you’re watching a cousin to Sex and the City. So, no points for originality, and there’s nothing to scream about in the acting department either. The whole thing just kind of sits there, ho hum. It’s cute-ish, but more of a rental for the ladies this winter when you’re home sick with the flu. I Don’t Know How She Does It is rated PG-13.
