I Don't Know How She Does It

Rating 5 out of 10

When you are married you learn early on there is a thing called "compromise".  For you young males that means when you have date night with the wife you go see the move she wants to see.  Proof of this is we never see the new Action movie on date night.  Often I am the only male in the theater.  The things you do for a wonderful wife!

While this is not a movie I would have picked it wasn't horrible.  Never been a big Sarah Jessica Parker fan, but she does a decent job here.  She plays a working mother of two small children and a successful husband (Greg Kinnear).  Her position at a high profile banking firm takes off and she gets to deal with the pressures of being a good mom and a businesswoman.  The movie has all the cliches.  Feeling guilty for missing childrens functions, the good looking male she has to work with, other stay at home moms looking down on her because she works...

This is a paint by the numbers movie that works for what it is.  The cast is surprisingly good.  It tugs heartstrings when it's supposed to.  Chick flick from A to Z.
