DVD Review: “I Don’t Know How She Does It”

I Don’t Know How She Does It

Released: January 3, 2012

Studio: The Weinstein Company

Running Time: 89 minutes

ABOUT:

Kate Reddy (Parker) devotes her days to her job with a Boston-based financial management firm. At night she goes home to her adoring, recently-downsized architect husband Richard (Kinnear) and their two young children. It’s a non-stop balancing act, the same one that Kate’s acerbic best friend and fellow working mother Allison (Christina Hendricks) performs on a daily basis, and that Kate’s super-brainy, child-phobic young junior associate Momo (Olivia Munn) fully intends to avoid. When Kate gets handed a major new account that will require frequent trips to New York, Richard also wins the new job he’s been hoping for and both will be spreading themselves even thinner. Complicating matters is Kate’s charming new business associate Jack Abelhammer (Brosnan), who begins to prove an unexpected source of temptation.

MY THOUGHTS:

While I am not a mom who works outside of the home, I can definitely relate as I feel like my blog is a full-time job.  It is amazing to see how Kate juggles a huge job offer and her family.  She travels constantly and you see how both sides manage.  Throughout the movie there is also clips with interviews from other people in Kate’s life, for example a “Momster” who acts like she is a superior mom because she stays at home (although she really probably spends less time with her kids!)  Kate shows that when she is home she makes the most of things with her family and really loves her family.

I laughed and I could relate, although I think a mom who works outside the home would laugh even more!  I also love Sarah Jessica Parker and it made me wonder how she as an actress and mom, does it all?  I actually can’t wait to watch this movie again with my husband so he can see how tough it is being a mom – whether working or not working!  Great movie to watch!
