Synopsis:

"I Don't Know How She Does It" follows a Boston-based working mother trying desperately to juggle marriage, children, and a high-stress job. Kate Reddy 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 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.

Review:

First you should know that I was forced to watch this stupid ass movie by my GF & her sister. I guess it's my own fault for not falling asleep during it like I do so many other movies, TV shows ect. To steal a line from a wonderful "Doug Loves Movies" podcast that they should make the male equivalent starring Matthew Broderick (SJP's real life husband) & title it "I Don't Know How He Does It". Just watching ole horse face for an hour plus was gut wrenching. In almost 95% of any "Kill, Marry, Boff" game I will always choose SJP as my "Kill". Lets hope it doesn't come down to Juliet Lewis, Milla Jovovich & Her because my choice will always be suicide. Horse Face aside the rest of the cast is actually really good. Pierce Brosnan, Kelsey Grammer, Seth Meyers, Greg Kinnear are always at the top of their game. But it was your stereotypical chick flick only lamer.
