Starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Greg Kinnear, Pierce Brosnan
What a charming, funny and touching movie! Once you can get past the characters stepping out of the movie and talking to you, the audience, you can enjoy this sparkly family comedy.
If there are three more charming actors than those starring in this movie, I don’t know who they are. The chemistry, fine acting and snappy writing made this story of a mom who moves heaven and Earth to balance career and parenthood entertaining and too true.
Kate (Parker) runs herself ragged juggling a good marriage, high-powered job and raising two children in Boston. While much is funny, e.g. watching Kate run into an important meeting scratching her head because she has head lice (us moms in the audience knew at once), much of it is serious as well, addressing the pull of both home and work on the heart and mind of a conscientious parent and smart woman.
There were many laughs and some serious moments, too. I loved the warm relationship between Kate and her husband, Richard (Kinnear). The big boss who falls for her does it in a classy, unsleazy way, making it both believable and poignant.
All in all, except for a few mentions of the parents never having time for sex, there is nothing objectionable in this movie. No violence, no bad language and the scenes of parents cuddled together in bed or sharing a sweet kiss are wonderful not tawdry. I don’t know How She Does It should be fine for kids 11 and up. I loved it.
