This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Kate Reddy (Sarah Jessica Parker) is a Boston high power executive who is trying to do it all. She often leaves her husband Richard (Greg Kinnear) and her two kids for work trips. He's starting a new firm at the worst time. She's having a big meeting with the big boss Jack Abelhammer (Pierce Brosnan) in New York.The constant narration and testimonials are annoying. Maybe it's a compelling story for the working moms of the world. It's certainly doesn't make it fresh. I get the intention but it's not the least bit funny. In the end, that is all that matters. There isn't one good laugh. Olivia Munn comes closest to actual comedy.

I avoided this movie like the plague after I saw negative reviews all over the internet (some of which you'll find on this site) and only picked it up to watch today because I felt like laughing at a terrible movie--and I like Sarah Jessica Parker. It turns out that this movie is super heartwarming and upbeat. SJP is very cute and charming, with none of the stiffness I found a bit off-putting in "The Family Stone". She and Greg Kinnear manage to create a chemistry that is actually believable. And Greg Kinnear is so manly in this film I actually found him a bit strong and handsome. I realize that the story is kind of a fairytale, but overall the movie seems to just be pointing out that it is different to live life in this world as a woman than it is to live it as a man--not just because of the way the world treats us but because of how we see and approach life. Women are capable, special creatures, with their own, unique purpose in the world--not in a "women are less than men and are here to cook and clean" type of way, but in a "the world would be poorer without what women bring to the table" way. To me this film is a celebration of womanhood and the important, myriad roles we play in society along with the joy and compromise that can be found within them. I enjoyed the performances of all the actors and actresses in this movie, although (apart from the two leads) I especially enjoyed Olivia Munn, Pierce Brosnan, and Seth Myers, who I always like to see. If you're on the fence, please ignore the critics and check out this film, it will restore your faith that decent, light, truly funny,feel-good movies do get made in Hollywood.

(Plot) A look at the life of a very busy married woman and how she manages to balance everything, but things predictably end up going awry, and ultimately become too much to handle. OK. So sue me. I liked this movie. I thought it was cute, and I really don't get all the hate this movie seems to be garnering. I'm wondering if it's due to Sarah Jessica Parker's polarizing appeal or something. I thought the movie had a really good message to it. I know how hectic things can get sometimes when you are trying to balance family and work, and all the temptations that come along with it. I felt this movie did a really nice job of exploring that situation to be honest. I thought the ending seemed a bit too neat, but other than that, I truly don't get the hate for this movie. I felt it rang true in a lot of ways, and I empathized with a lot of the stuff. Sarah Jessica Parker is the main reason why this movie works so much. I wouldn't consider myself a big fan of hers, but she can be entertaining with the right scripts. I thought this movie served her talents well. She portrayed a great superwoman who is suddenly becoming vulnerable. Pierce Brosnan displays that charm he is well known for, and I dug him a lot. Greg Kinnear is not a favorite of mine, but he did well here as the oblivious husband. Final Thoughts: I really wonder what's wrong with people some times. It's nothing more than pure fluff, and doesn't try to be anything else. It's not trying to be an Oscar winner, it's meant to entertain the masses, and honestly? I thought it did the job fairly well. It's not bad at all6/10

Why has this movie gotten such a bad rap ? True, it's no great flick and far from a classic, but considering what's out nowadays, I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT isn't all that bad. Some good comedy bits, some nice acting and film making make this pretty good. Much more true to life than these action, special effects films with all that fast cutting and editing. At least the camera stays still and no jerkiness of hand held cameras which is so prevalent these days. Story of mother and carrer woman is logical, problems and all. SARAH JESSICA PARKER seems to be on everyones hate list. WHY? Long face and all she turns in a remarkable performance and is great at physical comedy as well. Give the gal a break. The speaking to the camera and narration sides with SEX AND THE CITY and could have been left out. Otherise an enjoyable hour and a half that won't kill anyone. Speaking of killing, no one gets killed, maimed, hurt or otherwise brutalized in this one. So refreshing. Oh, and no foul language and nudity. Nice for a change.
