I don’t know how she does it… movie review

Did you see this movie with Sarah Jessica Parker – I don’t know how she does it?

I give this movie an adamant thumbs down.

Sure, there were comical moments – check out the clip where Parker tries to pass off a store bought pie as homemade for the school bake sale.

This clearly illustrates that working moms are unable to measure a pie plate. And, even though they earn a living, working moms would never pay someone to bake for them – here comes the mommy guilt.

Overall this movie portrayed working moms (even those with a massive support system) as barely competent. Parker’s character arrives in her professional office with her hair in disarray, she worries over the opinions of other moms, and feels guilt constantly.

But worst of all, this movie set me up for believing it would be a testament to the amazingness of working moms, then, it let me down.

The Guardians’ movie review and Hooked on Houses focus on the set show I wasn’t the only one that wasn’t impressed.

I understand that Hollywood will take liberty when it comes to turning characters into caricatures, but why can’t they choose to go the other way and show how she DOES it?
