Movie Summary
Kate has the life everyone envies; a great job, a great husband and 2 children. On the outside, all looks good but it is a challenge every day to balance all her responsibilities. Her friends try to help however just cannot help.
-by Ginger
This comedy centers around the life of Kate Reddy’s, the head of the household for her husband and two kids. This family movie review thinks that you just might see yourself in this movie. It is a fun movie that spoofs real life. It is about achieving a balance between career and making ends meet, while still trying to keep family ties.
I Don’t Know How She Does It was a comedy, but this parent’s movie review found it to be incredibly realistic and true to life. As far as promoting family values are concerned, this movie gets an A+. It highlights and promotes the value of family and putting the ones that you love first. The Mom in this movie has her priorities straight. She is ambitious and career minded, but she knows that it all would be worthless without her kids and her husband.
This movie is about having it all. It is about how career moms all around the world do it. You know, they always wondered how we do it, and what we do when we can’t sleep at night. That’s right, we do make the list. Does Kate’s list sound a little like your list? I know that it certainly sounds a lot like mine. The only drawback to this movie is that it gave away all of the sacred secrets. Now they know how we do it and they also know that we love them very much. This was a great movie about family values and it pays tribute to moms all around the world. We all have certain things in common and this movie brings them out.
In terms of family friendly movies, this one is great. I would certainly put this one on the list.
