I Don't Know How She Does It 2011

I Don't Know How She Does It (2011)    Adapted from the best-selling novel by Allison Pearson, a working mother strives to balance her demanding career, raise two children and find time for her marriage.  Kate is a financial planner which requires a lot of travel, her daughter likes to make her feel guilty but her son is still young enough to appreciate anything.  Her husband is an out-of-work architect trying to land a dream job.  How can Kate contribute something homemade to the school bake sale just after returning from a flight, get a new project off the ground at work, be home when her children need her and have anything left to be a partner to her marriage?
    Kate doesn't stop running for the 88 minutes and everyone else is swirling around her constantly.  Looking for relaxation and distraction in a movie, this will not be the one for you.  Strong cast but hasn't this all been done before?  3* (This movie is OK)

88 min, Comedy directed by Douglas McGrath with Sarah Jessica Parker, Pierce Brosnan, Kelsey Grammer, Christina Hendricks, Olivia Munn, Greg Kinnear.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 4.3 out of 10, 17% critic 33% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
