Not impressed with Greg Kinnear and Pierce Brosnan's performance in this. Lots of stars in this and its like they jammed the sex and the city star into the plotline. Some really liked this though.

Guilty pleasure time. This is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies.

For those who may not know, this film is based on a novel of the same name, written by Allison Pearson. I've read the novel three times; it is HILARIOUS. Speaks to every working mom out there, and the trials and tribulations of navigating corporate London -- yes, the novel takes place in London, while the film takes place in the US -- with two small children and a somewhat present husband.

The film does capture some of the nuances of the novel but it is on its own level. Enter harried Kate Reddy, played by Sarah Jessica Parker. Happy to have found something to wear to work that doesn't have throw-up or old food on the front. Working in finance and being one of the few women on the team, she gets a high-powered account and is introduced to Jack Abelhammer, played by the truly yummy Pierce Brosnan.

What the film nailed, in my opinion, is the constant juggling Kate goes through in her universe -- male-dominated work world, two small children, a house in need of constant repair, and a husband who means well but falls just a bit short. Olivia Munn plays Kate's assistant, Momo.

This film will probably not win any awards, it kind of came and went during its very limited theatrical run, but shows up on cable every now and again. I found it hugely entertaining.

Not necessarily a fan of SJP, but she was pretty good in this movie. Seems like ALL women are faced with these problems in this day and age.
