movie review: i don't know how she does it
i don't know how she does it, either. and by "it" i mean play the exact same character in every movie she's in. sarah jessica parker channels carrie bradshaw: motherhood edition in this cutesy adaptation of the novel of the same name. i don't know how she does it follows kate (sjp), a high powered banking exec in boston whose life gets a little complicated when she lands a big account in new york. cue "i don't know how to parent, be a wife and work with pierce brosnan" montage. the flick entertains, featuring a stellar cast including greg kinnear, christina hendricks, seth meyers and a surprisingly likable olivia munn. there are plenty of laughs to be had during the hour and a half run time- but i don't know how she does it's biggest downfall is that it's not memorable. cliche after predictable cliche won't have you coming back for a second viewing. but, if you're looking for a nice escape, feel free to check out sjp in action.
