I Don't Know How She Does It


I Don't Know How She Does It
A young married mother devotes her days to her job with a financial management firm. At night she goes home to her adoring, unemployed husband Richard and their two young children. It's a non-stop balancing act, the same one that her best friend and fellow working mother performs on a daily basis, and that her child-phobic young junior associate fully intends to avoid. When she gets handed a major new account that will require frequent trips to New York, her husband also manages to find work, putting their household routine under intense pressure. Complicating matters is her charming new business associate, who begins to provide an unexpected source of temptation....

C. Fuchs quote iconWhat easily could and should have been wicked satire in bringing down the still lingering traditions of double standards ends up lacking teeth and thus gums the viewer into a state of boredom despite the filmmakers' half-hearted attempts to liven things up by breaking the fourth wall and such
