I Don't Know How She Does It (2011)

I don’t care how she does it-I don’t want to know how she does it-no matter what title pun I start off with, it will still carry the exact same message-I really am not fond of this movie. Based off of the novel of the same name, I Don’t Know How She Does It stars Sarah Jessica Parker as Kate Reddy, a feminist who struggles with her husband, her kids, her job, and her personal life, which is so insanely difficult because nobody else on the planet has to work through more than one thing at once. That’s the first fault of this movie, ten seconds in-it treats her like this unnaturally hardworking person, when in reality, she is just another person. And so she gets offered a big job which would make her have to spend much less time with her kids and her husband and she has friends and enemies and God, why is Seth Myers in this? He plays this scumbag who is on screen for no more than five seconds, and it just pains me that he is in this movie, but that’s not the biggest disappointment of this film. The biggest disappointment is that-okay, there are these useless scenes in this movie that cut to the horse’s friends who explain stuff, and the filmmaker is too dumb to explain stuff any other way, like a documentary would, but this is way too dull to be a documentary-Busy Phillips is in this movie, as one of the girls that explains stuff. Why, Busy Phillips, why? Also, why is your name Busy Phillips? But, you were on Freaks and Geeks, one of the top 5 shows EVER MADE, and you just now are wasting your career on this movie, when you should be getting so much better roles. You were Kim, one of the most interesting characters on one of the most interesting shows that was ever made, and now this? NO! NO! NO! This entire movie is just littered with these great actors, like Christina Hendricks, Pierce Brosnan (come on Bond, not you too!), GREG KINEAR, and so many other people who walk on long enough to just make my day a little duller. I don’t like I Don’t Know How She Does It, and I don’t think anyone else does either. You. Are. Terrible.
