New SJP Movie Tells Tale of Juggling It All

Women who are juggling it all  _ or trying to juggle it all _ will relate to Sarah Jessica Parker’s latest movie, I Don’t Know How She Does It.

The new movie is based on the critically acclaimed bestseller by Allison Pearson and follows a Boston-based working mother.

Here’s the plot from moviefone.com:

Kate Reddy (Parker) devotes her days to her job with a Boston based financial management firm. At night she goes home to her adoring, recently-downsized architect husband Richard (Greg Kinnear) and their two young children.

It's a non-stop balancing act, the same one that Kate's acerbic best friend and fellow working mother Allison (Christina Hendricks) performs on a daily basis, and that Kate's super-brainy, child-phobic young junior associate Momo (Olivia Munn) fully intends to avoid.

When Kate gets handed a major new account that will require frequent trips to New York, Richard also wins the new job he's been hoping for--and both will be spreading themselves even thinner. Complicating matters is Kate's charming new business associate Jack Abelhammer (Pierce Brosnan), who begins to prove an unexpected source of temptation.
