PhillyBurbs.com call it a film that working moms can relate to. However, it may be a little “too much” as the website gives the film a “B-“.

In this film, Sarah Jessica Parker as “Kate Reddy” is a woman who is trying to balance a high demand career, two children, a husband who’s career isn’t as steady as her own, and somehow have a social life of her own.

Although Parker is praised for her impeccable acting skills in hit television series Sex and the City critics are arguing that this wasn’t her best work.

“I know the patriotic duty of Hollywood is provide fantasies to get us through the hard times, like those Busby Berkeley musicals of the Great Depression, but as a harried working mother myself, I found this vision of harried working motherhood a little hard to bear. We’re supposed to pity poor wealthy, successful Kate Reddy, who’s a ridiculously rock-hard size 0 without ever working out,” Frothygirlz comments.

latimes.com says, “Thwarted by the same awkwrd timing that zonked ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’ two years ago, just when shopaholics began to seen extra-heinous, the film version of ‘I Don’t Know How She Does It’ doesn’t know how to do what I think it’s trying to do.”

Now that America has heard the opinions of many movie critics, it’s time for them to decide for themselves; I Don’t Know How She Does It: Flop or Fab?
