one of my absolute favorites!

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Blistering performances.

Most of the reviews on this movie are not positive. I would advise skipping many of them because they are wrong. I stumbled upon this on my day off and laughed out loud, was charmed right from the beginning. It's original, smart, a bit sarcastic, breaks the 3rd wall speaking to the audience and has a wonderful cast. It's realistic if you are or have been a working Mom, The writing is on the mark. It's about relationships and living. Parker, Kennear and Brosnan have a subtle, stylish, lovely chemistry. It made my day because it's about the things which do matter. Sometimes those things take awhile to be recognized because standing on principal does matter.

Why would you take a book that is witty, smart, honest and funny and turn it into something so ridiculous? I spent most of the movie wondering what possessed the screenwriters to take an excellent book, throw everything out except names of characters, completely mis-cast most of the roles and produce this joke of a movie? If you enjoyed the book - the movie will completely disappoint; if you haven't read the book - there is nothing worth watching in the movie, since the way the story line and the characters have been re-written by the screenwriters make this an un-realistic, pointless, waste of time.And the acting - as much as I adore Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and The City - she just cannot pull of this role; a business woman in an all-men investment firm does not fix her tights in a video conference room, does not say thank you 10 times in a row, and is generally not a ditz. A working mother is not a walking joke which is what SJP makes this character look like

The movie should have premiered on the lifetime movie network. The story line seemed perfect for that channel, not a theater release movie. SJP plays, Kate, a working mom juggling a promising career and her family. Issues involve her spending time with her kids and hubby and having to travel to New York for business. Kate is such a great person, you know she's not going to screw over her family for her hot business partner. And of course, she even sets him up with one of her friends.FINAL VERDICT: A movie about a working mom isn't anything great. It's not really funny, but has a few cute moments. But don't go out of your way to watch it.

I don't see why people today can't just appreciate a light hearted, feel good movie like this and analyze it to death. This is not Inception. This movie will not make you think deep thoughts. It is Sarah Jessica Parker doing what she does best and making you want to make her your best friend. Is there much of a plot? No. Does there really need to be in the age of Transformers? No. If you love SATC and SJP I can't imagine that you wouldn't enjoy this movie also. Honestly I thought Greg Kinnear was not a good choice for spouse, although I do like him I just thought there wasn't much chemistry between the two. Pierce was excellent, as always. This man continues to get better with age. He looks elegant and charismatic and you can still imagine him in the Bond role. Now, SJP and Pierce had chemistry! I rented this when my air conditioned went out at my house and the Batman movie shootings had recently happened so I really needed a movie to relax and escape to while watching. Don't believe all the bad reviews!
