I Don't Know How She Does It

"Feels out of step with contemporary reality and humorless in its adaptation of a comic bestseller."

"Though it aims to be a sharply humorous look at the mommy wars, it has nothing remotely new or comical in its arsenal."

"The movie reflects an idealised version of someone failing."

"The humour has become broader and the central character softer, but, in Parker’s nimbly comic performance, she retains her essence."

"I Don’t Know How She Does It seems stuck in the past."

"The film is embarrassingly unfunny, its social observations coarse and dated."

"It's bright, glossy and professionally put together, while the cast at least play it like they mean it."

"Sarah Jessica Parker gets the job done in this briskly workable, if thoroughly conventional, domestic comedy."

"I don't know why she does it."

"The film is another hoary exploration of the pressures of modern womanhood."
