Having been there and done that, i cannot agree with the reviews panning this movie.....
There is a lot of truth and déjà vu in this film for every mother that has ever tried to juggle two full time jobs (career and home) - even if not on Wall Street.
Sarah Jessica Parker (and a truly wonderful supporting cast) warmed my heart with her tireless efforts to live up to the role of perfect mother while desperately clinging to the facade of cool professional who carries no "baggage" with her to work and is the equal, if not superior, to her male colleague lurking in the shadows waiting for the opportunity to pounce and reap the spoils at the first sign of a slip-up.
This is the story of a strong woman who keeps her eye on the (both) prize(s)and does so with humor and panache - and I love her for it.
I can foresee that her character will still be juggling those roles even when her kids are in their 30's and doing their own juggling acts. I know I am.
