Kate Reddy is a busy gal! She has an extremely stressful job as a financial executive and at the same time finds she is the primary bread winner for her family which includes her husband Richard and their two kids. Women in the workplace have found themselves to be under appreciated and that their employers have over expectations for them. Less pay for equal work load has been a common complaint and women often do even more than their male counterparts. Give that working mom the added burden of having a spouse that's out of a job and a total of four mouths to feed and you can see how stressed Kate Reddy is. llison Pearson is the author of a best selling book on which this movie is based (and named) after. It centers around Kate's devotion to her family and her love of the high powered job she needs. Sarah Jessica Parker plays successful women well and this time she is spot on as Kate! Greg Kinnear (As Good As It Gets) is Richard Reddy, her hubby and Pierce Brosnan (The Thomas Crown Affair) the boss. Also look for Kelsey Grammer and Jane Curtin."
