The title phrase of I Don’t Know How She Does It is lobbed repeatedly at intrepid working mom heroine Kate Reddy (Sarah Jessica Parker, who also provides a Sex and the City -style pontifical voiceover) throughout this alleged comedy, sometimes in celebration, sometimes out of envy or condescension. Inherent in it is a swirl of self-doubt and competition. To be a mother, director Douglas McGrath’s film suggests, is to be in the constant grip of guilt and judgment, worried that you’re not giving enough, convinced that others are doing things better or more correctly than you, soothed when they appear to be doing worse.
