Not compelling like the book, mildly funny
7 February 2014
The book is actually very good and I encourage anyone to read it. It is a compelling story of a woman facing enormous pressure in her personal and professional life and the stress she encounters trying to address these challenges. The movie dumbs this all down, with a saccharine, occasionally funny look at the working woman. It's not terribly bad to watch if nothing else is available, but if you are seeking insight into the challenges a modern woman faces go elsewhere.

If you want a mildly funny somewhat feel good movie and don't want to pay or Amazon or order on Netflix, consider this.

Someone else could definitely remake the book into a serious look at modern England and American.
