In I Don't Know How She Does It, Kate Reddy devotes her days to her job with a Boston-based financial management firm.
At night she goes home to her adoring, recently-downsized architect husband Richard and their two young children.
It's a non-stop balancing act, the same one that Kate's acerbic best friend and fellow working mother Allison performs on a daily basis, and that Kate's super-brainy, child-phobic young junior associate Momo fully intends to avoid.
When Kate gets handed a major new account that will require frequent trips to New York, Richard also wins the new job he's been hoping for - and both will be spreading themselves even thinner.
Complicating matters is Kate's charming new business associate Jack Abelhammer, who begins to prove an unexpected source of temptation.
I Don't Know How She Does It stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Pierce Brosnan, Kelsey Grammer, Olivia Munn and Christina Hendricks.
The film is scheduled to open in New Zealand cinemas November 3.
