Title: Better than the book, really for working moms and those watching
Review: Read the book and cried and cried. Mommy in the book does EVERYTHING wrong - is competitive with stay at home moms, doesn't ask husband to do anything, blurts out that her husband doesn't make much money, cheats on husband, has her baby sitter and cleaning lady boss her around, and SPOILER ALERT - QUITS WORKING like its something a heroine should do. As a working mother with high stress job and whining/fighting children dying for my attention, it was the most disappointing message ever.This movie ending is much more palatable. But movie version really lost all the funny British humor and quotable lines from the book which actually read like a tragic/comedy to me, so 4 stars only. And yes, i can see what I look like to my colleagues at work now. I scratch my head sometimes wondering i have gotten lice too.Anyhow, life goes on. Cheers to all moms out there.
