I just didn't know what movie I should choose when suddenly, without any plan before, I ended up in RedBox again. RedBox is on of a movie rental rent in Tembalang, Semarang, Indonesia. It was because I thought I was going to die soon considering there's nothing to do in Tembalang while everybody was already in their own comfortable safe home. I know people are going to call me, Lebay -,- but...let me tell you my condition first yaw. Oke, we can call it as uhm 'curhat dulu'.
Just right after a week I got back to Jakarta, I needed to go back to Semarang again because I had to attend 2 days meeting for BEM. Ciyeeeee Nadia chie naqs BEM :3 Oh pleaseeeee~ Unfortunately, when I came back, my friends were already back to their hometown too. Beneran deh ya, not only TI-narian friends but also my senior high friends, my junior high friends who are in Undip too, they all left. Yeah maybe there were several people that stayed, but I was sure it because they got something to do. What bout me? I had 5 don't-know-what-to-do days.
Okay! Cukup Nad curhatnya. Yuk mare kita mulai aja. Please take a seat and prepare your popcorn. Yum!
I Don't Know How She Does It is a movie for women especially working mom or maybe decided to be a working mom someday. And it also important for the men knowing how to deal with a kind of woman like this. The genre is comedy so it's an easy thinking movie but has a deep meaning for me. It focuses on Kate Reddy (Sarah Jessica Parker). Tau SJP kan? Itu loh yang main Sex and The City. As for me sih filmnya yang paling well-known ya itu. For those who still saying, "Hah? SJP? Siapanya DePe sama JuPe tuh?" Oh please guys, sometimes you need to change your channel into HBO or Fox Movies -,- jangan kebanyakan nonton inpoteinmen deh~ Udah yaaa, tau yaaa who SJP is. Go googling then!
Kate is a working mom. She really do love her job as a manager finance consultant (kalo ga salah) but in the other hand she has 2 beautiful kids at home, Emily and Ben. FYI, The cast for Ben is actually a twin. Disini itu ceritanya si Kate adalah seorang ibu yang bisa mengerjakan semuanya dengan baik, both work or house chores. Karena ini film komedi, pasti ya ga standard2 aja gitu filmnya. Di film ini dibuat kayak ada interview gitu dari karakter-karakter lain di film ini mengenai si Kate Reddy. Terutama sih dari assistant, rival nya di kantor, dan sahabatnya pastinya. Sahabatnya, Allison Henderson (Christina Hendricks), adalah seorang single mom. Terus kalo assistantnya ini si Momo Hahn (Olivia Munn) is not a friendly person but very smart so si Kate betah-betah aja sama dia. What about her rival? Ya sebagaimana seorang rival lah ya, Chris Bunce (Seth Meyers), si Kate ga suka sama dia soalnya dia itu katanya selalu merebut kesempatan terakhir dari usaha seseorang and then he take all the grants gitu pft -_- curang banget kan. That's why Kate hates him. Tapi tetep aja siiih, Kate selalu menang tiap ada tugas bagus dari si bos Clark Cooper (Kelsey Grammer). And that's all the galauness starts.
Si boss Clark asks Kate to go to New York to meet Jack Abelhammer (Pierce Brosnan). Si Pierce ini biar udah tua tetep aja ganteng luuuh :3 He's a single-workaholic man. Nah, meeting Jack is a good chance for her to get achievements on her carrier. Instead of choosing Bunce to go to New York, boss Clark chooses Kate because her proposal that sent to Jack is interesting enough to please him. Gituuu, intinya mah pinteran Kate gitu daripada si Bunce. Nah disini lah pertemuan Kate sama Jack yang akhirmya mereka jadi tim kerja yang baik. Lama kelamaan si Jack jadi suka gitu deeehhh.
Ehiya daritadi belum cerita keluarganya, bahkan suaminya Kate aja belum dikenalin ya? Uuuu cian~ Kate's husband, Richard Reddy (Greg Kinnear), is also a working man. Lupa ya dia kerja apa, tapi dari yang sepercik gue inget sih kerjaannya juga udah bagus gitulah. Can't you imagine this family, parents are working and the children are still kids. Actually it's a common thing ya, therefore we can see the lesson from it. The first lesson I take from this movie is from Kate's mom, she said "You guys never blame at eachother. If there's something wrong, it must be everybody's mistake". Yaaa ga begitu juga sih tepat kata-katanya tapi intinya begitu. I think that is the point for working couple who already have kids suppose to think to overcome their problem.
Singkat cerita ya si Kate ini makin sering bolak balik New York - Boston buat ngurusin masalah kerjaan dia sama Jack. Even she misses thanksgiving. And suddenly she gets a call from her husband that Ben is sick. She directly flies back to Boston. Puncaknya ya, there's another task from Clark that she has to go out of town again while in same time she already made a promise with her girl, Emily, that by the first snow falls, we will make a snowman together, Gitu janjinya. Disitulah dilemma nya. She said she can't but she can do the job in another day, she let Clark to fire her but she sad she would never quit and give up for her job because she really love her job. And yaaa as I predict, Clark lets her go and doesn't fire her either.
"At work, when you act like 'one of the boys', they call you abrasive and difficult. So, if you act like a woman, they say you're emotional and difficult. So, difficult is really just the word for anything that isn't a man." - Allison Henderson
"I love being a mother of a two-year old. It is like being a movie star in a world without critics." - Kate Reddy
Actually sih ceritanya terlalu 'biasa' gitu ya. Udah sering kita temui di kehidupan sehari-hari. Tapi justru disini loh kita bisa dapet point kehidupannya :) asyemeleeeeh. Nah karena jokes-jokes nya dan juga acting konyol si SJP yang suka muncul ga terduga itu yang bikin film ini menarik dan ga bosen ditonton. Walaupun ga terlalu bikin penasaran banget sih buat tau akhirnya gimana. Film jenis begini kan emang ga butuh banyak mikir dan ga butuh banyak kritikan juga dari viewers nya karena gampang ketebak akhirnya begimana dan kita cuma disuruh buat yaaa nikmatin aja gitu, Ya pasti happy ending lah yaaa. But there's one thing that matter in real life but easily to be overcomed in this movie is finding nanny for the kids. Beneran loh ya ini, sebagaimana peengalaman pribadi dari Tante, doi sama suaminya sama-sama kerja, dan kerjaan doi juga udah bagus banget. Tapi yang sering jadi masalah adalah ketika pembantunya itu sering kabur tanpa pamit atau ga bener lah ngurus anak-anaknya. Terus juga di film ini anak-anaknya seems fine aja gitu alias ga nakal. Nah kalo tante gue ini anak pertamanya super duper active and I have to resist deh if I asked to look after him. Hiiii capek banget, fyuh ga mau diem. The point is, Life isn't as easy as it seen in the movie. Although it has the same matter.
The lesson I take from this movie is about how great a working mom is. Kate in this movie is really magical. She can divide a good portion of her time and thought to work and family. It isn't about the quantity but quality time she successfully gives. And also! Nah ini dia, how lucky she is, having Richard as her husband who really really understands her. They do fighting. But no yelling at eachother. They can be a perfect couple through their imperfection. Richard is also a good father, caring for his children and willing to do house chores too. He's so one in a million <3 font="">
