synopsis
Helen Harris is living the life she's always dreamed of: her career at a top modeling agency is on the rise; she spends her days at fashion shows and her nights at the city's hottest clubs. But her carefree lifestyle comes to a screeching halt when one phone call changes everything. Helen soon finds herself responsible for her sister's children: 15-year-old Audrey, 10-year-old Henry, and 5-year-old Sarah. No one doubts that Helen is the coolest aunt in New York, but what does this glamour girl know about raising kids? The fun begins as Helen goes through the transformation from super-hip to super-mom, but she quickly finds that dancing at 3a.m. doesn't mix with getting kids to school on time--advice that Helen's older sister, Jenny, is only too quick to dish out. Along the way, Helen finds support in the most unusual place--with Dan Parker, the handsome young pastor and principal of the kids' new school--and realizes the choice she has to make is between the life she's always loved and the new loves of her life.

The poster with Kate Hudson in those hideous Ugg boots suggests a cutesy, calculating load of girlish drool. The poster doesn't lie. The movie stars Hudson as a shallow wanna-be fashionista who gains maturity by raising her dead sister's three kids. Despite Joan Cusack, whose comic spark earns the film its only star, Raising Helen is like tumbling into chick-flick hell.
Raising Helen centers on a posh Manhattanite who suddenly finds herself playing mommy to her sister's kids after said sibling tragically dies. Despite this blatant pulling of heartstrings, the film still has some surprisingly tender moments. Story Helen Harris (Kate Hudson) is the quintessential Sex and the City single gal, with a fabulous job at a top modeling agency and a swingin' social life. But her carefree lifestyle comes to a screeching halt when her beloved oldest sister, Lindsay
