June 23, 2011Another great film from Kate Hudson! Heart wrenching yet heart warming at the same time!

April 10, 2011Another money vehicle for Kate Hudson, only Joan Cusack makes it any level of watchable. Full review later.

July 7, 2010Wow, I?m surprising myself with this one! I am definitely delving into the Chick Flick area here ? am I softening, no, it just appeared on tv and had to see how it ended, despite it being totally predictable. Made for easy watching, a not so bad no-brainer.

April 14, 2007Great warmth, romance and laugher with Kate Hudson as a hard-working fashion executive is turned upside when she's unexpectedly named guardian of her late sister's three troublesome kids!

This ode to the most stifling aspects of family and motherhood make you feel like the hicks have all uprooted themselves and moved into the front office at Touchstone. Full Review

Mike Clark, USA Today
Almost nothing about Raising Helen rings very true, other than the camera's crush on Kate Hudson. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Even those who seek the undemanding entertainment of life troubles being bravely dealt with might end up wishing they were given more than just sitcom resolutions. Full Review

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
Far from the worst cookie-cutter film to come off the Hollywood assembly line, merely the latest. Full Review

Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
It's a painless, affably sentimental comedy that would make a popular TV series -- and probably will become one. Full Review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Like tumbling into chick-flick hell.

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
[Marshall] evidently finds the film's premise to be outrageously funny. Some viewers -- especially those who have looked out a window in the last 20 years -- may understandably be less impressed. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Does its inoffensive comedy bit. It's all professional, predictable, by the numbers. Full Review

Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
Can't decide whether it's a romance, a fish-out- of-water flick, a teen-parent conflict story, or a tale of sibling rivalry and reconciliation, and therefore fails at each.
