Editorial Review:
Academy Award(R) nominee Kate Hudson (Best Supporting Actress, ALMOST FAMOUS, 2000; HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS) lights up the screen with John Corbett (MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING) in this hit romantic comedy from the director of THE PRINCESS DIARIES and PRETTY WOMAN! Helen Harris (Hudson) has a glamorous, big-city life ... working for one of New York's hottest modeling agencies. But suddenly her free-spirited life gets turned upside down when she must chose between the life she’s always loved ... and the new loves of her life! Also starring Joan Cusack (IN & OUT), RAISING HELEN is a laugh-filled treat you're sure to fall in love with!
Description of Raising Helen (Widescreen Edition):
Kate Hudson wrestles with unlikely motherhood in Raising Helen, a comedy directed with the smooth professionalism of Garry Marshall, the man who brought us such cinematic fairy tales as Pretty Woman and The Princess Diaries. Helen (Hudson, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) is an adorable hipster whose swift rise up the fashion industry ladder gets sideswiped when she finds herself responsible for raising three children, left in her care by the untimely death of one of her sisters. It's a standard frivolous-girl-grows-up story with an uneven script, but solidly performed by Hudson, John Corbett (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), ever-sexy Helen Mirren (Calendar Girls), and especially Joan Cusack (In and Out, Addams Family Values), who takes an obnoxious, uptight suburban mom and makes her the movie's emotional core. It's a miracle of acting alchemy; Cusack is one of contemporary comedy's most crucial performers. --Bret Fetzer
Raising Helen (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
Raising Helen Review 
2009-09-21 - Good Video, doesnt play in some DVD players, but speedy shipping and in good condition. Not in an actual case : /
bad communication 
2009-04-06 - The DVD was fine. But I did not receive a case. That was not mentioned in the information when I ordered it. Not only did I want a case, but it alarmed me. I was worried the DVD was an illegal copy.
Good Condition and on time 
2009-02-06 - The product was as exactly as the seller said and it came in on time.
Raising Helen .. DVD
2008-12-01 - My DVD arrived in excellent condition in a timely manner. Thank you so much.
Don't waste your time! 
2008-10-30 - Aside from the extremely predictable plot, bad acting on almost everyone's part, and unbelievable behavior on the part of the pastor, this movie has little to redeem it. In fact, after watching it once, I quickly gave it away. Don't waste your time.
