Helen Harris (Kate Hudson) is living the life she's always dreamed of: her career at a top modelling 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: fifteen-year-old Audrey (Hayden Panettiere), ten-year-old Henry (Spencer Breslin), and five-year-old Sarah (Abigail Breslin). No one doubts that Helen is the coolest aunt in New York City, but what does this glamor 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 Portman (Joan Cusack), is only too quick to dish out. Along the way, Helen finds support in the most unusual place, with Dan Parker (John Corbett), 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.
Leave your thoughts about Raising Helen.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenBegs for attention like a homeless puppy. |

| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesIt isn't great, but, with Kate Hudson, it's cute enough. |
| Eclipse MagazineSean O'ConnellAs predictable as a book you've already read twice. |
| SPLICEDWireRob BlackwelderDespite having several strikes against it - Hudson, Marshall, the outward appearance of cloying sentimentalism - the movie defeated my natural cynicism by being, well, natural |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereThis sort of film thrives on chemistry, and Hudson and Corbett make it sparkle. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelPhoebe FlowersIt's the rare chick-geared movie that is predictable without being boring and touching without being cloying. |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinMarshall, who seems to specialize in affability, breaks no new ground and doesn't do much with the old soil he tills. |
