Helen is living the life she has always wanted: working at a top modeling agency, living in New York city and enjoying life with fashion shows and nights out at the best clubs in town. Everything seems to be going just the way it’s supposed to be, but then she receives a terrible phone call. Her sister and brother-in-law died in a car accident. Her life is getting upside down when custody over their three children is left with Helen. Will she manage to change her life drastically to actually raise those three children, instead of being just a cool aunt? | ||||||||

Again a sweet movie with a happy ending. But although most of the Pink Popcorn Friday movies have something in common, every movie still has its own sparkle. It’s own unique aspect which gives you a different story every week, but the same happy and warm feeling inside.
This happens with Raising Helen as well. It would be horrible to lose your parents at such a young age in a car accident, but then being raised by your cool aunt isn’t actually that bad. It’s like going on a sleep-over for quite a while, but at some point the children need a little more than that. It’s nice to see how the children are handling the loss of their parents in their own way, and Helen helping them in their process. This movie isn’t so much about pointing out the love between a man and a woman, but more the importance of having a family and the strong love between the family members. | ||||||||

I really appreciate movies that show the importance of family. I feel that family is something that is taken granted by almost everyone.

I love Kate Hudson. I think she is doing an awesome job in following in her mothers footsteps.
As far as this movie goes, I thought it did a wonderful job in showing how one’s reality is subjective, and can change at a moments notice. I think I would hate being a mother but if it was thrust upon me, I would hope that I too could exhibit this type of heart and strength….
This movie is definitely worth the popcorn.
I really love Kate Hudson too. This movie was definitely fairly decent. I saw Fool’s Gold a few weeks ago and really liked it too. Matthew McConaughey is really great too.
