Olivia Munn interview on I Don’t Know How She Does It

Olivia Munn interview on I Don't Know How She Does It
Sarah Jessica Parker, Olivia Munn, Greg Kinnear, Pierce Brosnan, and Christina Hendricks star in I Don’t Know How She Does It, a comedy from director Douglas McGrath (Emma, Infamous). Based on the critically acclaimed bestseller by Allison Pearson, I Don’t Know How She Does It follows a Boston-based working mother trying desperately to juggle marriage, children, and a high-stress job. Here’s a synopsis:

Kate Reddy (Parker) devotes her days to her job with a Boston-based financial management firm. At night she goes home to her adoring, recently-downsized architect husband Richard (Kinnear) and their two young children. It’s a non-stop balancing act, the same one that Kate’s acerbic best friend and fellow working mother Allison (Christina Hendricks) performs on a daily basis, and that Kate’s super-brainy, child-phobic young junior associate Momo (Olivia Munn) fully intends to avoid. When Kate gets handed a major new account that will require frequent trips to New York, Richard also wins the new job he’s been hoping for—and both will be spreading themselves even thinner. Complicating matters is Kate’s charming new business associate Jack Abelhammer (Brosnan), who begins to prove an unexpected source of temptation.

Watch the interview below with Olivia Munn as she talks about the film and her role as Momo. She also sheds some light on her own aspirations in life. Get tickets to “I Don’t Know How She Does It” on Fandango or movietickets.com.

At a young age Tyrus learned to paint and draw, when he arrived to America he studied hard to build a career out of something he loved to do.
