"Not to be Ministered Unto But to Minister"

This movie goes through the motions of challenging received knowledge, but it's mostly shadow boxing. Asserting a woman's right to pursue both a family and a career does not constitute a progressive agenda in 2003. The characters are mostly types -- with the exception of Maggie Gyllenhaal's performance.
