These humorous spoofs posted of the new Sarah Jessica Parker 'I Don't Know How She Does It' rom-com will bring the LOLs! It always seems that the most unintiriguing movies paint the town with posters at every block, and this SJP "classic" is no exception. The original poster has the former Carrie Bradshaw standing next to a long, but seemingly normal list of chores with the accompanying movie title "I Don't Know How She Does It," which the folks at Huffington Post find more than a little amusing.
The parody site took the generic working mom list filled with tasks like "do laundry, pay bills, check email" and transformed it into a satirical commentary about the life of a housewife with tasks like "Google ex-boyfriend," learn Hindi," and my personal favorite, "She has a personal assistant and no life of her own!"
Implications - Romantic comedies are often perceived as repetitive and formulaic, particularly by male moviegoers. The formula is an easy target for parodies from skits to posters and viral videos, who use the impact of this genre on pop culture to relate to both their fans and haters.
