As she tries to juggle the responsibilities of her new quasi-parenthood with the effects on her lifestyle (like moving with the kids to Queens) and her job, she also befriends a local pastor, Dan (Corbett), who falls in love with her.  Critic Reviews Grade : B- Seattle Post-Intelligencer : there's no doubt that Hudson herself has the stuff of a star. The camera loves her, she's got an instinctive flair for comedy and, as formulaic and forgettable as this movie is, she makes good company for a couple of hours in the dark.   more Grade : C ReelViews : Nevertheless, it's impossible to deny that Raising Helen is a near clone of Jersey Girl. There are three significant differences: the main character in Raising Helen is a woman, there are three children instead of one, and the re-location in this film is from New Jersey to New York City, rather than the other way around.   more Grade : D+ Cincinnati Enquirer : The only characters in Raising Helen who reveal any glimmer of realistic life are the kids - particularly Hayden Panettiere as the resentful teen sister of two younger siblings - and Helen Mirren as movie-Helen's dragon lady of a boss.    more Grade : C- New York Times : Raising Helen, a soft-hearted, squishy-minded prototype for a network sitcom, is mildly ingratiating but never laugh-out-loud funny. Even Ms. Hudson's intrepid radiance can't camouflage the premise's leaky foundation.    more   For rating reasons : filmrating.com, mpaa.com                                    For Parents : Parentalguide.com
