She is also married to the show's co-host, Eddie Diaz (Diego Serrano). When Grace's pregnancy is announced on the air--to both her and Eddie's surprise--it suddenly captures national attention as the show shifts gears to center around the impending birth in an outrageous ratings gimmick. After her daughter's birth, Grace deals with the issues so many working mothers face: Does she return to work or stay home with her daughter? As her husband's acting career takes off, Grace finds herself overwhelmed. Meanwhile, her new assistant, Madeline Labelle (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), and her husband, Roy (Wendell Pierce), have switched the traditional roles: She is the breadwinner, while he is the stay-at-home parent. Nancy Savoca (DOGFIGHT, TRUE LOVE) subtly directs this story of the struggles the modern family faces in juggling children, careers, and spouses. Watch for Patti Lupone as Joan Marshall, the morning show's tough-as-nails producer. [More]

Reviews for The 24 Hour Woman
Savoca's Sundance-premiered film is timely, dealing with women's problems in balancing career, marriage, and family, but it's poorly executed and monotonously acted by Rosie Perez, who comes across as hysterical and shrill.
