Raising Helen

Raising Helen is a 2004 movie starring Kate Hudson. It revolves around Helen Harris, an executive assistant for the President of a powerful modeling agency in Manhattan. She works hard and fixes every little crisis that happens on modeling shoots and within the office. After work, she goes out to clubs to socialize with her clientele while also being young and having fun. Helen's content little world suddenly changes when her sister Lindsay and brother in law Paul die in a car accident. Helen and her other sister Jenny learn Lindsay & Paul left Helen in charge of their three kids: 15-year-old Audrey, 10-year-old Henry, and five-year-old Sarah. Convinced she can raise the kids and maintain her already fast-paced schedule, Helen quickly finds herself burnt out and disheartened by her responsibilities and Jenny's lack of faith.

Raising Helen contains examples of:

 * Hey, It's That's Gal/Guy!: Audrey, Henry and Sarah look uncannily like Claire Bennet, Captain Crandall and Little Miss Sunshine, their mother is/was Lynette Scavo, their school principal is Aidan Shaw, and Helen works for Queen Elizabeth II.
 * Promotion to Parent: Jenny in the Backstory.
 * Replacement Goldfish: Helen replaces Henry's turtle when it dies.
