Round the Clock
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Nancy Savoca's The 24-Hour Woman (1999) is the first of this year's Sundance crop to make it to the Bay Area. Rosie Perez stars as a program director of a high-stress daily TV show who finds herself pregnant. Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays a working mother who takes a job on the show while her husband minds the kids. The movie is a welcome look at working mothers and the choices available to them, but it has trouble making its various subplots jell. The talented Jean-Baptiste (Secrets & Lies) has very little to do, and Perez's pretty-boy husband (Diego Serrano) is annoying. Some people find Perez hard to take, but she's very good here in a worthy role.
