Berry, in her Oscar-winning part in Monster's Ball, plays a woman who falls in love with a recovering white racist. After Berry learns that her new love also happens to be the man who executed her husband, she puts up some token resistance, then meekly sticks with him.

Sarah, 41, a marketing consultant, has been firing on all cylinders since 7 a.m., getting the kids off to school and then juggling phones, e-mail, paperwork and a lengthy strategy meeting. Her husband Jim, 47, has lumbered home after another taxing day as an attorney with American Electric Power Co. Will, 6, and Henry, 4, are antsy for parental attention. As usual, no one has had time to cook. What's a time-crunched family...
