  BRAVO! Colin Firth was GREAT & Cudos for Helen Hunt's directing debut!

  by AngieCim

  This was a surprisingly good movie once Colin Firth stepped onto the scene. It was nice to see him actually have more than a couple scenes in which he actually gets to act, show vulnerability and engage in some very steamy love scenes - as well as loving family dad scenes. Worth the price of admission just to see that . . . However, I must add that Helen Hunt's directing debut was absolutely right on!
  
  Sorry - I cannot say the same for her acting in this role - it really seems she was miscast as well as Mathew Broderick. No excuses - can't save money making a movie by throwing the baby out with the bath water. Luckily - Colin Firth, as well as Bette Midler, created enough magic to make this movie really entertaining! They delivered rock-sold acting - Bravo! I really enjoyed it!

  Way to Go, Helen!

  by

  I would like to point out for those who are dense: Helen Hunt produced and directed this movie. She helped write the screenplay--and she was NOT miscast. I LOVE that she doesn't look like a piece of plastic and that you can actually see the lines on her face. She has a gorgeous heart and a wonderful talent. If you don't want to see wrinkles, go to an action or sci-fi flick, people!!
  Colin Firth was amazing. His vulnerabilities were portrayed with subtle grace. I was initially questioning whether Bette Midler was appropriate b/c she tends to irritate me--but she was thoughtful and precise-something I have never seen from her. Matthew Broderick also gave a fine performance.
  Though there were some parts of the film that could have used better editing--I thought it was an inspiring and very touching story.
  I think the tone of the film was near-perfect and very true. I recommend it to those who appreciate the difficulties of mature relationships-romantic or otherwise.

  Then She Found Me

  by Icemall

  As much as I liked this movie. It was a bit (not depressing )to real for my taste. I guess I'm not a
  big fan of that kind of drama. The old if its not one thing its another. But having said that, Helen
  Hunt was really good in her role. Bette Midler played Bette Midler not bad. If you like watching
  other people and their problems by all means go see it.

  Very relatable

  by chrisijb

  As a single 40 year old woman I could really relate to the lead in this film. Helen Hunt gave an excellent nuanced performance. Colin Firth was also great as her love interest (and is that even relative? - I could watch him read the phone book and be pleased.) This film won't be for everyone, but for those who enjoy character based stories you will enjoy this one. The plot is based on a complex, difficult and pivotal time for the lead character and the choices she is faced with are very real for a lot of people. I will watch this movie again.

  enjoyed this film

  by nikkita1500

  I think women will like this film. What a great cast. It kept my attention the whole time, it was just about the right length. The R rating is just because there's a few f-bombs thrown out and some clothes-on love scenes. There's some witty dialog so I laughed quite a few times.
  P.S. Anyone who said they didn't like this movie because you could see Helen Hunt's wrinkles needs a reality check!

  Very Well Done

  by TMapou

  The movie started out a little slow, but it didn't take that long to pick up the pace. Helen Hunt gave a typically excellent performance. Bette Midler was Better Midler--crude, loud, obnoxious and, most of all, very entertaining. Colin Firth was delightful and charming. Overall, it was a nice and warm story about a woman's new relationships during a very difficult period of her life--both with her birth mother and a new boyfriend--and it really kept me interested. The movie is not getting much hype, but I certainly recommend it.

  good enough

  by mommymoviebuff

  LOVED Colin Firth & Bette Midler, they stole the show...Helen Hunt was looking a little rough & was possibly miscast...hard to believe her character was 39 1/2 & there was NO chemistry between her & Matthew Broderick. But, dealing with her stupid choices (hello?? Matthew Broderick in a car when you have Colin Firth waiting for you??) and her infertility was probably stressful and nothing wrinkles you like stress & dehydration ;). A little too predictable for me, I love a happy ending, but not when I can tell how it will happen 20 minutes into the movie. Having said that, I was crying at the end anyway, so it gets a "Go" from me.

  Then She Found Me

  by mila_fandango

  I like the movie. Excellent acting of Helen Hunt. Movie depicts the realities of life which makes the movie interesting - divorce, mother's unselfish love and care for long-lost daughter, new boyfriend relationship, and adoption.

  Then She Found Me, was She lost?

  by gogirl

  This was a good girl movie. I give it a hot popcorn no butter. Helen Hunt directed and produced the movie so I assume she wanted to look like she she did. Bette Midler looked like she hasn't aged. Hunt looked really haggard.
  
  I liked the story, and how the characters developed. But the ending left some to the others in the audience confused. But, then that happens, doesn't it.

  Thought it was ok

  by April_LeAnn

  I love the actors in it...they did a really good job. They just didn't have much to work with. The story line was too good. I didn't mind renting it since I only spent $4 to see it.
