Then She Found Me

Then She Found Me (2008) starring Helen Hunt, Colin Firth, Bette Midler, Matthew Broderick. Directed by Helen Hunt. After her husband (Broderick) leaves her and her adoptive mother dies, April Lepner (Hunt) is accosted by a stranger (Midler) who claims to be her birth mother. After April falls for a new guy named Frank (Firth), she learns that she is pregnant -- by her ex-husband. It's a wish come true, but a complicated situation. This is a fairly amusing little movie, but certainly not one for the ages. Hunt's attempt to star in and direct a film produces mixed results, and the movie seems very ragged in tone. Hunt herself is less than spectacular. (Subtitles for the hearing-impaired are provided. They are adequate, which is good since closed captions are not offered.) Grade: B
