are many surprises here and probably best seen without even seeing the trailer. I will say there's a strong Jewish theme that the novel this was based on had and Hunt saw no reason to change that. In fact, atonement is very big in the Jewish faith. It starts off with her getting married to Matthew Broderick and we quickly find out that he's totally pathetic and selfish.Hunt gets outstanding performances from Colin Firth and Bette Midler whose own characters have their own baggage that Hunt's character is forced to deal with. That in itself is what makes "Then She Found Me" so refreshing. We human beings are so imperfectly perfect and the issues the players here play with are quite believable. On top of everything else, Helen Hunt's character has a baby time clock and she's no longer a spring chicken.As an actress, she is as good as she was in "As Good As It Gets". Actually, there is some "borrowed" dialog towards the ending from that, but that's a moot point. It's perfectly acceptable to repeat what one has done before especially if it was done well. How many times has Woody Allen copied himself and seems to get more self centered each time? With this film, Helen Hunt has proved a woman can also make an excellent film of fractured relationships, a genre he did help invent.In closing, I do hope this film gets the attention it deserves. Like a lot of geeks, I sit through a lot of films and most disappoint or I find myself looking at my watch. Not so with this one, I found this to be very insightful and entertaining.

doesn't ruin the movie. It just doesn't enhance it. It doesn't fit with the TONE they were so careful with. Its like a great song by Coldplay insert any band you like and then for the last four seconds they tack on a Christmas jingle.You could fix this movie with one day of re-shoots and it would be a KEEPER. If i had to sell this movie i would think of it as MOONSTRUCK meets NOTTING HILL. I don't know if i would lead with that but i would use it as base for creating a marketing campaign and to communicate its two strongest features; LIGHT HUMOUR perfectly executed and NAKED DESIRE subtly displayed.

did a great job. One of the coolest moments during the movie was, during one scene, something happened and the entire audience all groaned at the same time. We were all in it together. We were all bought in. We all cared about what happened to the characters in the movie and we were moved. This movie was not predictable, there was no formula. It was refreshing. I absolutely recommend this movie to everyone!

This movie has Oscar written all over it.

out to Hunt and the whole team. It is so refreshing to watch a movie which has something to say.

when he finally realizes she is in sexy nightwear, they make love before he walks out, due to raging hormones. The next day, April's mother dies. Needless to say, April is in turmoil. Yet, in short order, she makes the acquaintance of Frank Colin Firth , the father of one of her students, Jimmie Ray. Poor Frank has also had the bad luck to have his wife run off with an globe-trotting artist, leaving him as the custodial parent to Jimmie Ray and little Ruby. Before they even realize what is happening, April and Frank start a tentative relationship. Then, unbelievably, April learns she is pregnant, with Ben's child and that her birth mother, Bernice Bette Midler , a television talk show hostess, wants to enter her life again. In a tornado of emotional stress, such as this, how will April begin her life again? This is a lovely, sharply-drawn look at the human condition. It features wonderful performances all around, under Hunt's careful direction. Hunt herself gives a beautifully nuanced turn as the good-hearted but confused April while Broderick does a great job as the repugnant Ben. Midler is also a pleasure to watch as a woman with a thousand secrets. As for Firth, is doubtful anyone could have played his role better, as his handsome face, arresting voice, and charming nature make Frank a very memorable creature. All of the flick's production niceties, such as costumes, sets, and photography, are terrific, too. Want more? After an amazing story, the ending will have any viewer in happy tears. In brief, do find this lovely movie in the near future. You will be clapping and cheering with your fellow viewers at film's end.

her just rubbed me the wrong way in the movies I have seen her in. But then, I saw this movie and I loved it and she did a terrific job in her production.Seriously. All these people who are criticizing her are slamming her for the wrong reasons. Why? This is one of those FEW films in life in which it's neither the director, writer, or actor's fault. If there is any downside, it's the editor's fault. Yes, it is.Why? Because the editor chopped up the scenes. In the editing room, a director can become a genius or a fool. This is one of those cases. I do not fault Helen's direction. I fault the editor here. Some of these scenes should have been allowed to breathe on their own, not jump cut from one emotion to the next.Despite that editing distraction, this chick flick has heart, it does have emotion. How do I know this? I heard a lot of sniffling, tears of sorrow and joy in the audience when this film ended. That is what a film is suppose to do, make you feel something, be a participant, not a witness.

effects. What is so great about THEN SHE FOUND ME is what Helen Hunt has directed, written and acted, in taking her audience on a journey with a character which seems so real to what many friends today are experiencing in wanting happiness and a self fulfilling life, after experiencing heartache. Bravo, Helen Hunt, we are still, and always will be, "Mad About You..."

nothing provided except to imply he was a momma's boy. Broderick balanced that with his unique uncomfortableness as well as his great sense of comic timing. I enjoyed the movie a great deal and feel it will do very well because it showcases human relationships and the fact that there's always more than one side to every story.
