Then She Found Me

I have always been a huge fan of both Helen Hunt and Bette Midler so I thought that a movie with them together had to be a winner. Big mistake on my part! I was and still shocked by the screenplay's continual negative reference to international adoption. The movie's dialogue has constant commentary about "no, I don't want a Chinese baby". As an adoptive parent, I am painfully aware that not everyone understands my choice or how international adoption works but I found the commentary offensive. I cannot recommend this movie to anyone!

Bette Midler and Helen Hunt get the message across that it's not easy being a family but it's always possible no matter the circumstances. Together they put on a really great show, hope to see more of them.

her mom was someone knew herself after struggling a lot.
her daughter was still on the way like her two boy friends.
so did she find herself at the end?
I'm still wondering whether she did or not.
interesting movie for my age of near and over 40s.

This movie is so gosh awful it's hard to put in words.

The story is so scripted. No emotion or relaity in it at all.

Helen Hunt walks around looking like a total hag with a wrinkled brow (she looks well over 50 when she is supposed to be playing a 39 year old. And skinny! What happened to her?) I did not like her character at all. AT ALL!!

There is no chemistry between her character and Colin Firth's .. It's ridiculous. And I hated the way she treated her birth mother.

Can you tell me ONE possible motive for someone to lie about being someone's mother?? That is just stupid.

Bette Midler is lovely but I am embarrassed for her that she took part in this total dog of a film.

I rented that movie mainly because of Colin Firth. Well.. what was he doing in that boring movie? An actor of his calibre deserves much better roles than that. The story is not captivating at all, so much so that my husband slept half through it, and it's a miracle I watched it till the end...hoping for a miracle that din't happen. Such a disappointing movie!
