Then She Found Me has some great actors, Helen Hunt, Colin Firth, Bette Midler,
and Matthew Broderick. This might make you think that this is going to be a good film. It is not. Then She Found Me is somewhat entertaining but this film is lacking in many ways.
April Epner (Helen Hunt) is married to fellow schoolteacher Ben Green (Matthew Broderick) and longs to have a baby before her advancing age prevents her dream. April was adopted as an infant by a Jewish couple who subsequently gave birth to April's brother Freddy (Ben Shenkman). April's busy life implodes: Ben has decided he doesn't like his life and leaves April, April's mother dies, April meets Frank (Colin Firth) a recently divorced writer and father of two children, and April is contacted by a man who can put April in touch with her birth mother - popular TV talk show hostess Bernice Graves (Bette Midler). And if these turns of events weren't traumatic enough, April discovers that she has become pregnant by Ben and Ben is unsure whether he can handle the restructuring of his life to accommodate April.
This film could be okay for some, but it was not for me. All actors looked really old and decrepit. Never has Helen Hunt looked so tired, her normal slim figure now just skinny, her bland face turning stern. Colin Firth looked fat and old, while Matthew Broderick had white hair and a huge stomach. Who decided on having Salman Rushdie playing April's ob/gym?
I do not recommend this movie. There are many better to watch.
