Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

James Dylan This film is directed by Helen Hunt, which makes sense, as she plays the 39 year-old "love interest" of Matthew Broderick and Colin Firth. Sadly, and no offense to Ms. Hunt, but viewers would have to be on drugs to see her as 39 years-old. In the film she looks much closer to 55. I would have enjoyed the film much more if the actor had been somewhat younger looking, and a bit more attractive. It's just a bit hard to imagine Matthew Broderick and Colin Firth fighting over Helen Hunt. Also, the woman she plays isn't the most delightful person, and I applauded Broderick's character dumping her in the first few minutes of the film. Much like I was happy Tom Hank's character was stuck on an island for years in Cast Away and avoided marriage to Helen Hunt's character. Lucky bastard.Anyway...the film is a chick-flick, and I watched it with a chick, who agreed that both the leading men would not be fighting over someone who looks like Helen Hunt, and especially not with her sour-puss, cheerless, sad-sack, basset hound attitude. Actually it's a bit of a boring film.

D Paterson-Watts Beautifully acted, Hunt and Firth both shine in portraying the difficult situations that their characters are faced with. The film doesn't shy away from the reality that life is imperfect, as are humans. Both main characters are deeply flawed, but they are also both wonderful in their own way. Midler shines and adds many comic moments.All in all, from a film which we expected little, this film made us feel and sympathise deeply for the characters, and deserves a far higher rating than it's been given, if only for the fact that it shys away from certain Hollywood rubbish...when the characters are sad and at the point of breaking, there is no make up and it lets you see them as they would be...Ultimately, if you consider yourself an empath, then watch this film, it will reward you handsomely

gelman@attglobal.net If "Then She Found Me" got any real notice when it came out, it certainly passed by me. I didn't know what to expect when I chose the streaming video version, mainly because I've always liked Helen Hunt, and she's backed by a pretty impressive cast. Although it's certainly no blockbuster, the film is well worth seeing. Since it is immediately disclosed, I don't feel I'm spoiling anything in saying that Hunt plays the part of an adopted woman whose marriage at age 39 fails almost immediately because her groom (Matthew Broderick) is completely immature. Hunt's character (April Hepner) is unexpectedly confronted by her birth mother (Bette Midler) and also finds herself in a potentially romantic relationship with Frank (Colin Firth), a single father with two children whose wife left the family to travel around the world with her lover. April desperately wants to have a child, and time is quickly running out. Complications ensue on several fronts -- with her birth mother, with the husband from whom she is separated, and with Frank and Frank's kids. Hunt directed this film and co-wrote the script. Although she's a little old to be 39 again, she's still slim, beautiful, a skilled comic actress and believable in a serious, emotionally wrenching role. I can't give the movie more than a 6 but I liked it. The ending, which I won't describe, is plausible but a little too abrupt. However, I'll concede that filling the gap could not have been done quickly. And that's a potent argument for ending it without an explanation as they chose to do.

simona gianotti One of the best thing of summer TV, is that deprived of all trash programs, it offers a variety of movies. "Then she found me" is certainly no masterpiece, but it is a pleasant and heartwarming movie for a summer night, leaving the viewer with positive feelings. The cast helps in the positive perception of the story: Helen Hunt is here April, a New York schoolteacher, an almost forty year old woman, coming to terms with difficult situations and with a constantly frustrated desire of motherhood. Let's admit she is a little too haggard, and suffering, I mean, not all almost forty years old women with no children are that depressed and crabby, but she proves the good actress she always is, and she gets to convey the need to realize something in her life. The subject is probably very dear to the actress (and also director), who said this movie was ten years in the making and was probably very significant to her. Colin Firth, needless to say, would make every sensitive woman fall in love with him with just a single glance, and the role of a divorced father proves suitable for him, Bett Midler proves funny and intelligent. The script sounds sometimes a little melodramatic and unreal, but it is part of this kind of heartwarming movies. I will not spoil anything, let only say that the finale, although predictable, reveals an unexpected note, and sounds really moving.
