I was in a good mood when I went to this movie and had to walk out in the middle of it. If you are in love or happy, DON'T SEE IT! I should have asked for my money back.

A father encourages his son to take a risk by asking him to trust. But what happens when trust is suddenly removed? Sometimes, life comes tumbling down; for better or worse. Helen Hunt's directorial debut in "Then She Found Me" asks her audience to trust. Her potrayal of a middle-aged woman yearning to conceive leads the audience through a complexity of interpersonal relationships that come alive by sometimes placing an uncomfortable spotlight back on the viewer. Helen's own character's facade (thin, a bit frail, sans makeup) reminds us that life isn't always beautiful or predictable, but often stressful, complicated, and/or ironically humerous. The supporting cast (Bette Midler, Colin Firth, Matthew Broderick) all make fine contributions, without tipping the emotional canoe.I recommend this film to audiences that accept the challenges of life, but can travel its highway without a road sign posted every mile along the way.

The movie was directed by Helen Hunt. Why she kept herself as the main character star in this movie is beyond me. Helen Hunt looks too thin, masked any new creative interpretation of this main character while maintaining Helen Hunt's usual interpretation and style of acting. Bette Midler was refreshing as was Colin Firth. The story line was interesting but ruined by Helen Hunt's presence. Hang up the acting shoes, Helen.

This was one of the worst films I've seen to date. The acting was terrible, mediocre at best. There was no depth to the characters, nor to the relationships between the characters. Bette Midler brought some light to the screen but not enough to carry the film. The directing is stiff and the editing choppy. How this film has 4 stars is beyond comprehension.

Am I the only one that noticed the microphone throughout the entire movie. What was that about? How do u not see that in editing?

I was so dissapointed in this movie. I felt the acting was ok but the writing was poor and the dialogue was not believable.Even seemed akward at times.There were some smart moments that Helen Hunt tried to convey to the audience that I got but it didn't flow very well.It wasn't funny and I felt embarrassed for Bette Midler's character. I realize HH wanted to show realism in her characters but I couldn't get passed Bette Midlers puffy cosmetically enhanced cheeks and Helen Hunts frown lines. . I felt myself wondering when it would end. The actors are all great. I just wish they were in another movie so I could fully enjoy their talents.

Helen Hunt was a little too thin and a little too wan. On the other hand, both the story and the acting were quite good. A touch of sadness, a dash of abandonment with a dialogue that was sometimes melancholic sometimes clever but always enlightening. It should be seen!!

This could have been a very nice story line. However, the unnecessary use of the F-word made this movie extremely uncomfortable for me. The backseat seen also took away from the warm fuzzy feeling of Helen Hunt and Colin Firth's relationship. I have no desire to ever see it again.

This was a great movie. If someone went through what Helen Hunt's character did, I doubt they would look that sunny. This was a good look at real life, and it gave a positive outlook at the end. Sometimes life is not positive. The acting was terrific. The script was very good. The directing great.
