Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

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.

Mistrcoffe I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I thought I was a fan of Colin Firth but found that NOW I am a fan. I had no trouble believing he was his character. I think he expressed the confused and conflicting emotions that his trauma would create. Helen Hunt was in her element playing an intelligent emotional woman. I have loved Bette Midler since The Divine Miss M show in the 70's and she was stellar again. I enjoyed Ben Shenkmen quite a bit especially since the last pic I saw him in was Must Love Dogs where he played the shallow misogynist so well. I think if you are a fan of any of the cast and/or like movies that have points that relate to the real world it is well worth your time.

Petri Pelkonen April Epner, a nearly 40-year old Jewish woman, is going through a crisis in her life.Her husband Ben leaves her and her adoptive mother dies.Then a talk show host called Bernice Graves is introduced to her as her biological mother.And she meets a new man named Frank at the school she teaches his two children.Then She Found Me (2007) is the directorial debut by actress Helen Hunt.She gives a great performance in the lead as April Epner.Bette Midler is terrific as Bernice Graves.Colin Firth is marvelous as Frank.Matthew Broderick, who turned 50 a couple of months ago, does very nice work as Ben Green.Ben Shenkman is great as Dr. Freddy Epner.Salman Rushdie, who is better known as a writer, does very good work as Dr. Samani.Lynn Cohen plays April's adoptive mother Trudy, and she's very good.As themselves in this movie are seen Janeane Garofalo, Tim Robbins and Edie Falco.This is a nice, yet flawed movie.The drama of it works pretty good, it's quite moving.But it doesn't go out to make some movie history.It doesn't succeed in rising above mediocrity.But it's a pretty nice little movie that proves Helen Hunt can also direct.

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.
