From Our Partner
Take A Night Off

It’s time you took yourself to a good flick. One with:

1. A stellar cast with multiple award nominations under their belt
2. A male lead who we can swoon over
3. A film with touching performances and witty dialogue

We found it and it’s called Then She Found Me, directed by Helen Hunt and starring Helen Hunt (now that’s talent).

The movie is a touching story of a schoolteacher named April Epner (Hunt) and her very unlikely path towards personal fulfillment. Her said path is rich with all of life’s dramatic events including a separation, a death, a new love, a pregnancy and the real twist—an unknown birth mother (Bette Midler).

Following the separation from her husband (Matthew Broderick) and the death of her adopted mother, April is contacted by her apparent birth mother (Midler), who turns out to be a local talk show host Bernice Graves. As Bernice tries to become the mother to April that she was never able to be, April seems to find solace in the arms of the parent of one of her students (Colin Firth), only to find that the mystery to life’s questions cannot be solved by a simple revelation.

Whether one describes it as a serious comedy or a drama full of laughs, Then She Found Me is a film that simultaneously reveals and revels in the contradictions of life and its many varieties.

Look closer, and you will see that it is a lot about what it means to be a mother and, more importantly, what it takes to be a mother.

So take a night off from your regular evening program and take yourself to the big screen. We’re pretty sure you haven’t done that in a while.
