Awful. At first, it sort of seemed like maybe it was going to have something going for it, but a big NOT on that. I'm afraid Helen Hunt, who directed this, had better take directing lessons or something.
This brings me to the topic of those movie review blurps that are printed on the outside cover of the DVD. The ones that say "exceedingly funny", or "the best movie of this quarter" or "the acting is superb, I couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen". Who are these liars? Who paid them to lie? I'm at a loss. This movie had these types of things written on the printed DVD cover and it was nothing like that. I know, everyone has different tastes, but there are some basic things and although this movie tried, it didn't work.
Now, being a middle aged woman, I have no stones to throw when it comes to beauty. However, Helen Hunt, who not only directed, but stars in TSFM, was not looking good. Both my husband and I were appalled at her thinness, which we believe is the main reason behind the fact that she looked haggard and unhealthy. She is not an older woman, but she looked older than her co-star, Bette Midler, who is a woman of a slightly older age. I appreciate the fact that Helen is not afraid to show her "real self" in front of the movie camera but to also have dialog at various times stating, in Colin Firth's words, "You are a beautiful woman", was just a bit incongruous considering that she was not just prettily plain, but obviously suffering from the effects of a close to, if not totally, anorexic lifestyle.
Sorry about that. It's just so obvious that she needs to put on a couple of pounds that will make her face look softer.
I can't waste anymore time with the movie. I wish I had more cowpies to give it so I'll use brown type instead.
Rating for Then She Found Me
