Then She Found Me

“Life can change in a heartbeat.”

April Epner (Helen Hunt) teaches school in New York, and in a short stretch her husband leaves and her adoptive mother dies. Then Bernice Graves (Bette Midler), a talk show host and April's birth mother, turns up, and April also starts seeing Frank (Colin Firth), the father of one of her students. Hunt directs her first feature with a loose, comic ease, letting the family scenes run a little rough.
