It's sweet, ok, predictable, but it has a happy ending and I LOVE Helen Hunt. I think she is terribly under-rated as an actress. I also feel she did a wonderful job as director of this film. What's it like to... Full review

A wonderfully moving picture. Very real and certainly deserving of higher rating than depicted. The story is real, the acting is poignant and heartfelt. Hunt, Midler, Broderick & Firth are superb. I watched it two nights in a row. This movie... Full review

The thing that bothered me most about this movie was that Helen Hunt, who I think is a fabulous actress, looked older than Bette Midler, who was suppose to be her Mom. Helen looked closer to 50 than the 39 she... Full review

I think Helen Hunt is a talented actress( my definition being I recognize her and can still "forget" that I know who she is and still enjoy a movie because the acting, plot, or storyboard is proficient) and I am worried that she looks nothing less than anorexic whether it be from a desire to be thin or other health complication. ...

A lighter touch was needed, as well as a more cynical approach to the various characters' frailties.
Instead of finding a consistent-tone, the movie veers between bland sitcom and overwrought melodrama.

The main problem is one of tone, the movie shifting between pale sitcom humour and sloppy romantic overtures, making for an uneven and unfulfilling experience.
Desperate for a baby, she's dumped by her new husband (Matthew Broderick).
