Then She Found Me

Life can change in a heartbeat.

You're not quite as cute as Bridget ....

A teacher's biological clock is beating fast, but she is unable to get pregnant. Her boyfriend/husband decides to leave her, and then her mother dies. As her life falls apart around her, she is contacted by her biological birth mother, who wants to meet and catch up. She also starts dating the father of a kid in her class. Complications arise when she discovers that the ''good-bye'' sex with her ex-partner left her with a bun in the oven... What to do?

International Media

eye Weekly (Canada)Jason Anderson Then She Found Me seems more novel than it ought to be, given that it’s an otherwise conventional blend of rom-com and middlebrow drama.

ReelViews (USA)James Berardinelli This is the sort of movie that gives ''chick flicks'' a bad name. It’s a cross between inept melodrama and a bad sit-com.

ScreenIt (USA)C. Fuchs The film has an awkward demeanor that will likely prevent it from connecting with all but the most devoted Lifetime TV channel fans.
