IF YOU LIKE HELEN HUNT, SEE THIS MOVIE....

Movie: Then She Found Me
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 100 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: I really liked this movie but it ended very abruptly. It was like reading a really good book and someone rips out the last chapter, leaving just the ending on the last page. Another 10 minutes to this movie and it would have deserved a "10". Helen Hunt is closing in on 40 and wants a baby. Sound familiar? Another Baby Mama I wondered? However, this movie is a little different. Helen marries Matthew Broderick but that doesn't last long so they separate and she meets hunk Colin Firth. Your imagination can take it from there. Bette Midler plays an interesting role in the movie also. In fact, I felt the acting in each role was excellent.

AMY POEHLER IS A HOOT!

Movie: Baby Mama
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 96 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: Tina Fey has a high corporate position, is 37 years old, not married, and decides she wants to have a baby but her doctor tells her her chances are one in a million, so she hires Amy Poehler to carry her baby. There are a lot of laughs in this movie, and Amy Poehler is the reason for most of them. Her expressions are priceless. Steve Martin plays Tina Fey's boss, and Greg Kineer (spelled wrong?) has a great role but I'll let you see the movie and find out what role he plays. Cousin Bonnie and I thoroughly enjoyed this one!
