This little indie film is directed by and starring Helen Hunt. And so I wanted to hate it, because I always want to hate when an actor decides to take his or her first stab at directing, and also decides to star in the movie. But this one actually looks decent. The trailer is subtle and revealing in the right ways. Plus, we get Hunt (even if she is playing 39 here, which I'm not buying; and, for the record, neither is IMDb) acting alongside Matthew Broderick (her husband, who leaves her early in the film), Colin Firth (who swoops in to win her over when said husband leaves) and Bette Midler (her birth mother who she gets to know over the course of the film). The gist is that April (Hunt) wants to have a baby, but she's getting older, and then her husband leaves her. She meets Colin Firth right away and really likes him, but then her husband calls and they have a one-night stand ("break-up sex," according to Bette, who is full of inappropriate wisdom for her newly found daughter). Needless to say, April ends up pregnant by the break-up sex, but a reconciliation is not in the cards. She wants to be with Colin. So, it's one of those triangles that is going to pretty much stay that way forever, and it's going to work out cutely and quirkily. Which, I know, that never happens in real life, but at least it's not a totally traditional rom-com, right? Or is it? Maybe they disguised it as an indie and filled it with people like Firth, Broderick and Midler just to fool people like me into seeing it. Well, it worked.
