And then she found me

Do films always come in themes, or does watching any two films together cause one to see similarities. In And then She found Me, I am not sure who "She" is, or who finds whom. Perhaps that is the intent. Helen Hunt is in the middle of a divorce, a search for children and a search for real relationship. She is not sure where to search and grabs on to the first thing that comes her way, tosses them away (the first thing you see can't ever be the right thing... right?), and then grows up to grab on again. Finding a relationship when one doesn't expect it, and in the place that one is not seeking it, but finding ultimately that it is the perfect relationship that can't be let go. This effort goes solidly in the "Romantic comedy - but light on the comedy" category. Not bad, but I only saw it last night and already had to pause to think about who was actually in the film. Cute, but not something that will stick with me.
