Lots of terrific chick flick fare out there just now. The other day my sister and I caught a showing of “Then She Found Me.” Helen Hunt, as an appealingly neurotic, adopted 30-something and Bette Midler, as the over-the-top, suffocating birth mom who inserts herself into her now grown daughter’s life, both give tremendous performances. (And Colin Firth, is always adorable…love that accent!)

Yes, it’s quick and witty, but overall, a really poignant look at the tricky mother-daughter thing (yes, dear reader, I cried). It’ll certainly get you thinking about your relationship with your own mother and/or daughter. I know it did for me. And seeing it with one—or both—of them might be a perfect pre-Mother’s Day outing; that it will spark some interesting conversation is a sure thing.
