An earnest cast of talented actors can’t save this well-meaning but torturously banal message movie about parental responsibility from poor writing, elementary plotting and pedestrian direction.

Reviews for And Then Came Love
1 - 12 (sorted by critic A-Z; UK critics are listed first)
Turning its back to the feminist movement, And Then Came Love believes to the bottom of its execrable core that single mothers should go the way of the dodo bird.
06/10/07
Eartha Kitt stands out in this otherwise uneventful romantic comedy.

Top CriticAny fans of Oscar Wilde, run for the hills!
06/08/07
It's lightweight and reasonable likeable, but there's nothing special about this predictable rom com in which a single mother finds her son's sperm donor and then deliberates on the options that life offers her
11/08/08
Whatever positive, life-affirming story the filmmakers meant to present gets lost amid a crowd of repugnant people.
06/14/07
It's painful to watch.
06/23/07
The film falters on many fronts, including truly wooden performances and a thoroughly uninteresting heroine.
06/15/07
For those not willing to buy into mandatory motherhood, there are still a few roles left for women here and there, as dragons ladies, sluts and psychos.
04/19/08
Ultimately feels as generic as its title.
07/13/07
Top Critic[A] flat, post-feminist cocktail of remixed cliches.
06/23/07
Top CriticEntertaining enough as a mildly amusing diversion, even if it might deliver a dubious message to impressionable teenage girls torn between dating a nerdy nice guy and a loser without much of a future.
