And Then Came Love

When an artificially inseminated buppie (Williams) checks the paternity of her six-year-old wild child, she finds herself falling for the man who’s been missing in her son’s life (Daniels). But how alluring is his struggling-actor lifestyle when compared with the security of her dashing photojournalist fianc? 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.
