(2007) ★★
BBC1: Tuesday 4 August, 11.35pm
The last thing New York school teacher Helen Hunt needs in her life after husband Matthew Broderick walks out is cranky mom Bette Midler, a TV talk show host who claims Steve McQueen is Helen’s father. Steve McQueen the 60s film star, not the British one. Ms Hunt co-wrote and directed this dramedy, a shaky cross between Flirting With Disaster and Rumour Has It. The acting’s pretty good, unsurprisingly. The script less so. It has theatre workshop written all over it. Alas, the title of Ms Hunt’s 1997 Oscar winner turned out be fairly prophetic: As Good As It Gets.
