By conceiving a child via artificial insemination, hip, modern and thoroughly independent magazine writer Julie Davidson (Vanessa Williams) managed to trim the messy nuptial relationship strings so often attached to starting a family. Imagine her shock, then, when her now-six-year-old son, Jason, demonstrates his growing need for a paternal role model by misbehaving in school. Thus begins Richard Schenkman's gentle romantic comedy And Then Came Love. Julie soon sets out on a quest to find the
original sperm donor - youngish, self-effacing actor Paul (Kevin Daniels) - hoping he will take some responsibility for Jason's awry behavior. Father and son do indeed forge a strong relationship; but in Julie's wildest imagination, she never expected to fall in love with this new acquaintance. And Then Came Love reached theaters (in extremely limited release) circa mid-June 2007, and received video distribution almost immediately after. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
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
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.

Entertaining enough as a mildly amusing diversion, even though it delivers a dubious message to impressionable girls torn between dating a nerdy nice guy and a loser without much of a future.
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.

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.
The script is vacant and the direction apparently lost in a wood of acting trees. The male lead appears retarded as if plucked from some special ed class for actors. His lovable oaf routine is executed without charm and it is utterly unconvincing as is the idea [font='Calibri','sans-serif']that a woman such as the one
portrayed by Williams in this film could be wooed by such a witless lummox. While this genre of movie normally guarantees an overdose of sugar this romantic comedy could kill garden slugs. Bad performances all round ensure this movie is as enjoyable as waiting for a bus while small children throw rocks at you. Only watch this movie if you are afflicted with some kind of unreasonable Vanessa Williams fetish? like myself. [/font]
