Bonnie Hunt is one of the most creative comedians working in television.
Her new show, Life With Bonnie, which airs Tuesday nights on ABC, reflects both her fondness for improvisational comedy and her versatility; she writes, directs, and stars in the show (as the host of the show-within-a-show "Morning Chicago").
Return to Me [which Hunt wrote, directed, and appeared in] was fulfillment on the largest level—to be able to show the city through a camera, from the skyline to a small restaurant, with four guys who are retired and solve the world's problems—that's what I remember [being around] as a child.

 Life With Bonnie | PopMatters Television Review
Ever the professional, Bonnie imbibes as she tries to offset the sniping with hilariously illogical quips ("Do you normally cook in leather, or is that an Italian thing?").
Hunt would be best served if she could play Bonnie not as a middle-aged mom whining about not being a size six anymore, but as a middle-aged mom who still exudes sexual confidence.
Such a characterization would also give Hunt the opportunity to play against expectations that Bonnie Molloy, in order to be funny, needs to be a prisoner of her imperfect middle-aged body.

Bonnie was in on the process at the very beginning, she tells us, thanks to her longstanding relationship with Pixar and its president, John Lasseter.
Bonnie thinks that, as much as anything we’ve seen so far from Pixar, “Cars” is a movie close to John Lasseter’s heart.

 Return to Me (2000): David Duchovny, Minnie Driver, Bonnie Hunt, Carroll O'Connor - PopMatters Film Review
Hunt, who briefly considered the title role, plays best friend Megan, a middle-class mother married to the potty-mouthed Joe, played by James Belushi (and anyone waiting for a Duchovny to take it all off will have to settle for a Belushi, who could take the emaciated Duchovny in a tummy-rolling contest any day).
Hunt co-wrote the film with frequent collaborator Don Lake (who has a bit part as a guy with the worst hair transplant in history), whom she met during her stint with Chicago's famed Second City comedy troupe.
While Hunt's deep narrative investment in family may condition her desire to move deeper than the superficial and the farcical, it also seems a bit disingenuous, given her penchant for rapid one-liners in scripting Return to Me.

Hunt -- a former nurse, raised in a large middle-class Chicago family and trained in improvisation in that town's Second City troupe -- is an artist who prizes spontaneity as a source of comedy.

Hunt's acting is terrific here; she laughs with genuine amusement at the kids' non-sitcommy reactions and mumbled remarks, and when hubby says, ''You always say we never talk anymore,'' she shoots back, ''I didn't say it bothered me.''
