Movie Reviews of Because I Said So (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: One Star-Spoilers Follow
Summary: 1 Stars
It could have been a good movie. It had a good cast Diane Keaton, Mandy Moore, Lauren Graham and Stephen Collins about a domineering mother and her daughters specifically her youngest daughter Mandy Moore who's saddled with the horrible name...Millie who's basically a pushover it was classifed as a chick flict or a romantic comedy. Yet it was awful. The lenghts that the mother goes to in order find a husband she thinks is perfect for her daughter was horrible. Really on-line dating and screening dates to find the perfect man? That's a really horrible thing to do. Unfortunately, any sympathy you would have for Millie goes out the window as she dates two guys at same time, sleeping with both guys and even getting engaged with one while thinking about moving in with the other. I'm suppose to be rooting for Millie because she's cute and her mother's a pain? I don't think so. If you don't think that's painful enough all of the sexual jokes are. Skip this movie believe I wish I had.
Summary of Because I Said So (Widescreen Edition)
In Because I Said So, Diane Keaton outdoes any pushy parent trying to marry off their children. On the eve of her 60th birthday, Daphne (Keaton) decides that she will find a suitable suitor for her youngest daughter Milly (Mandy Moore). Never mind that Moore was barely into her 20's when she shot the film and easily could pass as a high-school senior. The film asks us to believe that an otherwise smart, loving mother would push marriage on a young woman who obviously wasn't ready for that kind of commitment. The romantic comedy has a cute premise that grows old fast: In order to root for Daphne's almost manic desire to see Milly walk down the aisle, the audience has to believe she's undergoing some kind of trauma, or at least dying of an incurable disease. But because she is such an overbearing busybody whose best interests for her daughter have little to do with reality, viewers just see an obnoxious, meddling mother trying to micromanage her child's life. That we don't want to strangle Daphne is a credit to Keaton's acting skills, which manage to shine through, even in the most over-the-top scenes. Lauren Graham and the always adorable Piper Perabo play Milly's older, married sisters. Had the film revolved around the three sisters' lives--sans mom--Because I Said So would have been a much more interesting picture. --Jae-Ha KimAcademy Award-winning actress Diane Keaton stars with Mandy Moore, Lauren Graham and Piper Perabo in this heartwarming comedy about mothers, daughters and cutting the apron strings. When it comes to her three free-spirited daughters, Daphne (Keaton) is just your normal overprotective, overbearing, over-the-top mother. Worried that her youngest daughter, Millie (Moore), will end up alone, Daphne meddles in her daughter's love life until she ends up doing all the wrong things for all the right reasons...and all in the name of motherly love.
