Because I Said So review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 15 August 2011 09:44

This movie is pure and utter fluff. Mandy Moore is not a good actor, and the story was kind of terrible. I love Lauren Graham, so that's pretty much the only reason I put the movie on in the first place, and stuck with it until the end. But everything about the movie is obnoxious and just awful, and no one should have to endure this. Ever.

So lame....

Posted : 13 years, 7 months ago on 16 September 2010 12:45

Not so long ago, I watched ‘License to Wed’, also starring Mandy Moore (in fact, both movies were actually released the same year as well). Anyway, just like ‘License to Wed’, I can't say I enjoyed this flick at all. In fact, the main reason I actually wanted to check this flick in the first place was because I have a weak spot for Diane Keaton but it turned out to be a really lame movie.  I know, it is a comedy and it was supposed to be funny and all but I thought the whole thing was rather annoying. In fact, I’m going to make another link with ‘License to Wed’. Indeed, in both movies, they make the same mistake which was to make the character played by their biggest star (in this case, Diane Keaton and Robin Williams in ‘License to Wed’) really obnoxious. As a result, they really messed up this character who was not funny at all but rather cringe-inducing to behold and the whole thing was therefore completely hopeless and not entertaining whatsoever. To conclude, I really didn’t like this movie at all, it was just really weak and I don’t think it is worth a look.

mom-daughter relationship

Posted : 16 years, 8 months ago on 8 September 2007 10:24

Diane Keaton plays the mother of three beautiful girls (Mandy Moore, Lauren Graham and Piper Perabo). Desperate to find her youngest daughter (Mandy Moore) a boyfriend, she puts an ad on the Internet without her daughter knowing about this. The daughter soon meets an architect (Tom Everett Scott) who will become a boyfriend, and will also have a fortunate encounter with someone her mother disliked, musician Johnny (Gabriel Macht). With whom will the daughter make her life?

Cute story. But very predictable, like most romantic comedies.

Diane Keaton at times is hysterical in her acting, and her character got to my nerves: the relationship she has with her youngest daughter should change. As Moore's character says "it's my life".

Moore's acting was very superficial. Graham and Perabo were annoying.
Tom Everett Scott was snobby.

Funny at times. Worth watching once. On television. And if it's raining outside.
