Because I Said So

Pros: Decent cast
Cons: I don't even know where to start.

Diane Keaton has been in many movies that I've enjoyed over the years. She has also been in other movies that weren't as good. Because I Said So< b>< i> is probably the worst movie I've seen her in. Daphne< b> couldn't seem to stop ...

Pros: Diane Keaton
*A few tender scenes
*A few laughs
Cons: *No character development
*Too silly sometimes
*Not much of a plot

When I first saw previews to the movie Because I Said So with Diane Keaton I could hardly wait for it to come to our local theater. I really like Ms. Keaton and the fact that this movie is about a mother and her three adult daughters (hey, I have ...

Pros: None
Cons: An absolutely embarrassing debacle for all those involved.

It absolutely baffles me that an Academy Award Winner, who’s also been nominated several more times for Actress, Lead Role by the Academy, would bother to make a movie like Because I Said So. Did Diane Keaton not read the script before she ...

Pros: Hilarious moments, surprise ending, surprise twists
Cons: Portrayal of the mother, the mother losing her voice

Some may despise their parents being in their lives such as seen in Everyone Loves Raymond, but I dreamily wish for that kind of caring family environment and always have! A close knit family who is involved in each other's lives but I also look at ...

Pros: Diane Keaton, some casting, and a light simplistic spirit
Cons: unbalanced romance with comedy, as well as flaws from some lack of conviction.

REVIEW OVER BECAUSE I SAID SO, RECENTLY RELEASED FEBRUARY 2, 2007. Because I Said So is a film emulating a controlling and protective mother (Diane Keaton) over her immature and external daughter (Mandy Moore). The plot revolves around a ...

Pros: Cute...fun character interaction.
Cons: Predictable. Wrong rating...

I watched this movie last night after my neighbor rented it and have to say that although it did give me a few laughs and was cute, I was disappointed in the complete package although I did enjoy it and might even buy it. Again an instance in which the ...

Pros: Excellent production values and acting. Very satisfying.
Cons: Can't think of any.

BECAUSE I SAID SO (2007) is a romantic comedy. The ingredients of a romantic comedy are (1) romance, and (2) comedy; not too difficult to grasp, but a surprising numbers of movies have gotten it wrong. This one gets it right. Daphne Wilder (Diane ...

Pros: Diane Keaton carries the movie.
Cons: Not quite PG-13.

My teenage daughter and I looked forward to seeing this movie. We both thought it would be a fun night out. So, we left dad at home and headed for the theater. The rating was PG-13. If I had realized how off the rating was I would have thought twice. ...

Pros: Good group of actresses and actors. Funny, and a tear jerker.
Cons: Plot slow at times, almost boring.

This film was good, but not what I expected. Diane Keaton, Mandy Moore, Piper Perabo and Lauren Graham did excellent acting jobs, but the plot was lacking something. I liked the overall idea for the plot. Keaton playing an overbearing mother who wants ...

Pros: Some laughs. Good if you can relate.
Cons: A bit too neurotic with some over the top moments

This movie would never be a first choice but we were strapped for time and my boyfriend was determined to see a movie. It was the only one that fit in with our time frame, and despite warning him that it was a chick flick, he insisted. At least because ...

Pros: Good acting.
Cons: Predictable, cutesy with a script that lacked much substance.

By the previews I was really excited to see this movie. I do like a chick flick every now and then, but I would rather have one with a better story line and less predictable. They chose big name actresses for the movie, but I do not feel that the ...

Pros: Hilarious, brings teens closer to mothers, keeps you on the edge of your seat
Cons: Sex scenes, Mom setting up website for her to meet the perfect boy for Millie

Some teenage girls hate when their moms are in their lives. I, on the other hand, appreciate my mom and what she has done for me. Watching this movie with my mom brought us closer together. She never understood the guys I dated, so one day she set me up ...

Pros: Great acting.
Cons: You could pretty much tell how the movie would end.

I saw this movie alone last night. I like watching movies to unwind. I've always liked Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore so this movie caught my attention. Before watching the movie, I wasn't expecting much but it turned out to be a good movie. Worth ...

Pros: I laughed and cried with this great movie.
Cons: Not all men may enjoy this romantic movie.

I saw this movie with my husband on Valentine's Day. I laughed and cried when we watched it. Mandy Moore and Dianne Keaton had great chemistry together as daughter and mother. I think it was a great romantic drama.
