Because I Said So

Because I Said SoA romantic comedy starring Diane Keaton, Mandy Moore, Piper Perabo (Coyote Ugly, The Prestige) and Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls). Directed by 40 Days and 40 Nights' Michael Lehmann.

Widow Daphne Wilder (Keaton) tried to find the right man for her unmarried daughter, Milly (Moore). Milly's two sisters were already happily married and she was the only who was still trying to find Mr. Right. Afraid that her daughter was going to make a wrong decision, Daphne placed an ad on the internet, searching for her daughter's future husband. A man named Jason came along, a handsome and settled architect, just the perfect man for Milly. But there's also Johnny (played by the oh-so-hot Gabriel Macht), an inevitably charming musician who was also attracted to Milly.

First and foremost, I love Diane Keaton. Whether it's Annie Hall, The Godfather or Something's Gotta Give, she's always beautiful and charming. So, I think this is a pretty okay romantic comedy. For me, lately there hasn't been any WOW romantic comedy.. except The Holiday, maybe. The center of this movie is the relationship between Daphne and Milly, sprinkled with bits of comedy and hot men. All in all, yeah you can go see it if you haven't gor anything else to do. It sure isn't bad. It's quite entertaining and Mandy Moore's hair is to die for.

For a romantic comedy? 7 / 10.
