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 Kim
Description
Academy 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.

 Diane Keaton Fan!! January 7, 2009
Linda Cheadle (Ohio)
This is such a funny movie. Diane Keaton is at her best and Mandy Moore is good too. It is so true in many ways because as Mom's we tend to protect and want the best for our young. I think we can all relate to Mom's dilemna. I have watched it so much that I can recite the words by heart. One of my all time favorite movies.
Diane at her finest January 6, 2009
Linda Raney (Utah)
This movie was made for Diane Keaton. She is funny, yet human as her role as mom gets a little carried away. I just loved it!!
 Sweet & Entertaining December 18, 2008
Jeanette Pena (Berwyn IL)

Good comedy December 5, 2008
Lana Kodinsky
Yes, it's another romantic comedy, but it's not that bad movie. Defenatly I'd give more then 3 stars.
...CUTE, FUNNY ROMANTIC COMEDY December 1, 2008
Marilyn J. Benedetti (EDMOND, OK)
THIS IS A VERY PLEASANT, ROMANTIC COMEDY THAT DID NOT DESERVE ALL THE BAD REVIEWS. tHERE ARE ALWAYS LOTS OF THINGS IN THE MOVIES THAT ARE NOT REALISTIC, BUT THAT IS PART OF THE FUN OF PUTTING YOUR FEET UP, EATING POPCORN AND WATCHING A MOVIE AT HOME. IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN A MOTHER OR A DAUGHTER OR KNOW WHAT THAT RELATIONSHIP IS ABOUT, YOU WILL ENJOY THIS MOVIE. ALSO MY HUSBAND WHO USUALLY PREFERS "GUY MOVIES" REALLY ENJOYED THE MOVIE. AND NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE STUPID TO LIKE IT. YOU DO NEED A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR THOUGH.
