I expect an Academy Award winning actress (Ms. Keaton), ie "Annie Hall", to select her scripts better than this one, in "Because I Said So". This film had no heart, no soul, and no reason to be made. At the end of the film, you wonder what she was thinking to take this part. We all can have overbearing Mother's at times, but an hour an a half of watching Ms. Keaton's anxiety attacks over her daughter's single life, was tedious and boring. This is not a good script, and certainly not Diane Keaton's best performance. Cannot recommend this DVD.
Because I said so is a typical "chick flick". I purchased this and invited several friends over for a home dinner theater. Fortunately we enjoyed good food and company but the movie was not up to our expectation. We expected light entertainment and got that but the lines were way too obvious and it just wasn't as big a deal as had been promoted. Diane Keaton can pick better roles. All in all, it was ok, light and lively but very predictable and the men in the crowd were quite bored. The ladies will like it once but it's not the type show you would want to see more than once. It was good, but not great, in my opinion.
4 excellent female actors with a fun story line ... sweet and entertaining movie ... perfect for a girls night in!

Starring Diane Keaton as a harried Mom of three beautiful Daughters all grown with their own lives, in the beginning we see two getting married and the youngest played by Mandy Moore who now owns a catering business is catering a Wedding..her Mother played by Keaton tries to find her a decent good Man using a personal ad the computer scenes and the responders to her ad are hilarious..Diane Keaton is a great comedic actress..this film is alot of fun filled with romance and some edge of your seat side splitting moments that will have you spitting your drink everywhere..I give this funny movie 5 out of 5 bars!
Diane Keaton goes a little overboard as an over protective mother . Liked Andy Mohr she was very good. OK movie movie.
