Funny interactions between mother and daughters but, as usual, WAY too much sex.
Actually much better than it seemed. But then again, I am a sucker for Mandy Moore...she's just too damned cute!
Has no relevance to my life. Just funny situations. You gotta love how Trump handles his wife though :)
OH my gosh I wanted to punch Diane Keaton's character in the face the entire time I was watching this movie!
One of my All time favorite movies. I love Diane Keaton even when shes acting all crazy. And as a Actress i like Mandy More, the guy that plays Johnny is HOT.
The main reason I bought this DVD was bcoz of Diane Keaton, but I was a bit disappointed.
Nothing special.
Critic Reviews
As almost everyone knows by now, the early part of the year has become a dumping ground for dreadful movies. Still, Because I Said So constitutes unusually toxic waste.full review
It's so derivative, unfunny and thuddingly bad that it's one of the more cringe-inducing movies of a genre chock-full of clunkers.full review
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, when they reached a certain age, played harridans and ax murderers. Diane Keaton has started playing mothers, but, alas, the effect is about the same: She's scary. Very scary.full review
Because I Said So is an exercise in deliberate mediocrity, with chuckles and heartwarming moments distributed as carefully as nuts in a factory-made brownie.
If these are the only kinds of roles we can conceive for actresses who have grown into their faces, as Keaton has, it's no wonder so many younger performers are seeking the knife.full review
The best moments aren't belly laughs (there are a couple of those, too) but the jokes that ring uncomfortably true.full review
