Because I Said So
The 4 words I hated most coming out of my mother’s mouth. I never wanted to accept that answer from my mother, but I always did. This movie staring Diane Keaton, Mandy Moore, Piper Perabo, Thomas Everett Scott and Lauren Graham. This movie is about a mother (Diane Keaton) who doesn’t want her daughter to end up old and alone and puts out an online ad for her daughter to find love without her daughter knowing. Piper Perabo and Lauren Graham (Lorelia from Gilmore Girls) play Diane’s other daughters who are happily married. They really are not big parts of the plot, but they really all feel like a family when you watch them laugh and talk. Thomas Everett Scott plays one of the suitors who comes a’callin for Mandy Moore’s character whom is very well educated, very smart and very egotistical. Mandy ends up dating 2 guys, one her mother picked and one who found her and the movie is about her finding love. Not to mention the guy who plays Eric Camden on Seventh Heaven, he plays the father of one of Mandy’s suitors and he puts the move on Diane’s character. This is a total chic flick that I recommend to anyone who wants a girls night in and movie that makes you laugh.
