What makes a truly awful movie awful? 1) Does it fail to meet the standards of the genre? Well, by definition a romantic comedy should feature romance and comedy; This movie was spectacularly unfunny. CHECK! 2) Does it resort to cliché? The cinematic cliché of the '90's was the "conversation while urinating"; in this decade, we have the "dog humping something". In my theater, people actually laughed at this, which explains in part how the average rating on this site is over five. Anyway, BISS had a horny dog scene, so CHECK! 3) Does it pander to and insult the audience? Absolutely. From the juvenile dialog to the eccentric secondary characters to the ridiculous musical numbers to the total absence of sophistication, a huge red CHECK! My advice: if you genuinely found this garbage entertaining, go directly to Netflix or your nearest video store and rent Annie Hall, The Baxter, or When Harry Met Sally. Watch how a romantic comedy is supposed to be done and you'll see just how asinine Because I Said So is.

"Because I Said So" is idiotic and grotesque. Do. Not. Waste. Your. Time. The attempts at humor are from a teenage gross out flick: an unattractive man whines about having snot stuck in his nose; Diane Keaton carries heavy, elaborate cakes while wearing four inch spike heels; Diane Keaton drives on a highway with her head under the dashboard; Diane Keaton simulates arousal while watching an x rated internet site; a dog humps a piece of furniture; Korean women make rude comments while massaging American women; women's underwear are compared. The sets and costumes are from a never-never "romantic comedy" land: a family of young, attractive women and a series of elaborate wedding cakes. The plot is idiotic; if you've seen the trailer, you know the plot. Diane Keaton, a mother, interferes in her daughter's love life so much that they fix her up with a man. The dialogue is flat and could not be less interesting. Women are incompetent: a young woman, Mandy Moore, wears a bright red, lacy slip under a green dress. The slip is too long; its lacy red hem screams out from under the green dress. *While she is crossing a busy street*, Moore tugs at, and eventually removes, the bright red slip. Do you know a woman that incompetent? She's an adult, doesn't know how to dress, and doesn't know not to strip in the middle of a busy street? I don't. Amazingly, a man watches this performance and falls madly in love. See what I mean? Grotesque. Diane Keaton's performance consists of her waving her splay fingered hands about, distending her nostrils, and wearing a thick black leather belt with a large buckle. Oh, yes, and she's so dumb, every time she, a professional caterer, has to transport a unique, elaborate cake, she dons four inch spike heels and tries to walk through skate boarders. Luckily I was not wearing spike heels. I walked out. I hope you don't walk in.

guderian17 said exactly what I was thinking as I walked out before the credits rolled. Keaton stole the show and took it straight to the dumpster! I had high hopes as I usually enjoy her performances particularly in the sweet romantic roles. Mandy Moore and the male leadswere very good, but didn't get enough screen time without competing with Keatons' over the top performance. Although I didn't stay for the ending, it appeared very obvious...as though the screenplay were written by a highs school student looking for a quick assignment. Direction of Keaton appeared either non-existent or too contrived. Please, who continually carries cakes without protection down sidewalks and through stores? Uncreative, unrealistic and unbelievable.

Definitely. I saw the pre-screening last week. It's a great movie about family and love. Although, if you are totally weirded about sexual stuff don't see it. There is a lot of sexual innuendos and talk about orgasms. For the most part though, it was a very touching story about a mom not ready to accept that she is no longer in control of her daughter's life let alone her own. Coming up on 50, Diane Keaton's character is constantly trying to pair her daughter up with the right man. However, her meddling costs Mandy Moore some heartache--as she ends up with two equally great guys. When she finds out about the scam her mother was plotting she is livid, and Diane Keaton's character is forced to face the consequences of her decision to make her daughter's choices for her. Go see it! Interesting ending but great plot.
