Because I Said So (2007)

EW's GRADE
C+

Details Release Date: May 08, 2007; DVD Release Date: May 08, 2007; Movie Rated: R; Genres: Comedy, Romance; With: Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore; Distributor: Universal

Because I Said So's story of a lonely mother (Diane Keaton) looking for love for her daughter (Mandy Moore) and finding it for herself plays better on DVD. Perhaps that's because Keaton's screeching and over-the-top physical comedy — a misplaced tribute to Lucille Ball — aren't quite as grating when viewed on the small screen. EXTRAS Sorry, there are no reactions to the miserable reviews. Just two meager making-ofs, in which the juiciest tidbit has Lauren Graham confessing that the actresses bonded by discussing their eBay purchases. That lively dialogue we might have enjoyed.C+
