Because I Said So (2007)
Cast: Diane Keaton (Daphne), Mandy Moore (Milly), Gabriel Macht (Johnny), Tom Everett Scott (Jason), Lauren Graham (Maggie), Piper Perabo (Mae)
For complete info, see IMDb's Because I Said So page.
I expected Because I Said So to be a pretty good chick flick, since the cast was great. I didn't think this movie would be that funny. I also didn't expect so many people to get involved enough in the movie that they were actually talking to the screen. So many people gave advice to Milly during the movie, since her mother drove the audience a little crazy. I can't even imagine dealing with a mother like Daphne.
The opening sequence didn't look like anything I expected of the movie from the previews. I didn't know it was the movie util I noticed Lauren Graham. I definitely don't think this is a movie you need to see in a theatre, but I do recommend renting it when it comes out on DVD. I went with the girls (sparing my husband from the chick flick I thought Because I Said So would be, but I've added it to my Netflix list, since I think my husband will enjoy it, too.
