Because I SAID SO!!!

Watched 'Because I Said So' on Friday nite. The summary as follows:-

In “Because I Said So,” Diane Keaton plays Daphne Wilder, the single mother of three grown daughters: Maggie (Lauren Graham), the responsible one; Milly (Mandy Moore), the single, flaky one; and Mae (Piper Perabo), the one who wears the skimpiest clothes. Mom, while a bit scattered in other ways, is a fanatical micromanager when it comes to her girls’ emotional lives, and she is especially worried that Milly, who manages a catering business, will end up with the wrong guy or no guy at all. The rules of romantic comedy dictate a few wrong choices on the way to the right one, an alternation of giggles, tears and hugs, and “Because I Said So” plays cautiously by the rules. Directed by Michael Lehmann from a script credited to Karen Leigh Hopkins and Jessie Nelson, it is a mild exercise in deliberate mediocrity, with chuckles and heartwarming moments distributed as carefully as nuts in a factory-made brownie. — A. O. Scott, The New York Times
