Here is comment for new films, the capsule reviews of films opening this week.
January 31, 2007 (Press Release) --
"Because I Said So" Everything about this movie screams out generic chick flick and we mean scream, literally from the forgettable title to the excruciatingly corny ending. In between, director Michael Lehmann runs through a veritable checklist of cliches. (Is it possible this man made the deliciously vicious "Heathers" nearly 20 years ago?) There are the unbelievable characters who say and do contrived, sitcommy things.
The montages of shopping and furniture rearranging. The caffeinated score to punctuate all those wacky moments (Diane Keaton discovering online porn). The gaggle of women graphically discussing their sexual hijinks. And of course, the repeated cutaways to a cute dog reacting to all this shrill nonsense. Keaton plays the overly meddlesome, highly emotional mother of three daughters who worries that her youngest (Mandy Moore) will stay single the rest of her life.
Naturally she crafts an Internet ad and secretly arranges the girl's dates. Gabriel Macht and ! Tom Everett Scott play the would-b e suitors who are so vastly opposite, it's obvious whom we're meant to root for from the start. PG-13 for sexual content including dialogue, some mature thematic material and partial nudity. 111 min. One star out of four.
