Synopsis
Diane Keaton lights up the screen as an overbearing, matchmaking single mother in this slightly offbeat romantic comedy from director Michael Lehmann (HEATHERS, THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS AND DOGS). The film is a lot of fun, with both Keaton and Mandy Moore delivering energetic performances as a loveable and pretty believable mother-daughter team. After seeing two of her three stunning daughters (Piper Perabo, Lauren Graham) happily marry, Daphne Wilder (Keaton) focuses all her worries on Milly (Moore), her youngest, most insecure, and unlucky-in-love offspring. Twentysomething Milly has got her career as a chef figured out, but is clueless when it comes to love, attracting a never-ending slew of married, cheating, and closeted men. Taking matters into her own hands, Daphne places a personal ad for her daughter, interviewing the suitors herself and settling on one particularly promising young man named Jason. Meanwhile, clueless to her mother’s plans, Milly starts to fall for Johnny, a cute musician who in spite of treating Milly like gold, is hardly what Daphne has in mind for her daughter’s future. As Milly becomes increasingly involved with both men, Daphne must face whether maybe she could still have her own romantic life at age 60, instead of just living vicariously through her grown daughters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why buy it? Because I Said So!, 25 Jun 2007
By Matthew Wilson "M477H3WW!L50N" (Cumbria, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well... this was a big suprise! I am probably the biggest Mandy Moore fan in the world, and having this film in my life, has made me a whole new person! If I was the casting director, I honestly couldn't have picked a better selection of actors and actresses! They all work really well together, and this is by far, one of the best films of the year! This is an extension of Mandy's fantastic acting, and proves she can sing and act. Now, not many people can do that, can they?
This has a great storyline, with a slight twist in the plot, which adds to the family/romcom/teen movie genre. I recommend this to anyone who loves 'Never Been Kissed', 'The Break Up', or any other laugh out loud romantic movie that exists!
I am not someone who buys a film when it comes out instantly, but I really had to buy this, and am glad I paid £14 for it now, because I know I will enjoy this for years to come. I can't wait for my friends to come over and watch it with me, because I know they will love it.
I bought this, not expecting much, but knowing how much I love Mandy, gave it a chance. I was not disappointed!

BUY THIS, BECAUSE I SAID SO!

5.0 out of 5 stars Because I said so..., 15 Jun 2007
By R. N. Spender (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It was a cute movie, perfect for a girls' night in or a rainy afternoon. Mandy Moore was adorable. She was the main reason why I bought this movie and I'm glad that I did.

I loved Millie's love interest, Johnny. He was hot and slightly different from the normal chick flick hero. I don't want to say how he was different because it might spoil the film a little.

I also enjoyed the interaction between the female characters. It was nice to see such a strong bond between mother and daughters.

I really recommend this movie if you're looking for something light and fluffy to watch.

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst film I have seen in ages, 1 Nov 2007
By T. Robson (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sorry - I really didn't enjoy this film at all. It had a terrible script and I thought Diane Keaton totally overacted throughout. There also seemed to be totally crude and bizarre bits where she seems to want to know the fine details of her daughters sex lives e.g. she asks her daughter what an orgasm is like - these just made me cringe.

I just didn't like this film at all
