Because I Said So



Greetings again from the darkness. It is now official. Diane Keaton has reached the parody of herself stage. She has become a caricature of her character. The loopy, over-the-top 60 year old female who screams stereotype with each line.
Exactly what this movie is: purely stereotypes. The character development is poor as are the performances. I didn't really get to know neither of them. Not one. I mean, you can spect stereotypes in a romantic comedy, but this is just too much.
The only merely respectable thing was Mandy Moore, who, even though the script was poor, managed to show her on screen charisma which will be able to develop later in new movies, I hope.
It doesn't even work for a rainy afternoon or a pajama party with friends. I didn't laugh at all. Not once. Pure crap.
