BECAUSE I SAID SO
SYNOPSIS
Powerhouse actresses Diane Keaton, Mandy Moore,
Lauren Graham and Piper Perabo serve up the
laughs when they join wickedly funny director
Michael Lehmann (The Truth About Cats & Dogs, 40
Days and 40 Nights, Heathers) in his new film about
cutting the apron strings, Because I Said So.
Keaton stars as Daphne Wilder, a mother whose
love knows no bounds or boundaries. She is the
proud mom of three daughters: stable psychologist
Maggie (Graham), sexy and irreverent Mae (Perabo)
and insecure, adorable Milly (Moore)-who, when it
comes to men, is like psychotic flypaper.
In order to prevent her youngest from making the
same mistakes she did, Daphne decides to set Milly
up with the perfect man. Little does Milly know,
however, that her mom placed an ad in the online
personals to find him. Comic mayhem unfolds as
Daphne continues to do the wrong thing for the right
reasons...all in the name of love.
In a hilarious battle of strong wills, the
mother-daughter dynamic is tested in all its fierce,
wacky complexity. The girls help Daphne finally
discover the truths and impossibilities of motherly
love, all while trying to answer the questions: where
does it begin and where should it end?
