DVD Review: Because I Said So

I say this movie is a piece of crap. Normally, I love Diane Keaton - she's so quirky and lovable. In Because I Said So Keaton plays the completely neurotic, overbearing, insane mother to three equally annoying and crazy daughters, including Mandy Moore. Keaton can't let her youngest daughter (Moore) go and constantly meddles in her love life.

The plot is weak at best. The characters are unlikeable. Keaton's long scenes make you seriously hate her and want to pull your hair out. There's a scene where Keaton has lost her voice due to laryngitis and has to write in a notebook to communicate. She asks Moore, her youngest daughter, what an orgasm feels like. WHAT MOTHER DOES THAT? Moore then proceeds to describe the sensations, ooh-ing and ahh-ing, eyes closed and writhing on the sofa -- it is one of the most uncomfortable and unbelievable scenes I've ever witnessed! I had to fast-forward because it was totally grossing me out.

Even more annoying? Keaton and Moore wore Uggs (colored ones, no less!) for half the movie. Enough said.

Maybe you can re-enact that orgasm scene for us sometime?

MY mom wouldn't hesitate to ask me about my orgasms. But there would be no writhing in response from me!
