Movie Review

Grade: C+ On the whole I am a big fan of Diane Keaton. She is one of the best actresses still working today, grouped amongst Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore and a few others. Her many Woody Allen leading lady stints showed her dramatic and comedic prowess. More recent films such as The Family Stone have shown their dependence on Keaton to save them from failure or at least mediocrity. With that said, Diane Keaton annoyed the hell out of me in Because I Said So. Starring alongside Mandy Moore, "Gilmore Girl's" Lauren Graham and the gorgeous Piper Perabo (who unfortunately gets denied serious screen time), Keaton's overbearing mother character at times makes your ears bleed with her high pitched whining.
