    Surprisingly effective comedy with Keaton playing the overprotective Mom perfectly.

    Do yourself a favor and don't see this movie. Horrendous and unfunny.

    Diane Keaton plays the overbearing psychotic mother that only exists in Hollywood, but when women sit round with their own mums they are quick to point out how "true" it all is. Keaton a fine actress but this character needs to be shot in the fucking face. Scratch that she needs ...( read more)to be tortured, maybe a movie cross-over with Saw. Not only is she the most irritating character since Chris Tucker in The Fifth Element she is painfully stereotyped. Watch her struggle with technology it's a hoot. Luckily in the second half she calms down a lot, one scene is even quite sweet where she doesn't talk. HURRAH. Mandy Moore is just outsstanding, it's a great performance for a naive and broken young lass who could have come across as slutty had it not been for Moores awesome cuteness. The two male love interests are...well one's an absolute arse and the other's cool and sensitive with a hyperactive son. Ooh I wonder who will make the final lovey speech in front of strangers at the end. (It's the cool one). Annoying, adhering to a strict formula and occasionally funny. Yep it's a rom-com.

    This is a weak, romantic comedy that could only be more predictable if you had seen it before. For humour, they use a lot of clumsy spills and exaggerated overreactions that havent been funny for me since I stopped having recess. The male characters are giant neon signs announcin...( read more)g everything about them so that you could predict the film from across the street. There are a couple amusing scenes with Keatons character chatting candidly with her daughters about everything from lingerie, to female orgasms, to cut vs uncut (yes those), but its not amusing enough to make the rest of this film worth enduring. Diane Keaton is Daphne, a single mother with three grown daughters who becomes concerned over her youngest, Milly (Mandy Moore). Milly seems unable to find a good man and Daphnes implausible answer is to find a man for her and engineer their meeting. The plan seems foolproof (Yeah, right) until Milly meets another man on her own, who turns out to be one that mom has already rejected, while Mom has her own handsome successful choice for her duaghter. My Goodness! How zany! How will it all end? Keaton, an experienced and talented actress, completely blows this role with an exaggerated over-the-top, slapstick performance, but Katherine Hepburn and Meryl Streep combined couldnt save this lame-ass script.
