And somehow, very you. <BR/><BR/>And I, sort of guiltily, love Mandy Moore, so I know I'll be seeing that one eventually. I can't help it, I just find her adorable, even in the (several) terrible movies she's done. Loved her on Scrubs, loved when she randomly showed up on episodes of The Osbornes. I think it all goes back to Saved!...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-63044316820100664532007-04-04T11:54:00.000-04:002007-04-04T11:54:00.000-04:00MaiaI loved her in something's Gotta Give, too... ...Maia<BR/>I loved her in something's Gotta Give, too... And it was her who drew me to this movie... But she just came off as frantic and shrill and silly to me in Because I said So. Maybe it was just my mood that night.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure whether the dialogue was bad or the direction or the acting... But I didn't believe the relationships between this family for a second. Maybe it's because they really didn't develop the Lauren Graham or Piper Perabo characters at all... so they'd just show up in these scenes and be in these conversations but there was no "sister" or "mother and daughter" feeling to the conversations... I mean, just because they're discussing intimate things, doesn't make them intimate conversations. <BR/><BR/>I did like the romance between Mandy Moore and the cute guy who played her love interest... And Diane Keaton's character arc was fine, too... but overall it didn't work. Maybe the sister characters were superfluous, distracting. It's really Mandy Moore's story with a subplot for Diane Keaton. the other sisters were just tacked on. Okay, I've just decided that was the problem.
