Movie- Because I said so

This romantic comedy is a cute chick-flick, which will appeal to the ladies but may not be something your boyfriend would enjoy.
Dianne Keaton plays Daphne Wilder, the meddling mother (reminiscent of Pride and Prejudice’s Mrs Bennett) who puts an advertisement on the internet to find a life partner for her daughter Milly (Mady Moore).
When meeting potential suitors, Daphne finds Jason the architect, who she thinks is Mr Right, and Johnny the musician, who she is certain, is Mr Wrong.
The movie rolls along nicely with plenty of slapstick moments (Daphne has a few accidents with cakes along the way), but it loses verisimilitude when Daphne and her daughters talk openly about orgasms and sex.
The guys might not enjoy this movie for that reason alone, and also because it is riddled with weddings, a cute kid and a scheming potential mother-in-law. All in all, it is a good movie to see with the girls, but the boys might want to steer clear of it , because I said so.
