She's just your normal, overprotective, overbearing, over-the-top mother.
Daphne Wilder (DIANE KEATON, Something's Gotta Give, The Family Stone, The Godfather trilogy) is a mother whose love knows no bounds or boundaries. As a single parent, she has raised three fantastic girls -- klutzy, adorable Milly (MANDY MOORE, A Walk to Remember, Saved!, upcoming License to Wed), stable psychologist Maggie (LAUREN GRAHAM, television's Gilmore Girls, upcoming Evan Almighty) and sexy and irreverent Mae (PIPER PERABO, The Prestige, Coyote Ugly) -- to become the kind of women any mom would die to have.
The only problem is...they're just about ready to strangle her.
In a comedy that explores when it's finally time to cut the apron strings, director MICHAEL LEHMANN (The Truth About Cats & Dogs, 40 Days and 40 Nights, Heathers) brings four powerhouse actresses together in one film -- Because I Said So.
In order to prevent her youngest, Milly, from making the same romantic mistakes she did, Daphne decides to set her up with the perfect man. The one thing Daphne decides not to tell Milly, however, is that she placed an ad in the online personals to find him. If anyone knows exactly what her daughter does and doesn't need out of a long-term relationship (or clothes or her career), it's Daphne. Comic mayhem unfolds as the well-intended mom continues to do the wrong thing for the right reasons...all in the name of love for her beloved daughter.
Is the man of Daphne's (erm, Milly's) dreams the responsible architect Jason (TOM EVERETT SCOTT, television's Saved, One True Thing), or is he the free-spirited rocker Johnny (GABRIEL MACHT, The Good Shepherd, The Recruit)? Daphne will continue to push, cajole, suggest and nudge her way into Milly's smallest of decisions until she rights the wrongs of her own life choices or drives her girls nuts.
But once Johnny's own father, Joe (STEPHEN COLLINS, Blood Diamond, television's 7th Heaven), catches a buried spark within Daphne, things really start to heat up for the Wilder matriarch. Finally letting herself begin to fall, Daphne begins to wonder if she is just pushing her girls as a way of ignoring her own issues.
In a hilarious battle of strong wills, the mother-daughter dynamic is tested in all its fierce, wacky complexity. Now, the girls will try their best to help Daphne finally discover the truths and impossibilities of motherly love...all while trying to answer the questions: where does it begin and where should it end?
