Keaton is worthless, her character is more annoying than carrot top. The only saving grace is that Mandi Moore is not a half bad actor - but not saving enough for Keaton's awful, awful, awful character.... Full review

Director Michael Lehmann over-directs his excellent cast and in particular Diane Keaton's well-intentioned Daphne, who flaps her arms non-stop....Daphne favours Tom Everett Scott's well-to-do, but somewhat stuffy architect Jason.....We immediately warm to Gabriel Macht's likeable and good-looking guitarist Johnny, who echoes Milly's easy-going spontaneity.... ... Full Review

Since both lead characters are over-the-top nags, Keaton and Moore come off as equally annoying; that an Oscar-winning icon like Keaton ("Annie Hall") would lower her game to play opposite a fizzled pop singer-turned-mediocre actress like Moore ("American Dreamz") is just depressing. ...

Once all attempts at humor have fizzled, BECAUSE I SAID SO goes all syrupy sentiment
When the guitar player (Gabriel Macht) at the hotel bar where Daphne conducts her interviews pleads his case, further, further naturally he's rejected by her for being too flaky.

That being said, however, it's not the worst film ever.
I think it'd make a good date movie; it has some good laughs and lots of 'cho chweet' romantic moments.
