Because I Said So (2007)

Diane Keaton plays an overbearing mom in Because I Said So (2007). As Daphne, she pries into the lives of her daughters while dying for a second coming of the orgasms she once knew when she was younger. Although the mature dish has a lot on her plate, she doesn’t have a lot of clothes on her body. In other words, Ms. Keaton struts her stuff in white underwear. Mae (Piper Perabo) and Maggie (Lauren Graham) prove the apples don’t fall far from the tree since they stroll around in skimpy skivvies. Like mother, like be-thonged daughters! But when it comes to Daphne’s youngest offspring Milly (Mandy Moore), tension is brewing. That’s because Mommie Dearest is desperate to hitch her to a husband. Daphne is so pushy, she makes Milly seem like a less-than-cushy catch — which is just silly! In fact, Daph goes behind her daughter’s back to place an internet ad for her. Consequently, Jason (Tom Everett Scott) and Johnny (Gabriel Macht) are the bachelors #1 and #2 who show up to compete for the honor of joining this dysfunctional family. For her efforts, Oscar winner Diane received a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Actress. But even though this rom-com was a critical flop, it generated interest in Mr. Skin’s spank bank. And, of course, the movie must be given credit for its creative marketing since it sold panties sporting different sayings from the movie. We’re guessing the biggest seller were the briefs that read, “Because I Said So!”
