The ensuing cycle of miscommunication is endless and trying.

There are chick flicks and upchuck flicks. The movie Because I Said So is an upchuck chick flick.

Because I Said So seems like it's supposed to be a paean of sorts to motherhood and the enduring love that entails, a love so strong that it inevitably drives its possessor somewhat batty. But what it is, is muddled crap.

It's so derivative, unfunny and thuddingly bad that it's one of the more cringe-inducing movies of a genre chock-full of clunkers.

I hated this movie. I think it's the worst performance of Diane Keaton's career.
