Diane Keaton is Daphne Wilder, a widowed interfering mother
of 3 grown up daughters. As her 2 eldest daughters get married and settle down,
her youngest Milly continues to have failed relationships making Daphne anxious
that she’ll never find a husband.
As Daphne continues to worry about Milly, she goes to the
extremes of putting a personal ad on the internet without anyone’s knowledge
and spends the afternoon interviewing potential suitors for her with only one
standing out - Jason, rich, charismatic and perfect husband material.
Intrigued by Daphne’s intentions, bar musician Johnny
approaches her to find out why she’s spent time with so many men and offers himself
as someone to meet Milly, but with her sights set on Jason as the one, Daphne
informs he’s not good enough for her leaving him determined to prove her wrong.
After a chance meeting, Milly ends up spending time with
both Jason and Johnny causing her mum to try and push her towards Jason, little
realising that no matter how hard she tries, you can’t plan love - she needs to
let Milly decide for herself and in the process open herself up to love.
Co-starring Mandy Moore and Piper Perabo, this rom-com wasn’t
the best. Often it was all over the place with over-acting from both the leads and
there were times when parts of the story were referred to without us having
knowledge of them.
The movie felt like it had been edited to within an inch of its
life leaving gaps in the story and me waiting for it to end.
