Jamie passion and passionfruit!

A film about a domineering mother interfering in her daughter’s love life to cover her own loneliness and lack of feeling wanted.  Diane Keaton is always a redeemable feature and she is one of the few things worth it in this repetitive and pointless little movie.  One or two laughs there are, but it is terribly paint by numbers and obvious and not so slick at that.  Gabriel Macht and Tom Everett Scott do what they can with the male roles while Mandy Moore is really rather flat as the daughter in question – a definite case of Milly Vanilly!  For when you are ill in bed or on a very long flight and have seen all the other options.
