Diane Keaton stars as an unconditionally loving, but meddling, mother
whose vain attempt to prevent her insecure youngest daughter from repeating the
same mistakes that she made leads to a series of comic misunderstandings in
director Michael Lehmann's affectionate family comedy. When it comes to the
topic of motherhood, Daphne Wilder (Keaton) has seen it all. Her eldest
daughter, Maggie (Lauren Graham), is a highly respected psychologist and her
middle daughter, Mae (Piper Perabo), is both sexy and smart, but youngest Milly
(Mandy Moore) just can't seem to get things right no matter how hard she tries.
Recognizing that the romantic exploits of her charming-but-struggling youngest
always seem to end in tears, concerned mother Daphne vows to find Millie the
perfect man. Though she always means well, Daphne's misguided attempt to set her
daughter up by placing a carefully worded personal ad proves once and for all
that even the most well-intending of mothers can sometimes overstep their
boundaries. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
