If Only...

"Because I Said So" could have been a much more entertaining film if it had managed to snag Gaspard Ulliel, who plays Young Hannibal Lecter in "Hannibal Rising."

Here's my treatment: Gaspard answers Diane Keaton's internet ad, wows, her, she convinces Mandy to date him instead of Uptight Architect or Musician Who Plays By His Own Rules. Only after Gaspard tries to carve up Mandy's brain at the dinner table does mom finally realize she maybe shouldn't be meddling so much in her kid's love life.

Full disclosure: this was listed from my comment on Mandi Bierly's phenomenal Entertainment Weekly Reviewing the Reviewers blog, which quoted one of my reviews for the second week in a row.
