Because I Said So

• Romance
• Comedy

A brightly-colored, feel-good romantic comedy, *Because I Said So* playfully dissects the anxieties of both dating and being relentlessly pursued by a well-meaning, yet overbearing, mother. The film centers on a widowed architect navigating a chaotic dating life orchestrated by her three daughters, each grappling with their own romantic complications while attempting to shield their mother from further embarrassment. Unlike typical matchmaking narratives, the humor derives from the mother’s increasingly audacious schemes and the daughters’ desperate – and often failing – attempts to intervene, creating a distinctly chaotic and relatable family dynamic. The film builds a genuinely heartwarming atmosphere rooted in the messy realities of love, complicated familial bonds, and the quiet yearning for connection, demonstrating that even the most enthusiastic interventions can lead to unexpected, joyful outcomes.
