Reviews

ravitchn What a dumb movie! Two over aged swingers give each other the eye and take the consequences. It end however as happily bourgeois as possible.

TonyMontana96 (Originally reviewed: 13/01/2017) When comedies are this good it makes you think about what really makes a picture as funny as it ends up to be, the answer is, it all depends on the actors, the writers and the execution. Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton are superb, they play off of each other with real ease, and create one of the most entertaining on screen romances I have seen in quite some while. Keaton (The Godfather) is equally as worthy as Mr Nicholson, with her unforgettable crying sequence where we don't know whether to laugh or cry, which I of course mean as a good thing. Keanu Reeves plays a kind-hearted doctor with real sincerity and his performance is as follows. I also enjoyed the supporting cast which includes Francis McDormand, Amanda Peet and Rachael Ticotin.The picture is beautifully shot, most notably with the beach house view and its humour very smart, I like a comedy that doesn't have to use bottom of the barrel humour with no payoff. I did feel sorry for Reeves, he ends up being that nice guy who put's everyone else's happiness first, I singled him out though because I believe this film would not work without him. Overall Nancy Meyers's has created a wholly pleasant picture with strong comedic chemistry, funny writing, real personality and a satisfying conclusion.

bkoganbing My major disappointment with Something's Gotta Give is not hearing a single note of Johnny Mercer's famous standard in a film with that title and having an extensive music score. I'm sure there's a story why that didn't happen. Other than that this is one sleek romantic comedy about some older people finding true love.For Diane Keaton she's kind of wrapped herself in her work and her reputation as America's leading female playwright since Lillian Hellman. Her daughter Amanda Peet however is dating 60 something Jack Nicholson a record industry mogul. Nicholson is a compulsive womanizer and Peet is the latest in a long line of trophy beauties. This man has something to prove.But at their summer beach house Nicholson suffers some cardiac arrest and he's bound there while he mends. And of course Nicholson discovers that an intelligent woman close to his own age might actually have something to offer. Because 30 something doctor Keanu Reeves who is treating Nicholson finds Keaton most intriguing. In fact I've never seen Keanu Reeves more romantic on the screen.I'm older than all the principal characters in this film and I'm always glad to see films like Something's Gotta Give for us senior citizens showing that even if we have to take it easy we can still enjoy life and all it has to offer.If you're in my age bracket, don't miss this one.

vze3vhtf When older guys (those who aren't rich & famous like Jack Nicholson, that is) want to believe that they are still attractive to hot young women, they go to places like strip clubs or, ' Hooters ', & indulge their fantasies, at least as long as their time & money last. Yet deep-down everyone knows that it's all just a temporary illusion.But when angry aging feminists want to believe that they are still attractive to younger men, they write/direct/star in/support movies like 2003's, ' S.G.t.G. ", in which they too can temporarily live out their own fantasies.In reality, however, no man with a heartbeat would EVER willingly choose to be with a 2003 version of Diane Keaton, over a 2003 version of Amanda Peet (who is hardly A-List fantasy material herself).Now perhaps in the big picture, this reality is somewhat unjust.But, as the old saying goes, Life's Not Fair.Yet these angry aging feminists are so incapable of accepting this reality, that their only recourse is to try & project their desperate wishful-thinking forcefully enough, so that someone else actually buys into it.And before anyone bares their fangs & claws, and bites my head off, just please answer me this one question: Back when Keaton was at her peak, both in terms of her looks, and her popularity, and was starring in hit films opposite Hollywood's top male stars of that era (Al Pacino in, ' The Godfather ', Woody Allen in, ' Annie Hall ', Richard Gere in, ' Looking for Mr. Goodbar ', Etc.), can you please list for me just ONE (1) time that she herself played a character who lost her leading man to an older woman??? -I Didn't Think So.So let's please not be hypocrites here, ladies...M
