Editorial Review:

As upscale sitcoms go, Something's Gotta Give has more to offer than most romantic comedies. Obviously working through some semi-autobiographical issues regarding "women of a certain age," writer-director Nancy Meyers brings adequate credibility and above-average intelligence to what is essentially (but not exclusively) a fantasy premise, in which an aging lothario who's always dated younger women (Jack Nicholson, more or less playing himself) falls for a successful middle-aged playwright (Diane Keaton) who's convinced she's past the age of romance, much less sexual re-awakening. As long as old pals Nicholson and Keaton are on screen discussing their dilemma or discovering their mutual desire, Something's Gotta Give is terrific, proving (in case anyone had forgotten) that Hollywood can and should aim for an older demographic. Myers falls short with the sitcom device of a younger lover (Keanu Reeves) who wants Keaton as much as Nicholson does; it's believable but shallow and too easily dismissed. Myers also skimps on supporting roles for Frances McDormand, Amanda Peet, and Jon Favreau, but thankfully this is one romantic comedy that doesn't pander to youth. Mature viewers, rejoice! --Jeff Shannon

5 out of 5 stars Some ONE's got to give...........2007-06-29

And the "someones" are Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton, who give wonderfully sweet and sassy performances in this story about Destiny almost thwarted.

Jack plays a quitessential playboy. It seems he has a new girlfriend every week. Only this time perhaps he's found "the one" in Amanda Peet. Enter Diane Keaton, Peet's mother. A successful playwrite, she is hardly looking for romance. Comfortable in her static, routine existence, surrounded by her characters, living her life vicariously through them at times, Keaton seems blissfully unaware of her own appeal. (Typical to any Keaton character, which is likely part of her basic charm.)

Keaton and Nicholson have a battle of wits, a battle of charms and an ultimate battle of hearts (notwithstanding Nicholson's heart attack about mid movie.)

In the closing minutes, the question is looming... will they or won't they? And I won't spoil it... you'll have to watch it to find out.

but I will say this... the movie is satisfying in its conclusion and is remarkable throughout. I LOVED it!

5 out of 5 stars Something's Gotta Give.......2007-06-08

This is a very humerous yet touching romantic comedy, atleast for the 50+ crowd - maybe not for the younger generation.

5 out of 5 stars my opinion of this movie.......2007-06-01

I found it to be a great movie and in perfect condition. I think most people over 30 would enjoy it. I had about everything and two great actors.

5 out of 5 stars Don't underestimate this movie! :- ).......2007-04-05

This fun, silly movie would be a great date movie. 2 icons of the Baby Boom generation visiting all the relationship stereotypes we've grown up with over the years - and finding each other.

I could have lived without Jack Nicholson's naked butt, but hey, the more things change ... the more they stay the same. What can you say about Nicholson? He's fresh, fun, charming, warm and heart-rending in the role of the over-the-hill playboy who finally falls in love. Keaton is adorable, as always, and I could fall in love with her myself.

Keanu Reeves is the proverbial heart-throb, but it is true that being with someone younger than you doesn't make you feel young - it makes you feel old. There's something to be said for sticking with your own cohort. There's more to relate to.

I loved this movie. It was a delightful change of pace, charming, fun and sweet.Little Buddha

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite!.......2007-04-02

All I have to say, is that this is my favorite Keaton movie and my favorite romantic comedy! I love her in Reds, Annie Hall and Mrs. Soffel, but for me, this was her best performnace (so far)...Nancy Meyers is a great director and who doesn't like Nicholson. Warning guys, it is a chick-flick, but a great date movie!
