  A very interesting Rom Com, not a perfect one, but Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton make this a wonder and a treat and is considered one of my favorite Diane Keaton films.

  When it comes to romantic comedies you really can't do any better than Nancy Meyers' "Something's Gotta Give." Meyers is the queen of the genre because she understands what makes it truly work. Meyers proves that with wonderfully likable actors playing wonderfully ironic characters coupled with a story that is relatable and timely, the genre conventions will fall away. "Something's Gotta Give" is romantic and shiny but real and tender. The film is overflowing with pathos and pleasure. Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson deftly handle the films emotional moments and situational comedy with ease.

  Jack Nicholson is a phonoemenal actor and he was so funny and entertaining in this movie and so was Diane Keaton. One of my favorite parts was when Nicholson saw Keaton naked. Adore this movie!!! See it!!! I love this movie!!!! Its just great. :) Just wonderful :) I love Jack! :)… More

  Great romantic comedy from Nancy Meyers. Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Keanu Reeves, Frances McDormand, and Amanda Peet all give outstanding performances. Very entertaining!

  Director Nancy Meyers is no stranger to romantic comedies. In fact, it's her forte and your never left in any doubt as to what a film of hers will consist of. This is no different, but does have the added bonus of a more than watchable cast. Record label boss Harry Sanborn (Jack Nicholson) only dates women who are half his age. But when he suffers a heart attack at the home of his girlfriend's mother, playwright Erica Barry (Diane Keaton), he's surprised to find himself falling for this intelligent, mature woman - even though she's being courted by Harry's young doctor (Keanu Reeves). I'm not a fan of the rom-com genre but when it's a selection of appealing actors delivering delightful performances, it's hard to say no. It's great to see Nicholson and Keaton sparring again, 22 years after their last collaboration in "Reds" in 1981 and how often do you get a film that has veterans such as these two great actors sharing screen time with the successful names of today, like Keanu Reeves and Frances McDormand? It doesn't pretend to be anything other than an enjoyable romantic tale and for that reason you can sit back and know exactly what your in for, with the always reliable actors adding to the predictable comfort of it all. Lighthearted love fluff, that works well for what it is and maintains a level of entertainment throughout, thanks to it's star wattage.

  well cast~! Jack Nicholson Dianne Keaton Keanu Reeves...lots of laughter in this one. erica barrys (dianne keaton) daughter marin barry (Amanda Peet) brings her much older boyfriend, a rap record executive played by (Jack nicholson), to the Hamptons for a weekend. After Jack has a heart attack, he winds up recuperating at the ocean-side retreat while Diane works on her latest play. Jacks a cigar-smoking, promiscuous older man who faces his own cardiac-impaired aging while getting stuck with turtle-necked Diane at her nonsmoking beach palace~!!!! They begin to fall in and out of love, usually while in their pajamas,lol between walks along the beach and late night refrigerator raids, they discover the advantages of living in-not for-the moment~!

  As a playwright, I am offended by the vapid revenge play Diane Keaton's character, Erica Barry, a "successful playwright," writes. Personal issues aside, the characters lack any true motivation. They just play a game of romantic musical chairs. Oh Keanu Reeves. Just don't open your mouth, and you're fine.

  This film is just too charming and fun to dislike it. This type of movie isn't my thing, but the chemistry and acting, and characters make it too loveable. It does lose some steam around the 90 minute mark or so, but it recovers enough to keep the film afloat. Worth seeing, whether it's really your thing or not. There's a lot to like with this movie.

  Filmed in the Hamptons (Gosh I miss home). I am glad I didn't see this in the Movie theater as I would have been thrown out for laughing so loud and hard. I never have laugh so much for one movie. Diane Keaton is one beautiful lady. She plays her part with gusto. No one other… More
  Filmed in the Hamptons (Gosh I miss home). I am glad I didn't see this in the Movie theater as I would have been thrown out for laughing so loud and hard. I never have laugh so much for one movie. Diane Keaton is one beautiful lady. She plays her part with gusto. No one other then Jack Nicholson could play this part and keep everyone laughing, when we lose Jack we will lose comedy as only he can perform it. The scene where he sees Diane naked is one that will leave you laughing even after the movie is over. Top shelve in my collection 5 stars.

  A delightful romantic comedy for a more mature audience. The chemistry between Jack Nicholosn and Diane Keaton is amazing. Beautiful cinematography and score by Michael Ballhaus and Hans Zimmer, respectively. The cast is pretty good. You got Jack Nicholson, great (as he always is), Amanda Peet (adorable), Frances McDormand (one of my favorite actresses; I get SO happy whenever I see her on screen), even Keanu Reeves was good. Obviously, the film's greatest performance is that of Diane Keaton. She is absolutely perfect (although, I hated the crying part). Hilarious and romantic movie. The best part was Frances McDormand dancing and singing "Let's Get It On".

  Granted I'm not a fan of romantic-comedies by any stretch of the imagination...this one's ok. Nicholson is great...and Keaton gives one of the better performances of her accomplished career...but a mono toned Reeves and the overlength of the whole movie almost completely destroy the chemistry the two main characters work up.

  Surprisingly enough, I didn't hate it. It is has the characteristic dumb Nancy Meyers dialogue I've come to expect, but if I pointed out every single ridiculous moment in the story (as I did in The Holiday), I'd be missing out on the heart of the movie. Champion actors Nicholson and Keaton bring out a certain something the roles and made the first half rather entertaining, backed up beautifully by Frances McDormand...up until the part they had sex. (then it fell apart, but nevermind, don't dwell on negatives) And I do give thanks that Keanu Reeves had relievingly little screen time.

  So cute. You gotta love the chemistry between Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson.

  You have Nicholson, you have Keaton, you have McDormand. You would think you might have a decent film. You don't! This movie was trite, cliché, and just dragged on and on. It is the age old story of an older woman who has repressed her sexuality and an older man who gallivants… More
  You have Nicholson, you have Keaton, you have McDormand. You would think you might have a decent film. You don't! This movie was trite, cliché, and just dragged on and on. It is the age old story of an older woman who has repressed her sexuality and an older man who gallivants around with younger women and how they come to terms with themselves and their lives. You have seen it a million times and there was not one "great" performance (or even quotable line) to be found in the whole film. It was fun to see Diane Keaton onscreen again. She was able to breathe some life into this dead script, but not enough. Skip it. I promise it is not worth your time.

  Great cast. Explores relationships with generation gaps.

• Dean M

  
  This romantic comedy is both organically hilarious and has something adult and absorbing to say. In the scene when Jack Nicholson becomes shocked to see Diane Keaton naked, who screams when he sees her, in the study hall where they approach each other which makes me laugh.

  A wonderful romantic comedy. One of the best I've seen. Gut busting laughs and great performances. Hilarious, romantic and teriffic. Diane Keaton is marvelous. She is a sweet and charasmatic and Jack Nicholson is magnificent. He's a riot of genious and hilarity. It's one of those films that shine and leave you smiling when it's over.
