| Rating |  | | Date | July 26, 2005 | | Summary | A challenge to "Showgirls" for best bad movie | Content
 | What does it take to be a good bad movie? Lot's of talented people getting together and making every mistake and bad choice possible.
By that criteria "Something's Gotta Give" is the first movie I've seen in a long time that could give "Showgirls" a run for the money for best bad movie. All the elements are here - lots of talent (Nicholson, Keaton, Peet), a boringly predictable plot, and some of the most excrutiating writing I have heard in a major motion picture. Nicholson is barely acting at all, while Keaton is trying to act, but failing - miserably. When the best performance in your movie is given by Keanu Reeves, you know something spectactuarly bad has occurred.
My advice - rent this movie, get a bunch of your friends together, get rip-roaring drunk, and a good time will be had by all. |

| As a guy I traditionally avoid some of these more romantic movies at all costs. However after seeing a few previews I must admit I was interested. I'm very glad I gave this movie a shot. At times it was predictable and probably could have been finished off a little quicker, but it was still enjoyable. Jack Nicholson is hilarious and Diane Keaton matches him move for move while unfolding the story of two people who learn from each other that you can be older and still very alive. This is a cute movie that you will want to watch more than once. |

| Something's Gotta Give is a wonderful and sweet romantic comedy starring Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton and it was very nice and refreshing seeing a romantic comedy with older people and I'm really happy I bought this DVD for my collection. |

| Surprisingly good romantic comedy focusing on older people. Who'd of thunk? lol
Most likely the best rom com of its year.
Tale centers on a man close to 60, played by Jack Nicholasan, who has a thing for young women, finding that they don't have "baggage", as he puts it. One of the girls he dates, Amanda Peet (i.e. from cancelled TV show JACK & JILL and a host of other feature films), takes him to a family summer cottage where he meets Peet's character's mother played by, wait for it, Diane Keaton. Story then focuses on the two of them getting together, breaking up and taking a long and twisted road before he "gets it". Also look for Keanu Reeves as the love interest of Keaton and the Frances McDormand (known as the leading lady in FARGO) as Keaton's hippy oh so feminist sister.
Keaton was nominated by the AA for best actress but did not win it. She did win it in the Golden Globes though.
Excellent interweaving of music, especially with Maroon 5's SUNDAY MORNING which focuses on healing.

| Diane Keaton walks away with this movie....."pants down" (literaly). I counted 69 actors and actresses and other than Jack (who is always memorable) you will never forget Diane Keaton in this role.....she owns it! Talk about taking a risk as an actress. I mean she goes almost completely nude at an age when Hollywood (of all people) forbids such behaviour as being "uncommercial". But besides her beautiful body (even in her late fifties) Diane finaly puts to rest all those walk through performances of her past. You know the ones; Reds, Mrs. Soffel, The Lemon Sisters, Sleeper, Father of the Bride's, etc. In this movie it's all about Diane and she absolutely shines and proves why she has survived after all these years as a talent. She is simply spectacular and must be seen. Imagine me.....in my late fifties.....enfactuated with a woman in her late fifties (Diane). I have to ask.....Is there something wrong with me? Can this be normal? Shouldn't I be consumed with a Lindsay, Brittany, or Jessica or whatever their young names are? Hugh? NO WAY! I wouldn't trade my new found fantasy for Diane for all the bulimic and anorexic twenty year old actresses in all of Hollywood. Diane.....you had me from hello! |
