Something's Gotta Give (2003)
Low level coarse language, Sexual references
| Director: | Nancy Meyers |
| Actors: | Jack Nicholson, Keanu Reeves, Diane Keaton, Paul Michael Glaser, Frances McDormand, Amanda Peet, Jon Favreau, Rachel Ticotin, Marjie Gum |
Harry Sanborn (Jack Nicholson) is a perennial playboy with a libido much younger than his years. During what was to have been a romantic weekend with his latest infatuation, Marin (Amanda Peet), at her mother's Hamptons beach house, Harry develops chest pains. He winds up being nursed by Marin's reluctant mother Erica Barry (Diane Keaton), a successful, divorced New York playwright. In the process, Harry develops more heart pangs - the romantic kind - for Erica, an age-appropriate woman whom he finds beguiling. However, some habits die hard. When Harry hesitates, his charming thirtysomething doctor (Keanu Reeves) steps in and starts to pursue Erica. And Harry, who has always had the world on a string, finds his life unraveling.

Entertaining film with great cast,light and easy going

A girly flick which didn't appeal to me. I thought that as it had 2 mature actors it would be more meaningful.
PCPete

Jack Nicholson is an unlikely lover but, suprising himself, falls in love with the mother of her daughter. Both Jack and mother are so surprised at this unpredicted event that they marry and enjoy the happy family life of mothers daughter who brought them together.
Lance

Jack Nicholson makes the movie...
Marjorie
says
Light and easy romance.... Good for a laugh and I always love Jack Nicholson. He is so damn seedy.
Chris
says
not too bad a movie... definately for the girls
Jacqui O.
says
rubbish rubbish rubbish. Turned it off after 45 minutes.
Painfully dull, cliched and not at all funny
Mike
says
A warm and beautiful love story for the older generation. There is hope for us yet!
Yes, I have fallen in love with Di Keaton as a result of this movie.
And Jack is Jack! As laconic as ever but very credible.
Grab it if you are over 50!
Kathryn
says
I liked this movie although I found the idea of a mother falling in love with her daughters love interest a bit weird. However it was a good flick.
Deirdre R.
says
Light and enjoyable romance, for once showing romance between older people. Diane Keaton, as usual, played her character with too much noise and too little depth, but Jack Nicholson was, of course, wonderful and pulled the film out of mediocrity. Good to see the ever-gorgeous Keanu Reeves playing an older, more settled character. I think I would?ve stuck with him!
Derek V.

In my to ten of all time, this is a great movie.

I like Jack Nicholson movies. It was a good light hearted movie. It was the type of movie I needed at the time.
Janet B.
says
a classic tale - brilliant casting
Trisha M.
says
I have to agree with David Stratton- the first half is good but I thought hte second half lost a bit of oomph - I skipped ahead and picked the eyes out of hte 2nd half, even though I did enjoy the bits I saw.
Sue A.
says
Very cute.
Heather T.
says
You are never to old to fall in love, a good story and quite funny,
Matthew B.
says
A good movie with fine performances from Nicholson and Keaton. Possibly a little long for this kind of movie (two hours) but overall a funny, romantic film.
Eric H.

Dianne G.

Lee
says
Good choice of actors. Good to see Jack Nicholson in a different role showing a suave, lovable but realistic nature
Amanda F.
says
I did enjoy watching but it was a little too long and dragged out. A different view of Diane with her daggy mum clothes and gone, you really see her as a strong and sexy woman. At last a film I liked her in!

A predictable,funny,feelgood romance by great actors
Anne G.

Elements were funny but I was surprised at being disapointed with the acting.
Elaine C.

Anastasia N.
says
I laughed quite a bit in this film but I really wish someone would get Keanu Reeves out of anything that doesn't involve implied drug use or slow motion bullets.
I laughed quite a bit in the first half of the film and felt the second half got lost a little in trying to get somewhat existential in the end.
Janice B.
says
I thouroughly enjoyed this movie
Erna-Marie T.

Much ado about nothing. Highly implausible story line. Tired of Jack Nicholson and "Annie Halls" mannerisms after seeing them in countless other movies with the same expressions. The film is also too long. The plot is not strong enough to sustain its length. Jack Nicholson as the owner of a Hip-Hop record label? I don't think so!
Irene H.
says
Its a great movie, and I love watching it,good balance of actors

Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton are the perfect on screen duo. A funny, moving and compelling story of two mature adults who discover true love for the first time in their lives. Unbeleivably entertaining film. It made me laugh and cry, and It made me think about love in a whole different way.That's art!

I've now watched this movie about 4 times- a real feel-good movie, with some locations to drool over!
Lou C.

Ashley C.

This movie really surprised me, I have been putting off watching it for ages but it turned out a lot better than I thought it would. Jack's acting ability continues to amaze me. I expected it to be really corny. But it had a lot of heart and a good ending. Definitely worth watching, but don't forget the tissues. Chick flick.
Julie M.
says
A fantastic movie. Funny, romantic and quick witted.
David T.
says
Nicholson is superb in this not to be missed light hearted romp by this late middle aged peter pan, who finally realizes, that there is more to life than knocking off young bimbo's.
Cheryl S.

George B.

Top class Actors - must watch, very funny
Terry C.

Its okey
Vincy S.

Excelllent!! great comedy with sweet story, it's like a chick flick but one suitable for both young and old! XD
it's cute how you see them act like that! i laughed sooo much XD
i'm only 21 and I loved it!
keanu reeves was like a stone and nerdy.. and his scenes were pretty weird.. but interesting haha
Peter S.
says
Competent production and acting. I found Nicholson a tad past his use-by date.
Alan M.
says
Great story well told, I am in that age group so could relate very well to it.
Linda H

A great cast of characters and a lot of laughs made this movie enjoyable.

Unusual storyline - kept my curiousity barely alive until the end - slow

Jack Nicolson is always entertaining
Alan L.

Just worth seeing and a good story line
Tina O.
says
Loved it!
Heather G.
says
A good movie in that the main characters are very real (as in not plastic surgeried to look like androids) and portray realistic issues and problems. Diane Keaton is perfect as the emotionally fragile Erica, with Jack Nicholson being his usual (bordering on psychotic) self. Heart warming support actors make this a very enjoyable movie.
Ross M.

Excellent, funny, a real feel good movie.

Entertaining light hearted movie, still has me wondering how many women would pick Jack Nicholson over Keanu Reeves though.
Jodie H
says
Starts of ok and then half way through (where it should end) it goes down hill and drags on.

Very funny and lighthearted.
Jeanette C.

Men will hate it, women will love it. Jack you are the man and Dianne you sexy thing.. This is a movie I bought for my Mum for Christmas and we watch it together. The glasses gag to see the time gets us on the floor everytime.
Sarah R.
says
Belinda M.
says
Cringe-worthy at times but thanks to some great actors it somehow works. Not a bad alternative on a rainy Sunday afternoon!
Nicole S.
says
Have seen it before a very good movie, very funny and it's not a chick flick the guys can actually watch it too and have a laugh. One you can watch again.
Philip W.
says
Very competent love story of the type Hollywood does so well. Tends to be a bit cutesy-pie and paint-by-numbers in parts though.
Marilyn M.
says
Great acting by all. Covered the gamut of emotions and had a happy ending.
Jackie

Verity Daly

first class
Liz Barton
says
Jack Nicholson seems able to pull 100 faces to convey 100 different messages. He bettered the performance of Diane Keaton whose arms were continually in the air, however, Keaton's wardrobe of subtle colours set against the Hamptons house also with a wonderful subtle pallette was gorgeous. A lovely warm and fuzzy ending.
Nerida Tait

Leesa Addison

Frances Mcdormand gets some great lines in this very enjoyable film. Jack and Diane are pretty good too!
Nicola Earle
says
Movie was a major disappointment. Both leads tried their best but to no avail. Bizzare crying by Dianne actually made me regret hiring it.
Glenda

Kelvin Aw-Yang

Richard Wells

Megan Rushton
says
Yes, light hearted, feel good kind of movie. However, there were some awful moments with Diane Keaton's character crying that just made my skin crawl. But, if you like your movies to make you laugh and not think too much, this is perfect entertainment.
Lyn
says
Great actors and great script. Very enjoyable, funny movie.
Helen Louden
says
Top comedy, AAA class actors. This man experiences LOVE for the first time in 63 yrs and cannot understand whats happening to him.
Wendy
says
A good chick flick, especially for the more "mature" woman.

Great movie - I was surprised how enjoyable it was. Glad I watched this movie!
Peter Lanzetti

Russell Moseley
says
I found it a bit slow in places, but it still had plenty of story and feel to get 4 stars
Olivia
says
Untraditionaly romantic. Jack is at his witty best and Diane is a babe.
Kerry Powell

Well worth watching. It makes some interesting points. Quite amusing in parts
Tony Freeland

Nice surprise - didnt think I would like it but very warm and entertaining and even Keanu was slightly less wooden than usual.

A good allround entertainer, very enjoyable without being sensational
Iain Slater
says
Pleasantly surprised. Very entertaining.
MargaretH
says
This is a movie unashamedly aimed at the over 50's woman which I am. We are supposed to identify with Diane Keaton. While I can not deny the obvious charm of Jack Nicholson, a relationship with a 36 year old doctor would be more useful at our stage of life. The early part of the movie had hilarious moments and it was all in all most enjoyable to watch. Very clever, if predictable, script.

chick flick... but nice!! loved it.
Alison Phillips

Maybe, if you're very bored. Wooden acting from both male leads - Diane Keaton makes it just bearable.

Good movie to watch - interesting storyline that finished with a realistic ending

An unintelligible movie about a self centred individual in his 50's.
mja
says
Although this movie probably runs about 20 mins too long you can forgive that through the absolutely fantastic performances. Jack Nicholson is fantastic in this though I suspect he was just playing himself and the rest of the cast even Keanu Reeves (he can actually act) is great.
Paul Coggan
