Wordiezett So much average

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

enije I've got to be honest. I have just watched this movie, 12 years after it premiered. I simply didn't have the stomach for another Jack and Diane movie, with two otherwise awesome actors doing the same thing again. This says a lot because I love Nancy Meyers films and must have watched the holiday at least ten times. And I was right. Jack is Jack and Diane is Diane. Its awkward and worn, albeit funny here and there. An absolute delight though, was Keanu Reeves. For a guy who is often typecast in roles as the mostly silent, pained, strained and/or not very bright guy, he is playing the role of his life here. He is witty, in tempi, charming and carefree - even a little bit audacious and he does not skip a beat. Any previous fans should watch this just for him and everybody else, like myself, should be a fan after watching this. Keanu, I saw a quote, where you call yourself "not very bright" - I refuse to believe that. One cannot act smart with that twinkle of "knowing" in their eyes unless they are smart. I rated this movie with a 7, but without Keanu it would only scratch the sole of a 4.

r_mc_laughlin2002 Started well, the middle was pretty good, grabbed at the romantic in all of us, but the minute Diane Keaton was typing and "crying" (which a 2nd rate actor could have done better), the movie went downhill from here. Now apparently I have to write 10 lines, but what else should I write, Jack was pretty good, playing himself, as always, Diane wasn't too bad, up until she decided to "give up" as soon as she had to hit the keyboard, the movie hit a few hit note, but too few to make it stand out, direction was lazy, to let a pretty good premise turn out so average. It movie rapidly ran out of steam once we got to the keyboard scene. And in the end you don't really care what happens, you feel a bit cheated.

Ted Stone That's right something is boring in Denmark and do you know what it is? I will give you ten guesses and all ten of those guesses should be this movie, because Something's Gotta Give is a very boring movie. There are obviously a couple of legend actors and actresses in this movie so it should be amazing but it is just an average romantic comedy with big time actors going through the paces and I guess just doing this for the big payoff at the end of the day. I was very disappointed and bored throughout. What should have been an 8 or 9 out of 10 is instead just a 4 and most of that is for the pretty good writing by whoever wrote this movie.

SnoopyStyle Harry Sanborn (Jack Nicholson) is always dating young girls. His latest girlfriend is Marin (Amanda Peet). It gets weird when they go to her mother Erica Barry (Diane Keaton)'s beach house, and they run into Erica and her sister who are about his age. Later, he has a heart attack. He's forced to stay at the beach house. And a love quadrangle develop between the three and emergency Dr Julian Mercer (Keanu Reeves).Jack Nicholson isn't very likable to start off with. Diane Keaton is a bit annoying too. From the set up, they obviously have to get together. This is Nancy Meyers ranting about older woman being left behind as older man only have eyes for young hot things. The obvious movie set up of all those young things at the beginning of the movie really subtracts from the story. Once the movie starts off with the premise, it can't really go back to just a nice little story. It has to make a point.There are good actors here doing some good work, well maybe everybody except Keanu Reeves. Diane Keaton does go overboard with the screaming, the crying, and the overacting. I didn't find it funny as much as annoying. However, the story has enough sentimentalism to make it work. And what we get is a functional rom-com for the older set.
