Keaton apologizes for growing old. Nicholson, at a hard won 67 years old, still expects us to believe 25 year-old models think he’s hot.

In the sparkling comedy SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE directed by Nancy Meyers (WHAT WOMEN WANT), divorced, successful playwright Erica Barry (Diane Keaton) has given up on finding a fulfilling romantic relationship. When her beautiful young daughter Marin (Amanda Peet) visits the family's Hamptons home with her aging, lothario boyfriend Harry Sanborn (Jack Nicholson), Erica's plight as a mature, single woman comes into stark focus. Harry exclusively dates young women, which infuriates Erica. Though initially they repel each other, things change when Harry has a heart attack and Erica comes to his aid. The two make peace and discover a smoldering attraction to one another. However, love never comes without complications. Harry still has a romantic obligation to Marin, and Erica gets a taste of Harry's lifestyle when the sexy young doctor Julian (Keanu Reeves) hits on her. Whether Erica and Harry can reconcile their differences provides the premise for an elegant, touching, and amusing tale. In their first movie together since REDS, Keaton and Nicholson share natural chemistry, each giving powerful and moving performances under Meyers' expert direction. [More]

Reviews for Something's Gotta Give
Without Nicholson and Keaton, the movie would be fair. With them, it's one of the few good romantic comedies this year.
With plenty of funny and feel-goody moments, the movie is a love story for an age group often overlooked by Hollywood -- although it has wide appeal. And that's something worth falling for.
A surprisingly good comedy that managed to exceed expectations basically because of the strong performances of Nicholson and Keaton.
Mr. Nicholson has the gentlemanly grace to step aside and let Ms. Keaton claim the movie. She in turn brings out the best in everyone around her.
We're not only watching Diane Keaton's character regaining her sexuality. We're watching Diane Keaton regaining her status as one of Hollywood's most winsome leading ladies.
Ms. Keaton projects her wondrously warm personality, and the erstwhile Jake Gittes keeps us entertained with a sense of irony that keeps things from getting too sticky.
Fluff--but it's an engaging and amusing escape into romantic comedy fantasy.
If you've seen the previews, you've already watched the best parts of 'Something's Gotta Give.'
A film for adults and about adults, a charming, touching story that explores a romantic relationship not between a Maxim girl and the latest hunk, but two people eligible for subscriptions to Modern Maturity magazine.
Something's Gotta Give works because of the magnetism of its two stars and the chemistry they generate.
There is so much here that you've just gotta love that, when it gets around to the stuff that you just can't, you've gotta give it slack anyway.
