Reviews for Something's Gotta Give
Top CriticMs. 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.
01/08/04
Top CriticA comedy of manners (and mannerisms) with two of the most mannered movie stars of our time, Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson, acting all over the place until you surrender with the ecstasy of pure pleasure.
12/18/03
Top CriticSomething's Gotta Give is exactly the kind of 'adult' dreck that you'd expect to see on Broadway.
12/13/03
Top CriticIn a rare -- if not entirely convincing -- bow to older audiences, Something's Gotta Give teams Nicholson with Diane Keaton in a romantic comedy that's funnier than it is trenchant.
12/12/03
Top CriticThe film Meyers has fashioned is generally quite amusing, with a brilliant cast.
12/12/03
Top CriticMeyers's movie is too well done to call it anything but good entertainment.
12/12/03
Top CriticThere's a lot of pleasure in watching seasoned pros like Nicholson and Keaton do their pas de deux of late-blooming romance.
12/12/03
Top CriticKeaton nails every laugh and nuance in this tart, terrific romantic comedy.
12/12/03
Top CriticIt's about time the mature woman got the romantic upper hand, making Something's Gotta Give a long time coming.
12/12/03
Top CriticWhile the film won't drive you delirious with suspense about where it's going, the journey is pleasant enough.
12/12/03
Top CriticThis contrived fantasy has a few funny moments, but the wish-fulfillment factor is its draw.
12/12/03
Top CriticA well-felt celebration of romantic, emotional and physical maturity, filled with laughs and tears. It’s also something of a revelation when it comes to Diane Keaton’s range.
12/12/03
Top CriticAs dazzlingly enjoyable as it is deeply intelligent.
12/12/03
Top Critic[Keaton and Nicholson] bring so much experience, knowledge and humor to their characters that the film works in ways the screenplay might not have even hoped for.
12/12/03
Top CriticDoesn't America's 50-and-fabulous set deserve better than a movie this superficial and pandering?
12/12/03
Top CriticA romance comedy of the type favoured by writer-director Nancy Meyers, who, from her script for Private Benjamin to her remakes of Father of the Bride, has never met a laugh she couldn't reduce to a formula.
12/12/03
Top CriticUnchallenging fluff.
12/11/03
Top CriticThe problems lie not in the movie's ideas or casting, but in the sitcom-like screenplay employed by writer/director Nancy Meyers, and in the inability of the filmmakers to cut the movie down to a reasonable length.
12/11/03
Top CriticWithout Nicholson and Keaton, the movie would be fair. With them, it's one of the few good romantic comedies this year.
