Movie Reviews of Something's Gotta Give
Movie Review: Jack Nicholson is not my idea of a ladies' man.
Summary: 1 Stars
Nothing about this movie made sense to me. The "hero" is supposed to be crawling with young women, and won't go with anybody over thirty years of age. How could he get anyone under thirty to even look at him? For that matter, how could he get anyone OVER thirty to look at him? His greasy hair was unkempt and looked dirty. He was fat and sloppy, and so out of shape he wheezed when he walked from one room to another. But most of all, he was immature and superficial. I can see younger women falling for older guys if they are good looking, in shape, and charming like Cary Grant. But Jack Nicholson is not my idea of a ladies' man. This movie was painful to watch.
Summary of Something's Gotta Give
As upscale sitcoms go, Something's Gotta Give has more to offer than most romantic comedies. Obviously working through some semi-autobiographical issues regarding "women of a certain age," writer-director Nancy Meyers brings adequate credibility and above-average intelligence to what is essentially (but not exclusively) a fantasy premise, in which an aging lothario who's always dated younger women (Jack Nicholson, more or less playing himself) falls for a successful middle-aged playwright (Diane Keaton) who's convinced she's past the age of romance, much less sexual re-awakening. As long as old pals Nicholson and Keaton are on screen discussing their dilemma or discovering their mutual desire, Something's Gotta Give is terrific, proving (in case anyone had forgotten) that Hollywood can and should aim for an older demographic. Myers falls short with the sitcom device of a younger lover (Keanu Reeves) who wants Keaton as much as Nicholson does; it's believable but shallow and too easily dismissed. Myers also skimps on supporting roles for Frances McDormand, Amanda Peet, and Jon Favreau, but thankfully this is one romantic comedy that doesn't pander to youth. Mature viewers, rejoice! --Jeff ShannonHarry 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.System Requirements:Running Time: 128 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396013025 Manufacturer No: 01302
