very good
This movie is one of the best this year. It has the most prolific actor of all time, Mr. Nicholson. How come Keanu Reeve can't still get his act together? Good thing he's still very cute and mysterious at 39. Call me at 156-38-3461.

Cute, but too long and too sappy
I believe this was a case of the film being overhyped to me before I saw it. It was ok, but nothing incredible. I thought Nicolson and Diane Keaton were quite funny and really at their best, but the material was a little dumb, the events hokey and contrived, and the film was too long. They could have cut about 30 minutes out of it, streamlined it somewhat, and it would have been better. I saw it with a person their age who despised it as being absolutely stupid and unreal. I guess my suggestion is, is you're 60-ish, you might really hate it. It is worth the price of a rental or pay-per-view, but to me, only barely. Wait until it comes on cable and you can see it for free, but it is worth seeing.

Something Gave Up
If this movie had been a meal I would have sent it back for being overcooked; either that, or just tossed it in the garbage. SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE gave me anything but an enjoyable story; instead, this "romantic comedy" about a sixtysomething play boy finding love for the first time with an attractive, "mature" woman just floated along like an unmanned rowboat in the middle of a lake. And it floated on and on and on and on. . .

There's nothing redeeming about Jack Nicholson's character, and the actor plays the role in his usual creepy and disgusting manner. Meanwhile, Diane Keaton plays Nicholson's flighty and hysterical love interest--albeit a very attractive one. And for Keanu Reeves to be the odd man out of this love triangle requires a suspension of disbelief in proportion to the Grand Canyon. (Which is exactly where the script should have been thrown.)

'Nuff said. SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE gets two stars for Keaton being so easy on the eye, and an inspiration for all of us middle agers. Now if I could just get the dog to eat this, but he doesn't want any part of it, either.
