Jack does it again
My hubby and I just watched this movie over the weekend and we loved it. Both are big fans of Jack Nicholson and were not disappointed. This was absolutely a feel good movie with lots of humor. Diane Keaton was fantastic. Jack's character suffers a heart attack and is given a second chance at life and love. Diane's character is an uptight playwrite that wears turtlenecks in the summer and has given up ever finding love again when along comes Jack. Its really a fun, laugh your butt off kind of movie.

Excellent movie
With Jack Nicolson and Diana Keaton you know that the movie was going to be a big hit. I was not disappointed and love the movie.

For a romance film, it ranks up there with the best in my book

Five stars comedy!
This is probably one of the greatest comedies(slash)love stories I have ever watched. Diane Keaton shines in her portrayal of Erica Barry, a successful middle-aged Broadway playwright, divorced who oddily gets to know who will become the love or her life, Harry Sanborn (Jack Nicholson). In turn Harry is an accomplished playboy who prides himself of having never ever dated a woman over 30 in his life. Turns out that Harry 's latest love interest is Marin (Erica's daughter-Amanda Peet) who works as an auctioneer in NYC.

The movie tells the story of how an impossible match (Erica and Harry) gets to be. It all starts when Harry and Marin arrive to Erica's beach house for a romantic weekend getaway, not knowing that both Erica and her sister are actually in the house too for the weekend. Frances McDormand gives as always the greatest performance in her role of Zoe (Erica's sister), a feminist and ultraprogressist professor of Woman Studies at Columbia.

So many, many great lines and dialogues that I find myself challenged when trying to select my favorite one. I laugh histerically during the dinner scene where they discuss the unfairness of modern society to divorced or single middle-aged women in comparison to the praise and celebration that a sixty- year old bachelor such as Harry gets to receive.

Also there is this scene, probably one of the bests in the movie, when after a long series of impossible situations (and a lot of ironic dialogue)between the two, Harry and Erica meet in the kitchen at midnight for a snack (pancakes). At some point of the conversation, after Harry tells her how he sees her, for a moment Erica seems truly moved and looking him straight in the eye says "I can't decide whether you hate me or...you're the only person who ever really got me".

Is such a beautiful scene because in a way it is just there when they begin to realize that the two probably are what some people call "soulmates". Someone who is out there and can "get you" as you really are, even beyond words.

Five stars comedy, one of the greatest scripts ever made, the greatest poignant dialogues and lines and a beautiful love story too.
