ravitchn What a dumb movie! Two over aged swingers give each other the eye and take the consequences. It end however as happily bourgeois as possible.

quarterwavevertical I started watching it on cable earlier this evening, largely because I saw the previews of it on that channel. I switched it off after 45 minutes, partly because not much seemed to be happening. It's the sort of movie where one could stop watching and go do something else like, say, change the oil in one's car. One can then come back and continue watching without having missed a lot.The movie "Cactus Flower" covered a similar theme many years earlier and did it much better.Avoid this one and spend your time doing something worthwhile, such as doing your income tax return.

enije I've got to be honest. I have just watched this movie, 12 years after it premiered. I simply didn't have the stomach for another Jack and Diane movie, with two otherwise awesome actors doing the same thing again. This says a lot because I love Nancy Meyers films and must have watched the holiday at least ten times. And I was right. Jack is Jack and Diane is Diane. Its awkward and worn, albeit funny here and there. An absolute delight though, was Keanu Reeves. For a guy who is often typecast in roles as the mostly silent, pained, strained and/or not very bright guy, he is playing the role of his life here. He is witty, in tempi, charming and carefree - even a little bit audacious and he does not skip a beat. Any previous fans should watch this just for him and everybody else, like myself, should be a fan after watching this. Keanu, I saw a quote, where you call yourself "not very bright" - I refuse to believe that. One cannot act smart with that twinkle of "knowing" in their eyes unless they are smart. I rated this movie with a 7, but without Keanu it would only scratch the sole of a 4.

FilmBuff1994 Something's Gotta Give is a very mediocre movie with a very average storyline,but a talented cast.Its just a very plain and simple romantic comedy,Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton do their best with this boring script but they just aren't enough to make it very enjoyable.The movie was so predictable as well,I know you don't expect romantic comedies to be filled with twists,but I literally knew exactly what was going to happen in practically every scene.Somethings Gotta Give has it moments,but it's mostly just a mediocre romantic comedy that you would be better off avoiding. An ageing executive finds himself a trophy girlfriend,but when he meets her mother,a love triangle soon ensues.Best Performance: Jack Nicholson Worst Performance: Keanu Reeves
