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.

Something's Gotta Give (2003): Dir: Nancy Meyers / Cast: Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Amanda Peet, Keanu Reeves, Frances McDormand: Amusing romantic comedy about relationships and commitment. Jack Nicholson stars as an ageing playboy who travels with his much younger girlfriend to a beach resort where her mother interrupts their romancing. After a sudden heart condition he is cared for by his girlfriend's mother. The film teases viewers with romance and denials allowing soul seeking resolutions. Directed by Nancy Meyers who previously made a similar film called What Women Want. Her films often regard relationship functions and what makes us tick and how others will react. Fine chemistry between Nicholson and Diane Keaton that boarders on shyness and resentment. This is overly predictable but both leads have charm and likable comic disposition that works. Amanda Peet is underwritten as Keaton's daughter who just disappears through most of the film and shows up when convenient. Keanu Reeves plays Nicholson's doctor who attempts a romance with Keaton. It plays as an opposite to Nicholson's romance to the much younger Peet with age difference coming into play. Frances McDormand plays Keaton's sister and the role is beneath what she is capable of. Strong theme regarding age and romance and what has to give to make it all work. Score: 6 ½ / 10

What is happening in this movie? I'm watching it right now, but I don't know. I mean if I had ten million dollars to make a movie it sure as sh*t would not be this movie. I would want to make a good movie, y'know, one that means something, but hey, I make pizzas for a living, the f*ck do I know. Did you know that when you employ actors to act they can simulate real life experiences? Yeah, it's true, all that is required is a director and a script- but you would never guess it with this movie. Maybe this movie would make sense if I was rich but clearly since my wheelhouse involves pizza dough, I don't understand. All of our lives for this, and we walk away with what?

That's right something is boring in Denmark and do you know what it is? I will give you ten guesses and all ten of those guesses should be this movie, because Something's Gotta Give is a very boring movie. There are obviously a couple of legend actors and actresses in this movie so it should be amazing but it is just an average romantic comedy with big time actors going through the paces and I guess just doing this for the big payoff at the end of the day. I was very disappointed and bored throughout. What should have been an 8 or 9 out of 10 is instead just a 4 and most of that is for the pretty good writing by whoever wrote this movie.
