Something's Gotta Give
Not enough can be said about how
absolutely charming Diane Keaton is in
this sweet and nutty romantic comedy. As
a 55-year-old playwright with an older
playboy (Jack Nicholson) and young
doctor (Keanu Reeves) falling for her, she
makes what could have been a
conventional slog massively enjoyable.
Much of the credit also goes to Nicholson,
who pokes fun at himself as a man
addicted to younger women.
Writer-director Nancy Meyers resorts to
routine romantic comedy garbage at a
few turns, but Nicholson and Keaton
overcome the inconsistencies. Reeves
does a nice job, freeing himself of the
stoic Matrix Neo, having some charming
fun. Expect Keaton to be in the running for
Oscar. It’s her best work since Annie
Hall.
