Indeed, I am old enough to be an embarassment to my children. But this is part of the fun of the movie, too. At 55, and a boomer, I initially found the love scenes between Jack and Diana to be blush... Full review

A sophisticated and hilarious comedy of errors about mature love, Somethings Gotta Give offers wit, charm and an unexpected poignancy from acutely truthful observations.
There are plenty of magical moments the casual sleepover pajama party in the middle of the night that turns out differently to what is expected and the overtly moving scene when tears are shed for the first time.

Review by Louise Keller: A sophisticated and hilarious comedy of errors about mature love, Somethings Gotta Give offers wit, charm and an unexpected poignancy from acutely truthful observations.
As the film begins, we fear that were going to get a Jack Nicholson retrospective, but that quickly gives way to some remarkable moments, scenes where he seems for the first time to open himself and reveal some of the real (and now wiser, older, matured) Jack, in the role of Harry.

Matching him quip for quip is Diane Keaton, who gets to show off what a gifted comic actress she is (her crying jag over one bust-up vies with Nicholsons exposed-arse-in-hospital-gown promenade as the movies funniest scene).
Depicted as the funkiest fiftysomething ever, youll totally buy it when Nicholson and Keanu Reeves (achieving a level of charm usually beyond his grasp) become rivals for her affections.

Dialogue was clear and sepereated well, and the score crept up at just the right moments.
Keaton delivers an excellent performance as well...
The story does get a bit long towards the end, but all is forgiven once the happy ending ensues.

While not bad, the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack of Something's Gotta Give seemed pretty bland.
Still, Something's Gotta Give seems generally entertaining.
Music appeared bright and acceptably lively, with reasonably good range.
