When aging womanizer Harry Sanborn (Jack Nicholson) and his young girlfriend, Marin (Amanda Peet), arrive at her family's beach house in the Hamptons, they find that her mother, dramatist Erica Barry (Diane Keaton), also plans to stay for the weekend. Erica is scandalized by the relationship and Harry's sexist ways. But when Harry has a heart attack, and a doctor (Keanu Reeves) prescribes bed rest at the Barry home, he finds himself falling for Erica -- who, for once, may be out of his league.

Critics Consensus

Though it occasionally stumbles into sitcom territory, Something's Gotta Give is mostly a smart, funny romantic comedy, with sharp performances from Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, and Keanu Reeves.

The movie, which ricochets between farce and poignancy, casts just enough romantic pixie dust to leave you smiling. It's certainly not the last word on the subject, but it's an amiable start.

It pays homage to the great pulse of warmth still, 27 years later, being given off by Annie Hall, and Keaton basks in the attention. You can hear the beat of her triumphant heart.

3/4

After nearly two hours of bliss, the movie tacks on a disastrous ending that’s a complete betrayal of what has preceded it.

In teaming up with Nancy Meyers and Jack Nicholson for Something’s Gotta Give, Diane Keaton delivered one of her best roles in the latter part of her career.

Something’s Gotta Give,but did it have to be Keaton? Her magic will live on in this romcom classic where she embraces everything that she is, and the audience does too.

Just came back from watching the rerelease of this in the local theater. Last time I saw it was when it first came out. So good! it really didn’t seem dated at all. I highly recommend this film. It’ll make you laugh and it’ll make you cry.

I have loved this movie for decades. I miss Diane Keaton, who passed away recently. I miss Jack Nicholson, who has been in retirement for years. Frances McDormand and Keanu Reeves too!?! The cast is awesome. The story is romantic and magical and complicated and a great ride! The writing, acting and scenes are beautiful! I highly recommend. It's a little chicken flick, but not too much. Both men and women will enjoy this film for sure.

It was great to see this today for the very time ever and in a theater. A fitting tribute to Diane Keaton to release this in theaters. Tremendous acting as expected. Great story!
