David Ansen Newsweek 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. Mar 12, 2018 Full Review Antonia Quirke London Evening Standard 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. Dec 20, 2017 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Delightful comedy, older teens and parents only. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy 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. Rated: 94/100 Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies ...a romantic comedy classic... Sep 14, 2021 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site The film is dangerously slender and predictable, the happy ending apparently unavoidable. One can see the latter coming from a considerable distance, but one is helpless to do anything about it. Feb 15, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Lisa I loved it. I wish they made more movies like this nowadays. We will miss you, Diane Keaton. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review Kim Best movie ever ❤️❤️❤️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/25 Full Review Jean O This has been one of my favorite movies since it came out. The love triangle between Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton and Keanu Reeves was one of the most enchanting I've ever seen. These actors were perfect in their roles! My DVD of this movie has been viewed many times and I'm worried it will soon wear out, lol. I cannot believe that such a highly rated movie does not have a Blu-ray release!!! Columbia-Tristar/Warner Home Video please give us a long overdue Blu-ray (or even better,4K) release!!! In memory of Diane...RIP Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/25 Full Review Kar L Interesting romance of Jack Nicholson's character invading the bland beach life of 3 women... one of which he becomes enamored by. Fun and funny, not too serious. Good performances by all, BTW. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review Dream W. Absolutely wonderful film. Loved it from beginning to the end. Jack Nicholson always gives a star performance and Diane Keaton plays such a lovably strong and independent woman! I could not believe it when I saw Keanu Reeves pop up in this flick!!! He was as charming in this movie as he is in real life! The film itself tears you in every single direction all throughout... Everyone should watch it if they get the chance! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Elizabeth B My favorite Keaton movie, looooved it!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
