Something's Gotta Give
An ageing serial dater of young women finally meets his match with his latest nubile conquest's mother. Wrinkly romantic comedy, starring Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton
Marketed as starring 'Jack & Diane', as if the veteran screen legends were fresh-faced kids from a John Mellencamp song, Nancy (What Women Want) Meyers' light-hearted look at the battle of the sexes shows an appreciation of its principle strengths. It's hard to imagine her confection working at all without the relaxed charm of its star duo.
As Harry Sanborn, a womanising hip-hop label owner, Nicholson's overworked eyebrows seem at times to conspire directly with an audience who know in detail his own extensive experience of May-December romances. And Keaton's buttoned-up, acclaimed p...

Clearly acted,large cast and nice scenario all help this film to be single of the finery from pattern year.

Not as creepy as it could have been
This is a more rare exempli gratia of a film which verges on the mawkish and sentimental (and deeply aspirational in terms of the wealth of the characters) but can be enjoyable too -- depending on your mood.
Diane Keaton is excellent as a unwell of Martha Stewart- character, and Jack Nicholson, after once, isn't wholly repellent since he embodies the personality of his unattractive position.
As is often the case with American movies, it's let down at hand a toe-curlingly saccharine ending, but on the well it's a pleasant enough film for a rainy evening.
