5.0 out of 5 stars
Charming and intelligent, July 15 2004
This review is from: Something's Gotta Give (Widescreen) (DVD)
While I am nowhere near a 50 something, and closer to a 30 something, I can still appreciate an intelligent romantic comedy with a convincing and witty cast. I love Diane Keaton's character, especially with her quirky hang-ups (no pun.) Humor, charm, intellect and vulnerability ring true for both her and Nicholson, to whom before this movie, I was not a huge fan. It inspires us all to develop our skills and talents and to never give up on finding our soul mate, regardless of how late in life he/she might arrive. It was precious in some parts, and soulful in others. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

4.0 out of 5 stars
equal parts comedy/romance/drama, Feb 1 2008
for once,we have a comedy/romance/drama that actually contains all
three elements in pretty equal measure.the main cast are all very good
in this one,as are the supporting players.i found the movie
heartwarming and touching,without being maudlin.the comedy bits are
handled well as are the dramatic and romantic moments.the movie is
dramatic without being melodramatic.the romantic moments are tender,but
not overdone.the comics moments are funny without being silly.the laugh
are honest in this movie.i felt the dialogue was sharp and witty,and
the story overall is written well.this is what might be considered a
"chick flick",but i'm a guy and i liked it.for me Something's Gotta
Give is a 4/5

Great rip off movie, July 14 2004
This review is from: Something's Gotta Give (Widescreen) (DVD)
Hey all I am 24 years old. I liked this movie alot. I was very sweet. But, I noticed one thing strange that I did not like about this movie. The whole time I was watching (this is the only reason it is not a five star movie) the movie I keep thinking where is Helen Hunt. Then I had to remind myself this is not "As Good As It Gets". Also an excellent movie. The movie just mimiced "As Good As It Get". Weird rich guy, falls in love with woman. Woman finally falls in love with rich guy. Nicholson was awesome as usuall. I do how ever recommend that you see the movie. Well worth it.
