A Disappointing Continuation
Beystiman
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Suman Roberson
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

What a dumb movie! Two over aged swingers give each other the eye and take the consequences. It end however as happily bourgeois as possible.

An older man who loves younger women has a heart attack and falls in love with a woman closer to his age. (Writing plot summarys are hard.)Nancy Meyers wrote and directed Something's Gotta Give. She wrote her first 2 movies for Goldie Hawn, Private Benjamin and Protocol, then Nancy wrote her next movies Baby Boom and Father of the Bride 1 & 2 for Diane Keaton, and this, then she wrote The Holiday and It's Complicated and The Intern for Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Meryl Streep, and Anne Hathaway, respectively, (I'm a guy.) among writing many other really good 1s 2. She also directed those last 3 and What Women Want and The Parent Trap. (Yeah Nancy, I looked you up on the internet.) I love Nancy Meyers, and I didn't know that until today. I love this and What Women Want, and Protocol, and Irreconcilable Differences.Jack is around 65. Diane is around 55. Frances is around 45. Keanu is around 40. And Amanda (like myself) is around 30. A 65 year old gentleman dates a 30 year old lady then dates her 55 year old mother who is dating a 40 year old doctor with a 45 year old Frances not dating anybody. (Does anybody meet anyone their own age these days?)I love how cool and how sexy Something's Gotta Give is. All these characters are really cool and really sexy, but Jack and Diane's characters are next level super cool and super sexy (kinda like Nancy). This is a beautiful movie, a very beautiful movie. It's really funny.

I've got to be honest. I have just watched this movie, 12 years after it premiered. I simply didn't have the stomach for another Jack and Diane movie, with two otherwise awesome actors doing the same thing again. This says a lot because I love Nancy Meyers films and must have watched the holiday at least ten times. And I was right. Jack is Jack and Diane is Diane. Its awkward and worn, albeit funny here and there. An absolute delight though, was Keanu Reeves. For a guy who is often typecast in roles as the mostly silent, pained, strained and/or not very bright guy, he is playing the role of his life here. He is witty, in tempi, charming and carefree - even a little bit audacious and he does not skip a beat. Any previous fans should watch this just for him and everybody else, like myself, should be a fan after watching this. Keanu, I saw a quote, where you call yourself "not very bright" - I refuse to believe that. One cannot act smart with that twinkle of "knowing" in their eyes unless they are smart. I rated this movie with a 7, but without Keanu it would only scratch the sole of a 4.

That's right something is boring in Denmark and do you know what it is? I will give you ten guesses and all ten of those guesses should be this movie, because Something's Gotta Give is a very boring movie. There are obviously a couple of legend actors and actresses in this movie so it should be amazing but it is just an average romantic comedy with big time actors going through the paces and I guess just doing this for the big payoff at the end of the day. I was very disappointed and bored throughout. What should have been an 8 or 9 out of 10 is instead just a 4 and most of that is for the pretty good writing by whoever wrote this movie.
