Alguien tiene que ceder

I kept thinking, while watching this movie, "I wish I could write a screenplay as good as this." Jack was Impeccable Jack. Diane was delightful and sexy and a wonderful role model for older women. Keanu showed more range than people give him credit for, and did an excellent job playing the role he was cast as - a supporting character, who is not supposed to outshine the lead roles, but rather enhance them (which he did). I was very pleased with this movie! It did have "several endings" which, actually, didn't detract but instead made me think, "Well, that's closer to the reality of what might happen," instead of being annoyed. As Jack's character says, "Finally, closure," and I was happy. It was a good movie and I liked it quite a lot. It'll be on my mind and in my thoughts for a while, which is the sign of an impactful movie.

After I had watched this movie I thought.. "How sweet to see an older couple falling in love like that on screen"! You may not understand what I mean by that but I'll explain.

I am pretty young (15 yrs. old) but mature to some my age! I love "love stories". And on average now you usually see the young/beautiful (in some ppl's opinions) people in love movies! And to see Diane & Jack play these roles.. and basically show that even when you are at that age how devine it is :) In my opinion I think Diane is beautiful also. My point is: I really enjoy seeing the older couples sometimes on screen... to know what my parents exactly go there & feel (but never tell me) like that. B/c that is

reality and truth -not just your young love, we don't stay young forever lol! But yes I know there are movies that have older couples, but they are usually just there. I mean on average movies most of the time excuse the fact that how much in love they still are (which I adore)... especially like this movie!

Alright on to the movie -I have read what people have been saying that Something's Gotta Give is predictable. Uhm well of course, I knew how it KINDA baselined to be from trailers also. But come on how many love stories do that?? They end up falling in love.. then have troubles.. at the end get together! A LOT. But to those who are reading this right now: IT IS NOT *ALL* PREDICTABLE!!

I love Keanu Reeves in this movie! He is very sweet and truly in love.. he was just right. I actually enjoyed him the best (besides Diane & Jack's love). Why you might ask? Hm.. let me just say Keanu played a better guy then Jack (him being a young ladies man/player).

But all in all I really liked it! At times (cus of its length) it may drag a little, but that is it's only faults. It has enough humor/love/sweetness, lol, to make it a great movie!! It all depends on your tastes too (I've heard from various ppl that mainly it's a married woman's type of movie). But anyone could like it I believe, so at your very least... you can rent it, hopefully then it'll be led to buying it :D

I give it a 8.5/10! *Alaina

I'm pretty sure I saw this in the theaters when it first came out (21 years ago). I don't remember enjoying it nearly as much as I did this time around. Maybe the "old jokes" just didn't land in my mid-30s like they did now that I'm old enough to appreciate them (or is it, be the brunt of them). Or maybe it's because being in love in the second half of your life is different than when there are more years ahead of you then behind you.

Either way, I thought this was a solid rom-com with some laugh out loud moments. Sure, there are some cliche moments too (like the writer turning her real life into art, and of course the overused bumping-into-someone-in-the-restaurant trope, c'mon writers there are thousands of restaurants in New York City; this can't happen THAT often) that keep this from being a great movie, but I give it a solid 7 rating.

Besides the two leads (Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton), there are great supporting roles from Keanu Reeves, Amanda Peet, Jon Favreau and the always brilliant Frances McDormand.

Movie shows genuine emotional journey of both genders in their post 50's life. Experiencing love for a second time with much confused ideologies. Wonderful script, direction, performances, bgm, locations. Movies just eats the time away. Save if for a nice breezy and cold weekend.

It's an enjoyable story with interesting characters who were all spoiled by over-acting. And then there's the times where it's got more cheese than Switzerland.
