Amazon.co.uk Review:
As upscale sitcoms go, Something's Gotta Give has more to offer than most romantic comedies. Obviously working through some semi-autobiographical issues regarding "women of a certain age", writer-director Nancy Meyers brings adequate credibility and above-average intelligence to what is essentially (but not exclusively) a fantasy premise, in which an ageing lothario who's always dated younger women (Jack Nicholson, more or less playing himself) falls for a successful middle-aged playwright (Diane Keaton) who's convinced she's past the age of romance, much less sexual reawakening.
As long as old pals Nicholson and Keaton are on screen discussing their dilemma or discovering their mutual desire, Something's Gotta Give is terrific, proving (in case anyone had forgotten) that Hollywood can and should aim for an older demographic. Meyers falls short with the sitcom device of a younger lover (Keanu Reeves) who wants Keaton as much as Nicholson does; it's believable but shallow and too easily dismissed. She also skimps on supporting roles for Frances McDormand, Amanda Peet and Jon Favreau, but thankfully this is one romantic comedy that doesn't pander to youth. Mature viewers, rejoice! --Jeff Shannon

- Appalling
Aside from this not being very funny or even mildly interesting the film is a prime example of how certain people - probably members of the male sex, would still like to believe than an old, fat, ugly man can be a 'babe magnet' purely because he has a bid wad (of cash).
At the begining a wheezing, viagra popping Nicholson dates a beautiful girl at least 35 years younger than himself, not because he is interested in a serious relationship, can offer her love, support and affection on ... Read More

- Ticks all the boxes
I loved this film. It has all the essential pre-requisites of a great romantic comedy: Genuine comedy, witty dialogue, interesting, well-acted leading roles, sexual chemistry & emotional tenderness, plot complications, a fabulous feel-good factor and beautiful locations. Erica's house is a dream and Paris is just dreamy. The film combines these great ingredients into a perfect rom-com, like curling up on your sofa, barefoot in your pyjamas and digging into a late-night chocolate fudge dessert.

- A Great Feel Good Movie.
Don't question the agenda of a Jack Nicholson fan, because I am wholly aware that without his presence this film would fail to light my fire! Okay so Jack Nicholson's not your usual leading man material, and yes I can understand why many women are mind boggled by Diane Keaton's decision to choose him over the lovely Keanu Reeves in `Something's Gotta Give'. But the simple fact of the matter remains that Nicholson exudes a devilish charm and infectious charisma unparalleled by any other actor as far ... Read More
Rating: - A matter of personal taste
I watched this film some years back, and it stuck it my memory as one to watch again. I have mixed feelings with regards to Jack Nicholson and tended to refrain from watching Diane Keaton's films as many were with Woody Allen, who I cannot stand! So WHY was this film so memorable, to me?
Well, the characters (as others have pointed out) were somewhat stereotyped, but is this necessarily a fault in the plot? Aren't all of us, in some way, stereotypical, either in our personalities, lifestyles ... Read More
Rating: - Old actors getting together!
This is a classic romantic comedy with three (I'll let you decide) of America's great thespians. He, Jack Nicholson IS a Jack the Lad and he's having a fling with Diane Keaton's daughter, add Frances McDormand as Keaton's sister and throw Keanu Reeves in for the eye candy, what is there not to like? It funny and spot on, the ending is a little weak but hey, this is Hollywood.
