Funny bone most likely to 'give'

Movie review of "Something's Gotta Give".
Published on facebook.com, 7th September 2007.

Hilarious, perceptive, and endearing performances from Keaton and Nicholson in this 'coming of age' meets rom-com flick. Reeves is his usual d'uh self although even he manages to be convincing enough as the younger suitor for Keaton's attentions. Peet does an OK job of supporting the main cast but this is really a Jack and Diane movie, with Jack's self-analysis and late-in-life discovered mortality/conscience and Keaton's creativity-causing grief being the two constant sources of laughs from beginning to end. Romantic enough for her, and funny enough for him with a happy ending that doesn't make the viewer cringe. Recommended.
