      Yeah, Bam, this film was discussed a while back. That hospital scene was hilarious, wasn't it. And what I like about Jack recently is the fact he is playing his age, as he did also in ABOUT SCMIDT.

          Even though I had the DVD for sometime' I just didn't get around to watching it ... till last nite.

          The result? Laffed my head off. I think that Jack Nicholson has to rate as one of the best actors ever. His mannerisms / twitching of eyebrows / scowls / hair etc etc really contri bute to any scene he's put in. As a comedic actor I think he's one of the rare few who have got their timing just right to obtain the maximum effect. Another that comes to mind is Billy Crystal.

          My admiration for Jack is also that he can do other roles (A Few Good Men / The Shining etc - all different types). De Niro is another multi charqacter actor as well.

          Anyway i agree with George that the hospital scene was hilarious. The other was the "walking around at 2am" and the "intruder at the fridge" scene.

          The movie started well but I felt it slowed down towards the end. The brilliance of the 1st half was not matched by the sentimentality of the 2nd. Also saw "Love Actually" recently and comparing between the 2, I think "Something's Gotta Give" is better !

              I just watched this one myself. As everyone has said, this is a very good film. I laughed and laughed and laughed. Keaton really had great chemistry with Nicholson. As great as Nicholson is, I think it was Keaton that makes this film's magic. Maybe I'm under selling Nicholson's performance. but, I expect nothing less form Nicholson than what he delivered in this and every other film that I've seen him in.

                  SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE probably not for the younger audience
                  by George Bellefontaine
                  In Something's Gotta Give, Jack Nicholson is playing his own age again, and that is a good thing. But the the difficulties of aging theme might not be for the younger folks, who also didn't like Something About Schmidt.

                  In Something's Gotta Give, Jack is a 63 year old bachelor still trying...

                  Hi,

                  Tonight I saw “Something's Gotta Give” with Jack the MAN. What a nice funny movie. This one is the defiantly a keeper when it comes on DVD. Lots of laughs and not a bad story. Not as good as “As Good As it Gets” (sorry, too many as’s ), but still very good.

                  Jack Bruce RIP
                  by bigburner
                  My favourite bass player Jack Bruce died yesterday aged 71. A very sad day. Jack was best known for his work with Cream in the 1960s.

                  Last night I watched his 1998 DVD 'The Cream of Cream' as a tribute. It's half documentary, half...

                  Jack The Ripper, that is... in FROM HELL. Stars Johnny Depp as the Inspector who solves the identity of Jack The Ripper, and Heather Thomas who plays an intended Ripper victim. This is another take on the identity of The Ripper, and based on some known actuall facts, it is certainly plausible that there...

                  I picked up this gem because of a glowing review in...I think it was spin magazine, it's "Jack Bruce; Cities of the Heart" on CMP records.
                  Having grown up listening to Cream, West-Bruce and Lang, and other works of his that don't come to mind right now, I thought I knew what to expect....
