Something's Gotta Give (2003)
Sixty-three year old Harry (Jack Nicholson) has a reputation for dating girls a third his age. While taking Marin (Amanda Peet), his latest fling, back to her beach house for the weekend, he is taken aback when her mother Erica (Diane Keaton) unexpectedly turns up. From the very beginning, it is easy to tell that Erica doesn't care much for Harry. Suffering a heart attack while romancing Marin, Harry finds himself housebound with Erica, which turns out to be his only companion. As they grudgingly get to know each other something starts to stir, though as the hospital doctor, named Julian (Keanu Reeves), who treated him has taken a shine to Erica, Harry could have serious competition. Overall, I thought that the acting was pretty good, and the storyline managed to keep my attention. Personally I feel that Nancy Meyers usually tends to write intriguing story lines, such as Father of the Bride, The Holiday, It's Complicated, etc. Anyway, I thought that it was a pretty good movie, and I wouldn't mind watching it again.
I gave this movie 7/10 stars on imdb.com.
