Somethings Gotta Give (DVD ) 2004

like the old movie

For some reason, this disk is not comparable with any dvd players in my house. I buy DVD’s all the time and this is the only time I have had this happen.

Delivered on time - good product and fair price - thanks

This is a real feel-good romantic comedy, this could warm the hearts of those even with the toughest of skins. That is surely what is expected anyway with a cast like this, Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson, what more could you want? I first watched this movie online after being bored and wanting to watch something new, as soon as I realised this was a Nancy Meyers movie, I just knew that I was in for a treat. Some of my favourite movies are Nancy Meyers movies, The Parent Trap, Father of The Bride 1 & 2 and so it was apparent that this too would become one of my all time favourites and make me jealous of all the surroundings and beautiful houses and places.Diane Keaton gives a belting performance as Erica Barry a divorced playwright who's plays have been seen all over the world and are quiet famous we are lead to believe, she is alone and it is suggested that she stays inside most of the time writing instead of letting herself meet new people. She has a daughter Marin whom is scared of falling in love and getting hurt, she starts dating Harry a sixty-three year old very rich business man whom is prone for dating younger women and has not even seen a woman his own age naked which is quiet bizarre and you get the impression that he is your typical man who is happy to just sleep with someone and send them home as he has never been married and never experienced true love, Jack Nicholson portrays this with ease and shows that he is perfect for this role.Marin decides to take Harry to the beach house her mother owns in the Hamptons but unaware that her mother is there with her aunt for the weekend, they of course, cross paths and Erica discovers her daughters relationship with Harry and is not impressed. She takes it on her shoulders and decides they will all stay for the weekend and try and get on together. After dinner Marvin Gaye is heard in the background and after a few laughs you hear Marin's scream, Harry has of course from the 'excitement' had a heart attack.As not to spoil it any further I'll just summarize the rest, Erica has to look after Harry on her own at the beach house and what could come from that? As Harry's doctor takes a liking to Erica after seeing all of her plays and asks her out on dates and then Harry and Erica's hate soon turns into something completely opposite...Will Erica be able to turn the fun living, one night stand loving, young women loving Harry into the man who gets the lady?You will just have to buy it and watch, you will not regret it!!!The soundtrack is sublime.

I first saw the film in translation (never a good idea), yet it had me laughing out loud in the cinema; so it just gets better in the original.Highly recommended as therapy to us "ladies of a certain age". Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson spar beautifully.
