Something's Gotta Give

I was told from a colleague at work that I would like this film by writer/director Nancy Meyers ("What Women Want"). So I went and bought it. (By the way, I don't rent films anymore. What's the use? If I like it, I'd like to see it over and over again. If I don't like it, it becomes a Christmas gift ...hehehe)

All start cast - Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Frances McDormand, Amanda Peet and oh yes Keanu Reeves. Diane Keaton was simply spactacular and who doesn't love the antagonistic, cynical Nicholson. I only wished Frances's character had more visibility as she also is a tremendous actress and her character was very humorous and formidable.
My favorite line from the movie was actually from France's character:

Never married, which, as we know, if you were a woman, would be a curse. You'd be an old maid, a spinster.

The whole over-50 dating scene is geared towards men leaving older women out. And, as a result, the women become more and more productive...and, therefore, more and more interesting. While, in turn, makes them even less desirable because, as we know, men...especially older men are threatened and afraid of productive, interesting women. It is just so clear.

Single older women as a demographic are as f*&^*& a group as can exist.

It had its lull moments and the contrived, predictable hollywood ending and what woman over 50 (or over 30 for that sake) would turn down the advances of Keanu.

So if you don't mind sitting through some dry moments (the second hour), it's a pretty funny film saved by intelligent dialogues.

It's all about the dialogue! (hint hint, Becky!!)
