Something's Gotta Give (2003)

In Nancy Meyers' delightful romantic comedy *Something's Gotta Give*, music industry titan Harry Sanborn (Jack Nicholson) lives by a simple rule: never date women over 30. His predictable lifestyle is hilariously upended when he suffers a heart attack at the Hamptons beach house of Marin (Amanda Peet), his latest much younger girlfriend. Forced to recuperate under the surprisingly capable and witty care of Marin's sophisticated mother, Erica (Diane Keaton), a renowned playwright, Harry finds himself unexpectedly drawn to a woman closer to his own age. What begins as a reluctant cohabitation blossoms into an unlikely connection, complicated by the presence of Erica's charming doctor, Julian (Keanu Reeves). *Something's Gotta Give* is a quintessential Nancy Meyers film, perfectly embodying her signature blend of sophisticated humor, relatable characters, and aspirational settings. Meyers excels at crafting stories that explore the complexities of mature relationships with warmth and intelligence, and this film is a prime example. The sharp dialogue, the effortless chemistry between Nicholson and Keaton, and the beautifully realized domestic spaces all contribute to a film that feels both luxurious and deeply human. It’s a celebration of second chances, the enduring power of love, and the idea that it’s never too late to find happiness, making it an undeniable highlight in her beloved filmography.
