: Something’s Gotta Give

A suprisingly good film about adult relationships. Jack Nicholson’s a 64-year-old who dates girls under 30 and never commits. While visiting his girlfriend’s beach house, he has a mild heart attack and can’t leave, and ends up being cared for by the girlfriend’s mom, a famous playwright in her fifties. The two end up falling in love and she turns their relationship into a hit Broadway play. Full of good humor and fun, the film has a number of serious moments as the man struggles to come to terms with commitment and his “older” relationship. Unfortunately, it goes on too long (it’s over two hours) and a few of the extra scenes don’t add much to the story. Still, above average.
