I disagree with you. My wife is 32 years old and she said she preferred Nicholson's character to Reeves'. She said any relationship with Reeves would be totally unbelievable for Keaton.
As for my opinion of the movie, I liked it. I'm not a fan of Keaton but she was fantastic in this. Her crying scene alone earned her an Oscar nomination and made me laugh out loud. Nicholson is good as usual but this was a standard performance for him. Amanda Peet, Frances McDormand, and even Keanu are all good in their supporting roles. McDormand's speech at the table is one of the movie's highlights. She's the type of actress that can appear in a movie for 5 or 10 minutes and make it one the movies most memorable parts.
My grade: B+

Re: Something's Gotta Give
Simply terrible.
Oh, the things Nancy Meyers forces talented people to do in the name of middle-aged pandering! And can we get this woman a decent editor? Romantic so-called comedies shouldn't feel longer than your average sword-and-sandal epic.
Get back with Charles Shyer. Their Parent Trap remake was completely entertaining, pleasurable fluff.

Re: Something's Gotta Give
This is a special, wonderful, fulfilling and uplifting film. I love it. I saw it way back and loved it, more-or-less forgot it, just watched it again and loved it all over again. That's the sign of a true classic.
Nicholson is just on another level of stardom. Regardless of film or role, he just oozes a magnetism like no other. He can be an obsessed retired police officer, a mafia crime boss, a publisher-turned-werewolf, or a heart-attack twilight lover like he is here ... and he's perfect in them all. And Diane Keaton is like the female version of Jack. She's lovely to watch.
Sensational film.
