External critics' reviews

The moments between the characters are absolutely full. It's a pleasure to watch such consummate professionals. more

bring so much experience, knowledge and humor to their characters that the film works in ways the screenplay might not have even hoped for. more

But let's not mislead about acting gold: Without Nicholson and Keaton, the movie would be fair. With them, it's one of the few good romantic comedies this year. What we gotta give is thanks. more

Every moment spent in the company of Keaton... is such a joy that the whole is more delightful than the sum of the formulaic ingredients. Keaton makes Nicholson bounce the way Shirley MacLaine once did in ''Terms of Endearment.'' more

Its script is sharp, its dialogue is acerbic, its stars could hardly be better and, in its more sparkling moments, it exudes some of the flavor and charm of the later Hepburn-Tracy comedies. more

Nobody else working in movies today can make her (Keaton) own misery such a source of delight or make the spectacle of utter embarrassment look like a higher form of dignity. more

Diane Keaton has the crucial role, and she makes the most of it.

Generally quite amusing, with a brilliant cast. more

In an era of dumb farce, Something's Gotta Give is something special. more

Doesn't always sizzle, but its stars do. more
