Something's Gotta Give is exactly the kind of 'adult' dreck that you'd expect to see on Broadway.

A comedy of manners (and mannerisms) with two of the most mannered movie stars of our time, Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson, acting all over the place until you surrender with the ecstasy of pure pleasure.

Ms. Keaton projects her wondrously warm personality, and the erstwhile Jake Gittes keeps us entertained with a sense of irony that keeps things from getting too sticky.

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