We Recommend SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE

Nancy Meyers' latest film, ITS COMPLICATED (to be released on Christmas day), has received 3 Golden Globe nominations, including a nomination in the Best Picture category. The film stars Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin (the 2 hosts of the Academy Awards), along with Meryl Streep, who stars as a 60-something divorcee having an affair with her ex-husband. Director Meyers has a knack for creating refreshing romance comedies starring divorcee characters who are 20 to 30 years older than your average boring romcom star, just as she did in this wonderful film, SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE. You know how watching Adam Sandler in FUNNY PEOPLE was sort of like watching a biography of Adam Sandler (if he had actually been diagnosed with a terminal illness)? This movie is sort of like that, but infinitely less depressing. If you imagined what would happen if the snarky, iconic Jack Nicholson fell in love with the independent, confident Diane Keaton at the age of 65, it might look a lot like this: two egos, stranded at a mansion in the Hamptons, who are too successful and hardened to realize they might actually like each other. We didn't expect to like this film, but we did. Think of it as the romance comedy for people who don't like romance comedies.
