Something’s Gotta Give (2003)

Comedies don’t always get nominated for Oscars as much as dramas, but Something’s Gotta Give (2003) starring Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton is worthy of as much acclaim as more serious films. The movie was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Diane Keaton) who has a romantic relationship with guess who, Keanu Reeves. Reeves’ performance is unsurprisingly flat but Jack Nicholson makes every scene memorable. Something’s Gotta Give arrives on Netflix August 1st.
