Something's Gotta Give is 1 of the cooler & sexier movies
30 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
An older man who loves younger women has a heart attack and falls in love with a woman closer to his age. (Writing plot summarys are hard.)

Nancy Meyers wrote and directed Something's Gotta Give. She wrote her first 2 movies for Goldie Hawn, Private Benjamin and Protocol, then Nancy wrote her next movies Baby Boom and Father of the Bride 1 & 2 for Diane Keaton, and this, then she wrote The Holiday and It's Complicated and The Intern for Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Meryl Streep, and Anne Hathaway, respectively, (I'm a guy.) among writing many other really good 1s 2. She also directed those last 3 and What Women Want and The Parent Trap. (Yeah Nancy, I looked you up on the internet.) I love Nancy Meyers, and I didn't know that until today. I love this and What Women Want, and Protocol, and Irreconcilable Differences.

Jack is around 65. Diane is around 55. Frances is around 45. Keanu is around 40. And Amanda (like myself) is around 30. A 65 year old gentleman dates a 30 year old lady then dates her 55 year old mother who is dating a 40 year old doctor with a 45 year old Frances not dating anybody. (Does anybody meet anyone their own age these days?)

I love how cool and how sexy Something's Gotta Give is. All these characters are really cool and really sexy, but Jack and Diane's characters are next level super cool and super sexy (kinda like Nancy). This is a beautiful movie, a very beautiful movie. It's really funny.
