Something's Got To Give

I went and caught Something's Got To Give today for a bit of escapist fluff. And that's exactly what it was. It's a cute enough movie, formulaic and unsurprising. Keaton does good work (with the exception of a far too extended crying jag towards the end of the film); I'm not sure if the Academy nominated her because of her work or because she's who she is. Jack, well, he's playing a character that's written to be an awfully lot like Jack Nicholson. Keanu Reeves and Amanda Peet both appear, but they more of took up space and moved the story along than did actual acting. They didn't have much chemistry with either Keaton or Nicholson (respectively).

Watch time: 1:14.
