CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
[Keaton and Nicholson] bring so much experience, knowledge and humor to their characters that the film works in ways the screenplay might not have even hoped for.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Mike Clark
But let's not mislead about acting gold: Without Nicholson and Keaton, the movie would be fair. With them, it's one of the few good romantic comedies this year. What we gotta give is thanks.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lisa Schwarzbaum
Every moment spent in the company of Keaton... is such a joy that the whole is more delightful than the sum of the formulaic ingredients. Keaton makes Nicholson bounce the way Shirley MacLaine once did in ''Terms of Endearment.''Read Full Review »

ROLLING STONE: Peter Travers
In an era of dumb farce, Something's Gotta Give is something special.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Steven Rea
With the likes of Nicholson, Keaton, Reeves and Peet -- and a fleeting, funny few minutes with McDormand -- Something's Gotta Give is never less than entertaining. And once in a while it's sweetly, and extremely, funny.Read Full Review »

Slate: David Edelstein
I love Nicholson here because he lets Keaton take the movie--and his relative reticence is very attractive.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Desson Thomson
It is a well written, nicely acted and smoothly directed battle of the sexes.Read Full Review »
