Something’s Gotta Give

Does it make me some kind of sissy if I laughed a lot at this movie, and actually enjoyed it? I mean after all, it’s a romantic comedy with… old people? At least when you watch romantic comedies with young people in them you can tell your buddies that the actress in the movie is hot so it wasn’t so bad. I mean Diane Keaton, while still very attractive for a woman over 40 or 50 or however old she is, just isn’t someone you’d rave about to your buddies.

But of course, Grumpy Old Men, and Grumpier Old Men are two of my favorite movies of all time as well. And they feature old, grumpy people. Perhaps I relate to these older characters because I’m already somewhat of a grumpy old man myself, even though I’m only 22. You could ask any of my friends or my wife… I have a pretty solid reputation for being a grumpy old man that wants to chase the kids off my lawn with a shotgun most of the time.

Anyway, back to the movie. Story is good, characters are great, dialogue is good, acting is excellent, etc. You’ll probably hate it if you’re young, or not married, so don’t bother. If you’re older and/or married, you’ll probably enjoy it. I’m pretty sure my mom would be in hysterics if she saw it. So recommend it to your parents to watch or something, if you happen to still be in college or younger.

Gees, I’m never going to live this one down… :)

Rating: 4/5 I didn’t give it 5/5 because that would just be too much of a sissy thing to do! :)
