| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Something's Gotta Give Movie Rating:  OK Adult Comedy
| |
| When Erica Barry (Diane Keaton) meets Harry Langer (Jack Nicholson), it's because he's dating her daughter (Amanda Peet). Their instant dislike of one another is tested when Harry suffers a heart attack and is confined to Erica's home. They warm up to each other, eventually falling into something resembling love, but there are complications, like a young doctor (Keanu Reeves) with a crush on Erica, Erica's various neuroses, and Harry's inability to be monogamous. | |
| The movie's own complications cause it to stumble as well: Its supporting characters (Jon Favreau and Frances McDormand) are never fleshed out, and the leads sometimes flirt with unfunny, sitcom-esque behavior. Still, it's a mature, adult comedy, Nicholson's usual smarminess isn't indulged, and Keaton hasn't been this much fun to watch in years. |
