SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE - is it worth owning?

I've read mixed reviews on this one. Is it worth owning or should I rent it first? Any input?

Rent...it's pretty fun in some places but drags and I have no desire to see it again. Also I hear the dvd is pretty lame-o.

I thought the movie was really funny...especially if you are older since you can relate to the characters. In terms of DVD extras I'm not sure what there is but definately a rental.

I loved the movie and will probably buy it. It is very funny and Nicholson and Keaton are fantastic. Check it out.

It was good. I'd definitely buy it, through Columbia House or FYE (it's only $10 after mail in rebate there) though. It was kind of long, but all Nancy Meyers flicks are (What Women Want was good, but also went on a little long). Plus, it's great seeing Keanu Reeves NOT as Neo.

It's enjoyable ... but I don't think it's a keeper.

I think this movie is one of the smartest adult comedies in years. All of the performances are great. Especially Keaton. It's her best work since "Annie Hall". For me, this is a no brainer. One of the years best, now on my shelf.

I thought it was good not great, though I see how those older than me might relate more and thus enjoy it more. There were REALLY draggy parts, though...the whole movie could have been significantly shortened with nothing important left out.

The theater where my wife and I saw the movies was packed and everyone was laughing. There are sceens that are very touching and you can relate to them the older you are.

The other couple that saw the movie with us (who were also in their 40's) loved the movie and said it was one of the best "mature" comedies in a while.

After my wife and I saw the movie, she said that I should buy the movie when it comes on DVD.
