In Reply to: Recent Nicholson films posted by Wayne Parham on November 28, 2004 at 14:04:04:
Yes as good as it gets was vintage Nicholson. Somethings Got To Give I liked except for the obvious overacting in some of Dianne's scenes, where she kept crying endlessly. I thought Jack took a film designed to pay homage to all those Mike Nichols; Howard Hawks type screwball love stories and offered his own unique perspective. The repartee' between the two stars captured the fun and wit of those older comedies and that wit is what I feel is missing in many of todays films. Regardless of how sophisticated our teenagers become, they are not adults and do not think like adults. It is refreshing to hear adult dialogue in a current film.
