It's Actually Not That Complicated; Tuesday, Second Period, 10/18.
"Alright, guys," said Rosa, "we're finally getting into the real good stuff, where Meyers has found her stride as a writer and director and really put out a string of iconic, career-defining movements that will take us through the end of the class. Starting with 2003's Something's Gotta Give, almost entirely written, directed, and produced by Meyers herself. We've got powerhouse leads in Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson, as two powerhouses who, in a series of hilarious events, wind up clashing and, eventually connecting, in more ways than one. And, hey, the big climatic moment takes place in Paris, and we were just there, so that's kind of cool.
"For the most part," she continued, "it was generally well received, with most of its praise going toward the performances and the fact that it was a rare example of an 'adult romantic comedy,' aka a 'hey, old people still like to bone, too' movie. It has very flawed, realistic characters than show growth and give throughout the movie, it's a good story, gorgeous sets, great actors....and Keanu Reeves.
"And let's not entirely gloss over the fact that Keaton's character's ex-husband directed all of her plays, considering Meyers' own professional relationship with her own ex. But I'm sure that's just coincidence.
"But enough preamble," she concluded, "let's let the movie speak for itself, and we'll talk about what we can take from afterwards. I will admit, since it's clearly gear more toward an audience of Meyers' peers, it will be interesting to hear the opinion of a much younger demographic."
Unless that opinion was that it sucked, in which case you were clearly an idiot.
