Netflix now streaming 'perfect' rom-com fans think is the 'best of all time'

A beloved romantic-comedy film starring two Hollywood titans has just been added to Netflix.

Featuring two of the biggest names in cinema history in an “essentially perfect” romance, the movie was released over 20 years ago but has remarkably stood the test of time.

It stands out as one of the most popular and iconic rom-coms of the 21st Century so far and could be the perfect way to welcome the sunnier weeks ahead.

Immerse yourself in the sweet, sad and sexy glow of Nancy Meyers’ Something’s Gotta Give, led by Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson at their comedic best.

Nicholson himself called it “one of the best comedy scripts I’ve ever read, and I read everything”, so you’re guaranteed to be swept off your feet and left in stitches.

The two Hollywood icons star as playboy socialite Harry Sanborn and Erica Barry, a divorced playwright.

Harry refuses to date women under 30 but, when he and his latest girlfriend Marin (played by Amanda Peet) arrive at her beach house to find Marin’s mother, Erica, also plans on staying, and she’s scandalised by Harry's womanising.

However, a sudden medical emergency quickly places Harry under the care of Erica and her doctor, Julian Mercer (Keanu Reeves), and an unexpected love triangle begins to form.

Rom-com devotees have held up Something’s Gotta Give as a classic of the genre since its release back in 2003, and it’s now the perfect time to either revisit this swoon-worthy modern classic or dive into the tale for the very first time.

One die-hard fan of the flick on Letterboxd made the bold claim: “This is the greatest film ever made.”

“So fun, so sexy, so earnest,” another movie buff raved. “The dream romcom if I’m being honest.

“Nancy Meyers, the director/writer that you are…. Loved every second.

“So glad this takes its time really allowing us to settle into the headspaces of its characters as they themselves grapple with their feelings.”

And another user wrote: “There is perfection in imperfection. I'm in my feelings right now because of this so that's all I can say. This movie is beautiful and took me places I wasn't prepared to go. It's a wonderful life! I wouldn't change a thing.”

Someone else said: “I’m sorry but isn’t it the sweetest and [most] comforting love story of all time?

“No matter how many times I watch this movie it always has the same effect on me… just the same as warming up by the fireplace when it’s freezing outside… This is THE ULTIMATE COMFORT MOVIE.”

And a perfect five-star Google review reads: “I love this movie. I’ve watched several times over in the space of a week. The story line is enchanting.

“Jack Nicholson is at his best being weird Jack but, the most impressive performance comes from Diane Keaton! The scene where she is just crying while finishing her script is pure genius.

“I have always admired her acting but this is one of her best performances if not the best. Nicholson is superb also playing an old man who has trouble [accepting] his old age.

“A true cinema gem. Do yourself a favour and watch this. You won’t regret it.”

Make sure you put Something’s Gotta Give on the top of your watchlist now it’s the latest cinematic gem to be added to Netflix’s library.

Something’s Gotta Give is available to stream on Netflix.
