Something's Gotta Give was inspiring, romantic, and heartwarming, but certainly NOT for kids. The sexual content and language were both explicit. The themes of dating younger men/women make it a more mature film, and one that younger kids probably won't want to see. Appropriate for 16+, but not truly understandable to those who are not adults.

What Parents Need to Know
About Something's Gotta Give
Parents need to know that this movie is at the R-end of the PG-13 range, with very strong language, brief full frontal nudity and a bare behind, and explicit sexual references and situations. There are jokes about Viagra and menopause. In other words, this is a "grown-up" movie in subject matter and treatment. Characters smoke and drink and one gets tipsy. There are some tense situations.

Pretty Woman for Older Women
For those of us that are older, we will clearly identify with this movie. What Pretty Woman did for us in the 90s, this does it now.
- I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it
Good.
This was a heartwarming comedy. It was geared toward the upper teenage-adult age group, but it could be enjoyed by pretty much anyone. It wasn't a happy-go-lucky love story with childish behavior, but it was a story that many people could relate to. It wasn't set in an "imaginary" life where all the characters had amazing belongings that only millionares could afford, but the characters were down to earth. It was funny, sweet, and you left the theatre knowing that you spent your money well. I would like to buy this movie, because I know that I will enjoy it for years to come.

Great movie for mature audiences
This movie was funny and well written and created. I would not recommend if for children or even younger adults as the themes are geared toward an older crowd. You have to be pretty mature to understand all the hidden jokes. Otherwise, what a great, light and funny film. Perfect for parents looking for a break into a humerous situation.

Good movie for over 30 crowd
The movie was very funny if you are over 30, otherwise some of the humor may be lost to inexperience. There are some sex-related scenes that are inappropriate for teens. I liked the movie and would see it again, but definitely not with my children.
