Master chef Kate Armstrong (Catherine Zeta-Jones) lives her life like she runs her kitchen at a trendy Manhattan eatery-with a no-nonsense intensity that both captivates and intimidates everyone around her. Kate's perfectionist nature is put to the test when she "inherits" her nine-year-old niece Zoe (Abigail Breslin), while contending with a brash new sous-chef who joins her staff. High-spirited and freewheeling, Nick Palmer (Aaron Eckhart) couldn't be more different from Kate, yet the chemistry between them is undeniable. Rivalry becomes romance, but Kate will have to learn to express herself beyond the realm of her kitchen if she wants to connect with Zoe and find true happiness with Nick.

Academy Award® winners Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton and Frances McDormand star with Keanu Reeves and Amanda Peet in a sophisticated romantic comedy Something's Gotta Give, from writer/director Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, The Parent Trap), which proves that in matters of the heart, you can expect the unexpected.
Harry Sanborn (Nicholson) is a perennial bachelor who only dates women under the age of 30. On what was to have been a romantic weekend with his latest infatuation, Marin (Peet), at her mother's Hamptons, New York beach house, Harry develops chest pains. Marin's mother Erica Barry (Keaton), a successful, divorced playwright, reluctantly agrees to help nurse him back to health. Once they are alone together, Harry is surprised to find himself drawn to Erica for all the right reasons. And despite her initial protestations about Harry, Erica finds herself rediscovering love. Romantic complications arise when Erica is also pursued by Harry's charming 30-something doctor, Julian Mercer (Reeves).
Once recovered, Harry returns home and goes back to his old ways. However, when his feelings for Erica prove to be life altering, Harry must undergo a true change of heart if he is to win her back.
For as long as Sarah can remember, she has been the black sheep of her family,
never knowing where she fits in. While she loves her father and sister, she can't relate to
their contented lives of country clubs and tennis matches. And for her, going home is
like staring down the gauntlet of the dull, settled-down life she fears is yawning out
before her.
The only thing that makes the trip bearable is the company of her acerbic
grandmother Katharine (SHIRLEY MacLAINE), who lets it slip that Sarah is not the first
one in the family to get cold feet - that, in fact, thirty years ago, Sarah's late mother ran
off with a mysterious young man days before her wedding to Sarah's father.
Curiously, around the same time, there was a rumor about a young woman who
ran off with a young man who had been seduced by the woman's mother, creating a huge
scandal in Pasadena. The rumor became a book, and the book became a film. Now, in
the midst of her sister's wedding, Sarah finds herself frantically searching for a copy of
1967 film The Graduate, believing her family may have been the inspiration for the story, with Katharine as the older woman and Sarah's own mother as the young man's true
love. Which leaves one question: who is the young man?
