jamawag Cast, story, performances, SETS - all reasons to watch. Huge Nancy Meyers fan and this doesn't disappoint. It's smart and stylish and I lock it in every time I find it on TV. Eagerly await her next film. Dunno why they enforce a length for reviews, but I've said what I wanted to say. If you're a fan of romcoms and you like architecture/interior design, Nancy Meyers has gotta be on your radar.

Kirpianuscus one of the films seductive for its lead actors. and for the story who is the comfortable armor for theirs performances. a comedy , not great but more than nice, interesting because it seems be a well known story, provocative because it is an artistic duel between great actors and surprising because Meryl Streep has not chance to be the same and Alec Baldwin has the perfect partner for a great show. a film about past, love, friendship and family. nothing original. at the first sigh. but adorable.for art and humor and the fine irony.

Katerina Robertovla I highly recommend reading the IMDb review titled "Garbage." This reviewer tackled all the major failures in this film and I totally agree with him. So, I will not restate those points, but will offer just a few of my own comments.Here's my two cents: I feel the script, directing and subsequent acting is grossly sub-par. If I have to see Meryl Streep laugh like a 13 year old one more time I'm going to throw up. The whole company of actors in this film are simply mugging for the camera. It is just hammy, hammy, hammy all the way around.This brings to mind the hilarious SNL skits titled "Master Thespian." Jon Lovitz is superb as he skewers actors. If you do a Google search for SNL + Jon Lovitz + Master Thespian + NBC, you will find there are seven skits at the NBC website to enjoy. They are all beautifully written, acted and directed. Simply genius."Acting!""Genius!""Thank you! "

Gideon24 Sparkling performances from the stars make the 2009 comedy It's Complicated seem a lot better than it might really be.I love when Meryl Streep gets to lighten up and she runs with the opportunity that director-writer Nancy Meyers has provided for her here. Streep plays Jane Adler, a lonely-but-in-denial-about-it California divorcée who flies to Manhattan for her son's college graduation and reconnects with her ex-husband, Jake (Alec Baldwin) in more ways than one, despite the fact that he is married to a frosty bitch (Lake Bell) who already has a son but wants another one with Jake. The reconnection between Jake and Jane actually turns into an affair, which becomes complicated by Jane's attraction to her architect (Steve Martin).Another review I read of this film stated that one of the things wrong with this movie is that it displayed middle-aged people behaving like teenagers, but I think that's one of things I liked about this movie...I like the fact that this movie addresses the fact that love and sex and lust don't stop after you turn 21. Meyers doesn't shy away from the fact that these are middle-aged people in a comic romantic triangle...I love the fact that Alec Baldwin wasn't afraid to show his pot belly or that even though they were married for 20 years, Jane makes Jake turn around when she puts on her robe.Meyers' screenplay is not as good as her direction, but the actors make the screenplay seem a lot better than it really is. Streep creates a flawed and fascinating character in Jane, a woman whose lifelong obsession with doing the right thing is challenged by what she thinks might be a new start with something familiar. Alec Baldwin's slick performance as the morally questionable Jake is on the money. Jake does a lot of lousy things in this movie but Baldwin always keeps the character likable. In a refreshing change of pace, Steve Martin actually plays straight man to Baldwin and creates a sweet character who you know is going to get the shaft. Mention should also be made of a scene- stealing turn from John Krasinski as Streep's soon to be son-in-law, who learns of the affair and has to keep it a secret.The film alternates between slapstick and moments of genuine warmth. The pair of scenes where Streep and Baldwin individually try to explain the affair ring true, even if the kids' reaction to it doesn't. If you're a fan of Streep or Baldwin, this film will not disappoint.
