I saw It's Complicated last night with two girlfriends, and it had us roaring with laughter. Nancy Meyers has done it again with this adult comedy starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin play ex-spouses who have been divorced for 10 years, and he has remarried a much younger woman. During the weekend when their son graduates, they rekindle their relationship. Meryl also has a burgeoning romance with her architect played by Steve Martin. As the movie title says, It's Complicated.
There were several scenes in the movie that has us nearly on the floor with laughter, especially the scene you've seen a bit of in the trailer, where Meryl and Steve are stoned on pot at a party. Hilarious!!
All three actors are excellent, the writing sparkles (Leap Year writers, take notes), and it is just a great movie to see with friends. Meryl Streep's California house will have you drooling with envy. That's what there is to drool over -- certainly not Alec Baldwin's hairy paunch!! John Krasinski of The Office plays Meryl Streep's son-in-law, and he was also great.
I'm not sure younger audiences would find this movie quite as hilarious. A group of young people left our showing in the middle.
It was just a joy to see these three fantastic actors working together in a smart funny film. Three and a half stars!
