xanadu-65205 Meryl Streep plays Jane, a pleasant divorcee in her 50s who was cheated on by her successful lawyer ex-husband, 58 yr old Jake ( Alec Baldwin ) 10 yrs ago with a much younger Lake Bell, who is now his high-strung second wife. Jane has 3 grown up children who love their father but dissaprove of him & his second wife in general while Jane tries to maintain equilibrium in their lives by getting along with Jake while dealing with her professional baking, elaborate home cooking,empty nest syndrome,forays into plastic surgeons offices, depending on female friends over pie & her therapist,plans for home renovations with her architect Adam ( Steve Martin ) who is divorced & Jakes age, but in contrast to immature , Porsche-driving , ageing , priapic , jealous , seductive , manipulative , man-baby Jake : sedan driving Adam is sedate, sweet , pleasant , mature , acts his age & is more suited to Jane. Adam & Janes romance faces hiccups because Jane is overwhelmed & distracted with being seduced & bedded by ex-husband Jake who has the libido of a 13 yr old & is perversely thrilled & gleeful at cheating on 2nd wife Lake Bell with his ex-wife Jane and also childishly jealous of her budding romance with Adam, who is in the dark. I give the film a 6 out of 10 - while it's horrifying to see a nice woman go backwards in life by sleeping with an ex-husband who was perverse & disrespectful enough to cheat on her in the first place,the film is very pleasant and goes down easily for several repeated viewings as well.

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.

Davis P Wow! This film was very impressive, from the acting to the script, to the storyline. Meryl Streep of course shines and excels in every scene she's in! Alec Baldwin did a great job with his role, the hated ex husband. And Steve Martin really pulls of the whole nice guy look and the new potential love interest for Meryl's character. This movie is very clever with its dialogue between characters, I really enjoyed the funny dialogue! I also love the way the sex scenes were handled, they didn't actually show any sex, just the aftermath. I like it when they leave certain things to the imagination. John Krasinki was also pretty funny as their daughters fiancé Harley. There's a pot smoking scene that is hilarious, one of the best and funniest parts of the whole movie! There's also a scene where Alec shows up naked with only Meryl's laptop covering what needs to be covered, not knowing she is on skype with Steve Martin, she walks out, screams, Steve Martin screams, I thought that was very funny, I sincerely hope nothing similar to that has ever happened to anyone before haha. But anyways, this is just a funny sweet and intelligently written romantic comedy starring great acclaimed actors who really give it their all here! 10/10. A great time for men AND women!!

JakeBarrett It's Complicated really is a fantastically delicious treat by the queen of Rom-Coms herself, Nancy Meyers. Nothing shouts 'romantic comedy' better than two middle aged people fooling around and enjoying themselves. After all, this is exactly what this film should be about…romance and comedy. This is something that Nancy has never quite managed to reach in previous films such as 'Something's gotta give'. Nancy creates beautiful looking worlds that make you want to re- decorate your house, buy new lighting, wear new clothes and change your career to own a luxury bakery. Just watching this film and listening to even more of the audio wonders from Hans Zimmer keeps you hooked on this film and the light humour throughout keeps you smiling. Casting in this film is brilliant…one of the best I have seen in fact and everyone fits the characters extremely well from bakery owner Jane (Streep), lawyer Jake (Baldwin) and newcomer to the family Harley (Krasinski) all the way through to surgeon Dr.Moss (Patrick) who I must say looks a little bit plastic himself. Meryl Streep has undoubtedly give one of her best performances in years showing that she can still show her sexier side at 60. She plays an every day lady that runs a beautiful bakery alongside her personal life of having a house extension, having her sons graduation, her daughters wedding and an ex husband that she still has feelings for. Streep soon gets caught up in the whirlwind of life when architect Adam begins to show his affectionate side towards her and that is where she has to make a decision…Adam or Jake. This is where things become 'complicated'.Baldwin plays a careless character who shows that he still knows how to have fun in his older days. As well as having a psycho controlling wife, a spoilt young son and a job that he never seems to go to, Jake decides to go with his gut and crawls into bed with his ex wife Jane. This is the start of an official affair and things slowly slide to the bottom when he leaves his wife for Jane…who now has Adam… who has just got divorced and fell in love with Jane… See the problem here?Peace bearer Harley keeps the film entertaining and soon turns into one of the main characters after finding out everything thats happening between Jane and Adam, taking away some of the light from the older characters in the storyline. My only negative point about this film is the mannerisms of Jane's children who are now grown up and live away from home. They annoyingly interfere with Jane's private life and constantly ask questions when Jane runs outside to talk with Jake…not to mention crawling into bed together sobbing when they find out the divorce isn't completely over… which happened 10 years previously. Overall the storyline is brilliant and one that many people can relate to…proving that although things may become bad and life is a roller coaster of crazy events…everything will work out correctly in the end. The use of very neutral colours brings this film down to earth and the small comedy moments throughout are written to perfection. This film really is an easy watch and although it is aimed at an older audience, it's one that the younger generation can still definitely enjoy (I'm 19). Meyers really should have received more credit for this film and I look forward to seeing if she is able to top this one in future films.
