A sensational cast in decent screenplay. Has its funny moments but the drama was spot on. A romantic comedy for married couples. I felt this could have been better in certain aspects. It's Complicated was realistic and didn't feel like a Hollywood type flick. I felt Streep and Baldwin did a splendid job in carrying this film. |

It's a shame this film is so predictable, because the performances by all of the cast members are nuanced and special. The film leans more towards the dramatic side, although there are some charmingly funny moments. Steve Martin is the standout for me here, proving that he has a talent for subtle and believable acting. |

It may be as predicable as the tides, but it is still a more productive use of two hours than most contemporary romantic comedies are. This is mainly due to excellent performances from the key players, particularly the always-reliable Alec Baldwin. |

Excellent Cast - Excellent Fun! |

Ever make major decision in your life and wondered if you did the right thing? Freshman Director and Writer (‘Father Of The Bride’, ‘Something’s Gotta Give’) Nancy Meyers takes this every day quandary and deftly applies it to a divorcee’s decision to become involved with her remarried ex-husband in the film ‘It’s Complicated’. While played mostly for laughs, Meyers carefully steers her script and actors on a course that avoids slipping into comedic camp, while fleshing out characters and situations that appear authentic, but still leaves you in stitches.
I think casting was critical in bringing the characters in ‘It’s Complicated’ to life. I could write volumes about the acting contributions of Meryl Streep, who’s acting career spans 30 plus years. Her acting range is almost boundless ... |

It's Complicated brought an interesting spin on a typical love story of a girl being stuck between to men. Just like Christine in Phantom of the Opera, Jane (Meryl Streep) has two equally appealing men vying for her attention. On one hand, you had Jake (Alec Baldwin), the ex-husband you ran away with a 20-something beauty. On the other, you have sweet, lovable Adam (Steve Martin) who is also recently divorced and just looking for someone to be happy with. As she goes through the rekindling of the old fame with Jake, Adam brings himself into her life treating her to the new found love and affection she had once lost with Jake. But she soon finds she will be facing the toughest decision when Jake leaves his wife for her just as Adam starts to really open up to her.
Yes, it was a long mov... |

“It’s Complicated” is the new film by Nancy Meyers, who has such films as “What Women Want”, “Something’s Gotta Give” and “The Holiday” to her name. Staying true to her roots, “It’s Complicated” is yet another film about relationships, and that’s not a criticism of any type. Meyers is extremely talented when it comes to picking an ensemble of actors who have on screen chemistry, writing a witty script and making a romantic, comical movie that is not just for chicks. “It’s Complicated” is a perfect example of this. Jane (Meryl Streep), a mother of three, has been divorced from her husband, Jake (Alec Baldwin) for ten years and feels as though she has finally got her life sorted out with the perfect house and perfect career for her. That is until a night in New York for her son’s graduation... |
