Its Complicated

Its Complicated (2009)

Directed by Nancy Meyers

Starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin.

LMAO.. this film was touching, sad, truthful, funny and well worth watching. The pairing of Streep and Baldwin makes for cinema magic and there is never a dull moment.

The story lures you into a romantic comedy about a divorced couple who reconnect with passion after 10 years apart and have an affair. The film the diverts into dramatic grounds and delivers a dynamic plot about the fallout that happens as a result; the confusion, the resurfaced pain, the effect on the 'now grown' kids. We are torn from the dream back into the reality and its painful.

Steve Martin plays a role that starts off itchy and ends up fuzzy, he really turns the film around when you least expect it. I thought this was an intelligently written film with clever jokes and classic moments of physical humor. Baldwin must have had a hoot making this film.. its worth seeing for his performance alone.

This is one of those films you will see and talk about amongst your friends, the issues in the story are open for debate with well fleshed out characters and serious conflicts. Real entertaining thought provoking comedy. Nancy Meyers is a hit machine.
