It’s Complicated


Rating: 7
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Starring: Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin

A chance meeting, an evening of laughs and booze at a New York restaurant, and the next thing you know Streep and Baldwin are shacked up in a hotel some 10 years after their divorce. Subsequent sexual encounters ensue and things look like they’re heating up all over again. The three children are unaware of their parents’ newly discovered attraction for one another, and neither is Martin, a self-effacing architect who is developing an interest in Streep. The movie has some good humor and plenty of sex and sex talk. One good thing is that the young adult children seem pretty recognizable people, not full of angst and hatred and not stressed out on drugs as the usual Hollywood cliché would have it. The movie is good entertainment.
