Writer/director Nancy Meyers ("What Women Want,"
"Something's Gotta Give," "The Holiday") directs
Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in
"It's Complicated," a comedy about love, divorce
and everything in between.
Jane (Streep) is the mother of three grown kids,
owns a thriving Santa Barbara bakery/restaurant
and has—after a decade of divorce—an amicable
relationship with her ex-husband, attorney Jake
(Baldwin). But when Jane and Jake find
themselves out of town for their son’s college
graduation, things start to get complicated. An
innocent meal together turns into the
unimaginable—an affair. With Jake remarried to
the much younger Agness (Lake Bell), Jane is
now, of all things, the other woman.
Caught in the middle of their renewed romance is
Adam (Martin), an architect hired to remodel
Jane's kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his
own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon
realizes he's become part of a love triangle.
Should Jane and Jake move on with their lives,
or is love truly lovelier the second time
around? It's... complicated.

5 Second Review:Disposable
and predictable, yet somehow we enjoyed this
movie we thought was only for our mothers. Turns
out we have a soft spot for chocolate
croissants. A nice cute date movie.
