It's complicated is a romantic comedy about a devorcee (Meryl Streep) who begins an affair with her ex-husband (Alec Baldwin) after ten years of divorce. Her ex-husband is persecuted by a temperous young Latin/Spanish vixen and her tell-all young son. Wanting to escape this wrath, he begins to rediscover his old ('not in the age sense') wife again.
The plot thickens when Streep begins to see her architect who is extending her house to facilitate an expanding cuisine business.
It's Complicated is a light-hearted romantic comedy with great performances (as always) from Streep, Baldwin and Martin (not forgetting the rest of the pack). There is lots of feel good, lots of food and warm and cosy interiors a-plenty. This is fun entertainment that for fleeting seconds explores the heartache of divorce on a thriving middle class American family. Its one down side is the interest all siblings appear to have in each other at all times. I have yet to witness such harmony in a real family.
It's complicated is a recommended viewing. You'll laugh. You'll almost cry. Big stars, warm story.
