Two-time Academy Award® winner Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin star in this hilarious look at marriage, 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, 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 realises 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.
Although this movie is a comedy, it deals with some quite serious issues for Streep’s character, in fact for all three of the main cast. The whole, ‘you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone’ idea is really put to the test in this movie which will have you laughing out loud at various points as the story becomes somewhat absurd but always keeps you wanting to find out how this bizarre but strangely believable saga might turn out.
I really enjoyed It’s Complicated, it’s not my usual sort of movie but anything with a cast which includes Streep, Martin and Baldwin has to be worth a look and in this case, i think you’ll very much enjoy it.
