    It's Complicated

    Saw this a couple of hours ago. It was much funnier than I thought it would be. Meryl Streep did a great job! Even Alec Baldwin was even surprisingly funny! Great to see as a couple or by yourself.

    Finally an Adult Comedy for Real People!

    by bahiaw

    Streep, Baldwin & Martin give fantastic portrayals of people who have been through the same situation with divorce, remorse, guilt, adultery, rekindled love and finally in the end reality.

    Santa Barbara is the beautiful setting for this romantic realistic adult comedy about a divorced couple, Streep & Baldwin and a recently divorced architect, Martin who falls for Streep with caution after his own experience with being burned by his ex-wife.

    All the performances are understated and makes you care about all the characters, as you can relate on some level with what they are going through.

    If you want to laugh, think, laugh and think some more, then the movie "It's Complicated" is the movie to see!

    It's Complicated

    Fast-paced, hilarious, down-to-earth, and only rated "R" because it's wonderful RAUNCHY! No explicit sex, only the build-up and after-math (quite enough). Deals with a subject (extra-marital affairs, divorce, remarriage, second thoughts, missing one's original family) that a lot of American families deal with daily. Yet this film is uplifting, truth-revealing without shame or guilt, and comforting. My advice -- GO SEE IT B.J. in Scottsdale!
