Jane (Meryl Streep) and Jake (Alec Baldwin) Adler are divorced. Â There son is graduating college in New York, and the family takes a trip there. Â Jake’s wife Agnes (Lake Bell) has to stay behind with her sick child, so Jane and Jake end up having a long night together, including lots of alcohol, dinner and dancing, which leads to a night they won’t forget.
When they get back home, Jake continues to want to see Jane and she is just confused. Â Jake tries to sneak away from Agnes to see Jane as much as possible, but Agnes is also trying to have a baby with Jake which is making it more difficult. Â Meanwhile, Jane is getting an addition put onto her home and meets her architect Adam (Steve Martin) and after a couple of meetings, they decide to go out on a date. Â They are going to a party hosted by Jane’s oldest daugther, so Jake and Agnes will be there. Â Jake is so head over heels for Jane, and his wife sees this. Â Jake comes to see Jane to see if he can stay there, and all of the kids are also staying. Â One thing leads to another, and their children found out about the affair, and problems just arose from there, including her new relationship with Adam.
It’s Complicated was a pretty good film. Â I thought it had a lot of great humor and it was nice to watch a grown-up movie with my husband. Â I really enjoyed the film and I think that most people would. Â I would definitely label this film a chick flick and I would give it 3.5 stars. Â You will have to watch and see who Jane picks!





i thought this film was missing something–like perhaps more laughs. i didn’t feel emotionally connected to any character here. nothing as gripping as something’s gotta give, which i thought was a far better film.
I loved it! Meryl Streep was fab (as always) and John Krasinski was hilarious. AND she has the most amazing vegetable patch! (Watch it, you’ll see what I mean!). It was good to see Steve Martin playing a different role too. I would definitely recommen it.
I SOO wanted to see this! Love that Meryl Streep. Thanks for the review!
