It's Complicated

It's Complicated (2009) starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, John Krasinski, Lake Bell. Jane (Streep) falls into an affair with her ex-husband Jake (Baldwin), who has remarried to a younger woman (Bell). Meanwhile, Jane is beginning to feel attracted to Adam (Martin), the architect who is designing an addition to her house. Since Jane and Jake have three grown children, it's a bit of an understatement to say it's complicated. This movie showcases Streep's talent, and has warmth and humor. I liked it, aside from the presence of the odious Alec Baldwin. It certainly provides an evening of diverting entertainment. (English subtitles are available, but not closed captions.) Grade: B+
