It's Complicated

Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin in one movie, wow, it's got to be good...right? Well, It's complicated. Divorce is a serious event in too many lives. Humor is a necessary component to a healthy existence. So when the two are brought together along with the natural hilarity of the over-50 set 'talking about sex', you do have a funny movie. It's Complicated is funny, very-adult movie with the usual good acting by Meryl, comic timing from Alec and unfortunately not enough screen time for Steve. I think the plot of Agness and Pedro was under-developed but I would rather see it stay under-developed in order to increase the role of Steve Martin's character Adam. I also think John Krasinski although very funny was given too big of a role due to his popularity from The Office; again give some of his lines to developing Adam more. Overall, I give It's Complicated one thumb up for a nice cinematic diversion from our 'real lives'.
