Synopsis: Jane 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. 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, an architect hired to remodel Jane's kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes 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.

Directed by: Nancy Meyers
U.S. Rating: R
Following her previews romantic comedy films (What Women Want, Something's Gotta Give and The holiday), Nancy Meyers showed us once again her unique talent as a screenwriter, director and producer with the film It's Complicated.
It's Complicated is the story of Jane (Meryl Streep), a divorced mother of three grown kids who finally has found the perfect balance in her family, single life, business & professional career. She's maintained a friendly relationship with her ex-husband Jake (Alec Baldwin), the man who cheated her with a younger girl, the same one he married after their divorce. During a family weekend in New York celebrating their younger son's graduation, an innocent meal turns into something extremely complicated, an affair! This initial encounter led them to few other encounters. While Jane tried to avoid this complicated situation (at least for her), Jake let all those his repressed feelings for Jane to be released and gets to the point of being a stalker (well, sort of!). While Jane and Jake debate with their personal feelings and complicated situation, Adam, Jane's architect gets in scene. Jane has the chance to know him better, finding so many similarities in their lives. Adam could be considered that kind of person that is in the wrong place at the wrong time. After facing a traumatic divorce, he's trying to avoid the situation that he finally had to face... being in the middle of two people that were meant to be together, no matter what.
A really interesting and funny plot supported by such a great and funny cast. Nancy Meyers worked in a very smart way not just the script, but the direction of the film, giving to all its viewers a pretty entertaining story. It is totally recommended!
What did I like from this movie?
1. Jake (Alec Baldwin) is so cocky that was perfect for the role
2. Meryl Streep, as usual, played a precious and enjoyable role
3. The plot was so well written and directed by Nancy Meyers
4. I totally laughed with some of the quotes and dialogues in this film, great script!
5. The scenes at the hotel, the chat session in the bedrooms and the fertility center
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I didn't like that Adam (Steve Martin) had to end alone at the end of the film, being "the nice guy" on this film
I would rate this movie with a 4/5
