Aro Recommended It's Complicated

 

USA 2009, 118 minutes
Dir. Nancy Meyers
Rating: [M]
Genres: Comedy / Romance

Topics: Mid-life.

 

Aroview: A divorcee romantic-comedy, and a pretty good one, sees Meryl Streep in comedic bloom as her unlikely affair with her brazen ex-husband (Baldwin) complicates a burgeoning romance with a sweet-natured architect (Martin).

As a female-oriented relationship farce it tends to push buttons too-obviously marked 'giggle', but feels somewhat refreshing that the cavorting characters are in their late '50s. Middle-age has been kind to the radiant Streep, less so to her puffy-cheeked suitors Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, who deliver playfulness and earnestness with a mix of intentional and unintentional cringe.
