It's Complicated

I took my Mom with my friend and her Mom to see the latest Nancy Meyers homage to women over 50. Complicated, perhaps. Compelling, somewhat. Comical, definitely. I must admit that my favorite part was watching My Mom and my friends Mom giggle and slap their knees in unison. Warmed my heart actually.

Meryl Streep, in my opinion the most gifted actress of all time (or my time), never fails to disappoint. Alec Baldwin, stealing scenes once again, is very funny. Steve Martin is sweetness personified and is hilarious in the weed smoking scene. The supporting cast from the trio of BFF's, to the children and most prominently the oldest daughter's fiance played by John Krasinski, are all solid. The weak link here was Alec Baldwin's trophy wife, Lake Bell but I suspect this was on purpose.

Here's a review from Rolling Stone:

Remmi gives this film two thumbs up but it doesn't take much more than an adequate film with coke and popcorn to keep this film buff happy :)
