Quick movie review: "It's Complicated"
by Ed Johnson-OttArticle Tools
Breezy, smart, romantic comedy about Jane (Meryl Streep), a successful bakery/restaurant owner who travels to her son's out-of-town college graduation with her remarried ex-husband (Alec Baldwin). One thing leads to another and Jane becomes the other woman. Steve Martin plays an architect who falls for Jane and becomes part of a romantic triangle. John Krasinski (The Office) is a treat as a relative that only wants to be cordial, but keeps seeing things he shouldn't. The combination of director Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, Something's Gotta Give, The Holiday.), a confident screenplay and a terrific cast adds up to a dandy experience. And in addition to being sweet and engaging, the movie is really funny. 118 minutes.
