It's ComplicatedMeryl Streep has the (on-screen) time of her life as a sixty-something divorcee who finds herself fending off amorous advances from her besotted-again ex husband (Alec Baldwin, in top form). Steve Martin co-stars as a would-be suitor who isn't quite sure where he stands.
Writer/director Nancy Meyers is becoming Hollywood's go-to filmmaker for smart, funny comedies about forty, fifty and now sixty-something women.
It's Complicated follows neatly on the heels of Baby Boom (1987), scripted by Meyers, in which fortyish workaholic Diane Keaton became the legal guardian of a baby girl, and Something's Gotta Give (2003), written and directed by Meyers, in which Keaton (again!) played a fifty-something divorcee being romanced by the likes of both a handsome young doctor (Keanu Reeves) and a considerably more mature (but no less frisky) Jack Nicholson.
