I heard a lot about this film before I actually saw it in the theater and it lived up to the hype. An awesome cast here led by Meryl Streep as Jane, a divorced mother of 3 kids who is making her way through life and who is still bothered by her divorce. Her ex-husband Jake (Alec Baldwin) has married a much younger woman, but he seems to still have feelings for Jane.
Jane, who owns a well know bakery shop, also has plans to remodel her house, which brings another suitor Adam (Steve Martin) into her life. Adam is taken with Jane and they flirt while make plans for her remodel and eventual they decide to make a date of it. As this is going on Jake and Jane become romantically involved again, after "hooking up" during a party.
Not too mention the kids involved and the extensive cast, the whole movie is like the title; complicated. However it is well directed, funny, insightful and the cast is wonderful. Once again this movie is met to appeal to aging baby boomers who are in the twilight of their lives but still want romance. It works because it portrays both the female and male sides of this aging generation. This movie will appeal to anyone over the age of 30 but might not be fodder for anyway under 25. I liked it and you should Just Queue It, if you haven't already.
