It's Complicated

Now, I know that sometimes I tend to be black and white on movies – I love or I hate them (except Up In The Air, apparently). I know I do that, but seriously, I LOVED THIS MOVIE. I am a huge fan of the R-rated comedy, as well as romantic comedies for older people – like Something’s Gotta Give. Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin. Genius. Also, Jim from The Office was a nice addition to add hilariousness.

The main story is about Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin. They were married for 20+ years and have been divorced for 10 years. They have three grown children. Alec remarried a very young girl. Meryl and Alec start to have an affair. Hilariousness ensues. Steve Martin plays Meryl’s architect and kind of boyfriend, and it’s assumed she ends up with him in the end. But seriously, I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in a movie theatre in a really long time. Like, openly laughing my ass off. I don’t want to give away too many details because I think it should be seen by you. So you should see it. And love it, because they are all amazing.

I’ve already talked about how much I love Meryl Streep, so I really think she should win a globe for Best Actress in a Comedy – I don’t really care which movie she wins it for, but I think she was more entertaining in It’s Complicated than Julie & Julia, but as long as she wins, whatever. The film is also up for Best Comedy, which I think it deserves. The only nominated film in that category I haven’t seen yet is Nine, but I bet this is better. Those are the only nominations for the film, and I hope it wins something. Best comedy, maybe. The Golden Globes are soon! I’m starting to get excited!!
