It's Complicated

母は女ではなく、あくまでも母なので…もうそこが割り切れなかったからダメだった。受け付けられなかった。もっと年取ったら楽しめるかな。

Isn't just a romantic comedy that defines its genre but a movie that defines the art of screenwriting and what romance stories should be.

This film is just okay. Nothing really stands out but it won't bore you to death either, which I suppose is to be expected from any film. The movie is entertaining enough, but don't expect an intricate plot. Overall it just feels like a generic romcom.

I actually really enjoyed this romcom which is slightly different to the average film. It is the story of a divorced couple started to rekindle their romantic connection much to the disgust of their children, and it is quite fun to see Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin play a married couple on screen! However, it does eventually dawn on Meryl Streep's character that she doesn't seem to be moving on in her life, only looking backwards so she must make a decision between her ex-husband or a new flame that appears.
