IT'S COMPLICATED: AND THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT

Jake: I'm sorry.

Jane: How far back does that 'sorry' go?

Jake: How far back do you need it to go?

Jane: Wa-ay back.

Once again Nancy Meyers brings us a light romp in a complicated situation. During their son's graduation and other family events related to their adult children, now divorced Jake (Alec Baldwin) and Jane (Meryl Streep) discover they still have an attraction to the other. Even though Jake has remarried, he cheats on his wife with his ex-wife and they find a whole new life blown back into their affair. Adding to the chaos is the arrival of Adam (Steve Martin) who is helping Jane with renovating the house but begins to develop feelings for her. The best part is to watch Streep juggle them both. It is complicated, but it is also funny.
 Streep steals most of the show with Baldwin in a close second. Martin is unusually demure, almost the straight man in the romp aside from some very unstraight behavior. It's a folly and a farce and a lighthearted look at a family divided but still connected. Streep is an angel and looks like she is really enjoying her character. Take note, be sure to eat before you see her cooking and baking in an almost nod to her role as Julia Childs. The dialogue is nothing clever or original. There isn't much to this movie, but a simple and amusing way to pass some time.
