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.

SERIOUS MOONLIGHT: LAUGHABLE MOVIE

After the War of the Roses, this idea pales by comparison. Meg Ryan (Louise) has discovered her husband Ian (Timothy Hutton) has been cheating on her with Sara (Kristen Bell) and plans on leaving for Paris with her. To stop him from doing so, she uses the magic of duct tape and begins her last seduction of her captive audience. However, they are interrupted by Sara and then later Todd (Justin Long) a criminal intent on robbing the house. Seemingly meant to be a dark comedy, this film comes off as pathetic and desperate and just plain sad. The comedy wasn't laughable and at times it felt like a rerun of Three's Company. I did not see the ending coming and that did turn out to be a humorous touch like the cherry on top a sundae. It wasn't a terrible film, but not a fabulous one either.
No bite: Not terribly funny but okay to watch if there is nothing else on.
