November 20, 2011fb1664868775Yes the general plotline is predictable but the brilliant performances from Baldwin, Martin and Streep overshadow all that. The most enjoyable romantic comedy I've seen in a while.

June 30, 2011It's actually not that complicated: a woman has an affair with her ex-husband while engaging in a budding courtship with her architect.
I haven't seen all of Nora Ephron's films, but what strikes me about the ones I have seen are the reaction shots. In this film especially, ever... read more -
June 23, 2011A great performance from Meryl Streep that has you laughing along with her and leaves you with a smile on your face. Shows you can have fun at whatever age. But with some consequences! A must see!

June 17, 2011Making it extremely cheesy and over-dramatic makes it worse than what it would have been. It's Complicated has a simple plot and that's something I favor, but at the same time it's got nothing to hold your interest. Besides being predictable, the execution is so clumsy and numb t... read more

April 28, 2011Nancy Meyers sickens me. Her turgid dialogue, her inexplicable need to stay relevant and "hip" to the teen crowd with naked webcam chats and texting, her richy rich rich settings that look like they came out of a Better Homes and Gardens catalogue - can't stand her. The only reas... read more

January 23, 2011It's obviously for girls. I didn't hate it. It was just incredibly weird to watch.
Grade: C -
November 26, 2010Let me get this out of the way first off - Something's Gotta Give this ain't - not even close.
However, you really can't go to far astray with Streep - who could make folding laundry into an oscar worthy performance. Here she is given a nice juicy role as a divorced empty ne... read more -
October 31, 2010I have to say I really, really, really had no interest in seeing this at all. However, I saw it down the library, (free rental), and decided, what the hell, may as well see what people are making such a fuss over.
Well, it was nowhere as good as people are saying, but having s... read more

[Meyers has] given us her thinnest slice of comic relationship angst yet, proving, I guess, that you actually can be too thin. Full Review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Writer-director Meyers, who's devoted much of her career to midlife American arousal, that she loses her sense of fun. Full Review

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Streep's dilemma is handled well enough for the movie to accumulate some gravitas as it nears the two-hour mark. Full Review

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
It's Complicated is basically Wild Hogs for smart people, big stars playing below their gifts in a crowd-pleasing movie. Full Review

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
It's Complicated unleashes an unabashedly, desperately romantic side of Baldwin that we haven't seen before. He doesn't steal this movie so much as grant all Streep's fluttering and twirling and hand-... Full Review

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Nancy Meyers never pushes for a hard truth when she can reach for an easy laugh. She's like an industrial device, stamping out 100 percent pure-plastic midlife female fantasy. Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Actually, Hollywood, it's very simple: If you're lucky enough to rope pros like Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin into a formulaic comedy that's clearly beneath them, you rise to the occasion. Full Review
