Martin shows a sensitive side reminiscent of his works in Roxanne and Parenthood, and finds an audience cheer with empathetic tendencies can get you right back to what you do best. His charm and magnetism is quite surprising as we haven't seen him give a performance this funny ever, not even in his hit sitcom "30 Rock." Steve Martin, who I have found overdoes his comedy in some of his later years in film is in control and utterly enjoyable.
Showing top comedic work, Baldwin seems in the hunt for Oscar recognition. Alec Baldwin, in one of his best performances to date, shows immaturity and careless can get you far in a film. Streep shows that she can still create a character from scratch and make the woman as real as anyone walking down the streets of New York City. Meryl Streep is naturalistic and in top form showing her sexier side at 60. The cast here is one of the best ensemble works of the year. But when attending their son's college graduation, Jane and Jake find that everything is as simple as it once seemed. Trying to find some type of happiness in her later years, she meets Adam (Martin), a sensitive architect, who is designing her new kitchen and has had his fair share of divorce stories in the past. The film tells the story of Jane (Streep), who's ten year post-divorce from Jake (Baldwin), who left her for a much younger woman, hasn't necessarily become water under the bridge.
Meyers creates three authentic characters with sympathy and everyday qualities that make them identifiable and first-class writing genius. This fast-paced, smart comedy is everything in a mature work that didn't succeed with films such as Something's Gotta Give.
In the best work of her career Nancy Meyers presents the funny comedy, It's Complicated starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, and Steve Martin.
