Trailer - Streep, Martin, Baldwin in 'It's Complicated'

Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 6:10PM

I don't have a lot of tolerance for Nancy Meyers movies. As a director, she's one for four, with Something's Gotta Give getting by because of its good cast. Maybe another solid collection of talent can help steer her latest, It's Complicated, in the right direction. I'm not holding out hope, though.

I mean, it can't possibly be as lame as The Holiday...or can it? Well, the central story is redeemable, at least: Divorcee Meryl Streep is having an affair with Alec Baldwin, who is her ex-husband. Of course, their kids can't know, and she's trying to hide it from Steve Martin, an architect with a thing for Streep, and who I presume is building a post-divorce home for her.

I'm not saying I'd rearrange my schedule to see it, but if I were a 50-year-old woman, I think I'd probably choose this over, say, Avatar. So in that respect, Meyers is catering to her audience. But, man, am I glad I'm not part of that audience.

It's Complicated will open on December 25th, and a couple months later, Martin and Baldwin will be Oscar hosts and Streep will likely be a Best Actress nominee for the 16th time in 31 years. Not for this thing, though.

Okay okay, I am the biggest hater of rom-coms, but this one had me laughing out loud! I couldn't believe it. I actually WANT to see this movie.
