Jane (Meryl Streep) is the mother of three grown kids, owns a thriving Santa Barbara bakery/restaurant and has - after a decade of divorce - an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, attorney Jake (Alec Baldwin). But when Jane and Jake find themselves out of town for their son's college graduation, things start to get complicated. An innocent meal together turns into the unimaginable - an affair. With Jake remarried to the much younger Agness (Lake Bell), Jane is now, of all things, the other woman.

Reviews:
"Part wishful thinking and part grown up romantic comedy, Nancy Meyers' It's Complicated is never as complicated as it tries to make out - but for the most part it's sufficiently entertaining for adults wanting what teenage romance can't usually deliver: depth and texture" - Urbancinefile.com.au
"For all the complicatedness of the emotions Streep and Baldwin navigate, it's still a smooth ride to huge grins and hearty guffaws, with excellent performances." - Cinerina
"Some farcical baubles sparkle, but this have-it-all women's fantasy otherwise plods along with uneven acting, padded direction and inch-deep characters. Thank goodness for John Krasinski." - Film Journal International
