It's really not all that complicated. But it is entertaining. It's pure, simple fun, with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin playing Doris Day and Rock Hudson as they might have been if they had ruled in the sexually knowing oughts, instead of the virginal ear
[Meyers has] given us her thinnest slice of comic relationship angst yet, proving, I guess, that you actually can be too thin.
Writer-director Meyers, who's devoted much of her career to midlife American arousal, that she loses her sense of fun.
Simply put, It's Complicated is a hoot.
Streep's dilemma is handled well enough for the movie to accumulate some gravitas as it nears the two-hour mark.
It's Complicated is basically Wild Hogs for smart people, big stars playing below their gifts in a crowd-pleasing movie.
The only thing complicated about Nancy Meyers' latest rom-com is its depiction of familial relationships. Why do Meryl Streep's adult children keep on cuddling and squeezing one another?
While it may be complicated for the characters, it's a simple formula for light movie entertainment.
A charming cast of veteran pros are at the top of their comic game.
Yes, there still are movies made for grown-ups in Hollywood, few and far between they may be.
an occasionally pleasant misfire, a romantic comedy that, despite its bright premise and superlative cast, isn't as smart as it should be.
Metaphorically smacking around Hoffman's wimpy priest last year as a shrewish nun in Doubt, and dishing out directives for married bliss as ditzy Julia Child, Streep takes on aging starter wife exploitation with lighthearted vengeance in It's Complicated.
The Oscar talk surrounding It's Complicated is some way off, it's not a bad film, but it's certainly nothing to get excited about.

Meryl Streep, reinterested ex-hubby Alec Baldwin and new boyfriend Steve Martin are an irresistible love triangle set against the backdrop of beautiful Santa Barbara.
Meyers doesn't have to do much besides put these silly dynamos next to one another and let them enjoy riffing.
Streep finally gets her chance to cut loose -- and her frisky, flirty Jane is a comic revelation.
Ao menos é consistente em sua mediocridade, errando até o último instante.
If a Pottery Barn catalog had a midlife crisis, it would look and feel something like It's Complicated.
