[A] wickedly funny, goofy romp.

Take one predictable script, then add a few romantic-comedy cliches. Be smart enough to mix in two stars with more presence than most other actors, and you've got yourself a decent comedy whose many sins are forgivable anytime those stars are on-screen.

"It's Complicated" is worth watching for many reasons, but mostly for the scene where Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, and Meryl Streep get stoned and dance to The Beach Boys.

This daffy rom-com for over-40s has an intriguing question to ask. How could a worldly woman (Meryl Streep) become the secret mistress of her now-remarried ex-husband (Alec Baldwin)?

The movie won't take you to the top of the mountain or leave you with memories and references for discussion, but you won't be bored if you see it. Without compromising my standards, I can give this film an unqualified plus.

It's [writer/director Nancy Meyers'] typical, though smart, romantic comedy for a more mature audience. But, unlike Something's Gotta Give, there are no Oprah-like a-ha moments, which made it really quite unspecial and fall sorta flat.

In this insanely privileged world, there isn't much for the rich white folks to do except carry on like their pubic hair is on fire.

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?

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.

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.
