Universal Studios will be releasing It's Complicated in movie theaters everywhere on Christmas day. Here is the exclusive press release from the studio regarding the comedy that boasts an A-list cast. The director ain't to shabby either.
Writer/director Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday) directs Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in It’s Complicated, a comedy about love, divorce and everything in between.
Jane (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 (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.
Caught in the middle of their renewed romance is Adam (Martin), an architect hired to remodel Jane’s kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes he’s become part of a love triangle.
Should Jane and Jake move on with their lives, or is love truly lovelier the second time around? It’s…complicated.
Well this sounds like a comedy-mess, tailor-maid for Steve Martin. Martin thrived in movies like this in the '80s and '90s. One must block out the recent Pink Panther movies, as Martin was just forced into a role that no one could ever play as well as Peter Sellars did in the originals. It was a lose-lose situation. Pairing him up with Meryl Streep should lead to big box office presents for Universal just in time for the holiday season. The timing for a movie such as this couldn't be better and writer/director Nancy Myers hasn't struck out yet. Especially in tackling the more "middle-aged topics" that seem to please a wide range of audiences.
