IT'S COMPLICATED (2009)
SYNOPSIS
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. --©Universal Pictures
