Sigh...I wanted to write so much movie reviews! like the movie A single man, which is directed by Tom Ford. However, Since I watched "It's complicated" and I genuinely love it, I do have a strong motivation to write a review of this nice movie.
okay, lets talk about the story. I am not going to spoil the movie by telling the whole storyline, all I can say is the story is strong and solid, yet I still hear people who in the forum are complaining about how unrealistic the setting of the movie was. The movie was set in a upper-class family who live in Santa Barbara, California. Jane, portrayed by Meryl Streep, own a FANCY bakery shop and her ex-husband, Jake, portrayed by Alec baldwin, is a successful lawyer. I do agree with that accusation in some degree since all the characters don't seem to have anything to worry about except their relationship state and if they don't have enough to drink, yet, I don't think it affects the thing that this very movie wants to tell their audiences, because this kind of complication in relationship does exist in every level of living, and it the fact that this old couple are successful just makes them have less side factors to concern about and be able to think and act in a mature way. (think about if Jane is just a poor women who have to rise three children herself, would she even need to think about if her husband tell her he wants to go back to her?).
One the thing that I really enjoy in this movie is all the characters actually think, especially Jane, unlike most of the Hollywood movie characters who only think in one direction, the character would think about why she does certain things the situation, she doubt, she hesitated and Meryl's delivered it perfectly.
