It's Complicated


Not wholly unenjoyable, but nothing to write home about either. It'll pass the time, but you'll likely forget about it in a week. It's got a few funny moments, but it's fairly predictable in that area and in its plot and focus. The performances are solid though and enliven the predictability. John Krasinski was probably the funniest. It's easy to see why this movie got decently popular. It's comes out of the Nancy Meyer factory. Her movies are like bibles for middle-aged loners trying to find their way through life, which apparently people find funny (I don't). Whether or not that appeals to you is uncertain, but nonetheless have at it if you are interested. It's Complicated is far from a bad movie, I just found it too predictable and a little boring. Romantic comedies are truly in a rut (500 Days of Summer being the exception).
