Tony Toscano reviews “It’s Complicated”

It’s Complicated is a throw-back to those 1940’s and 1950’s “adult-situation” comedies.

In this new comedy Meryl Streep is Jane who is divorced from Jake, played by Alec Baldwin. Baldwin has remarried a younger and fiercely competitive woman who is wearing him out. At a family event, Jane and Jake hook-up and Jane, the ex-wife, becomes the other woman in this romantic sex farce.

Streep gracefully exercises her comedy muscles in this well-paced film, while Baldwin (The funniest reason to watch 30 Rock) gives us one of his best performances in years as a man who knows he’s made the biggest mistake of his life.

It’s Complicated is one of the best comedies this year. It gets a B and is rated R for drug content and sexuality.
