It's Complicated (Nancy Meyers)

There was no way I was going to miss a movie that celebrated the sexuality of the older woman, especially when that woman was played by Meryl Streep. And though Jane and Jake and Adam live in a Santa Barbara fantasy world of unlimited freetime and freespending--I'd gladly take the kitchen she's so eager to remodel, and her vegetable garden is picture perfect--the laughs (usually at the expense of middle-aged male hubris and middle-age female insecurities) were consistent and real.

Note: watching a film with a crowd is one of the great joys of seeing movies at the cinema. Too often, though, the theater is nearly empty, and I feel no sense of shared pleasure. Tonight was different. The theater was packed, and such a fine audience made a very funny movie all the more fun.

Highly recommended.
