Its Not that Complicated-Eat the croissants-don't be the croissants!

Overall: B. Direction: B . Streep: A. Baldwin: A

The chemistry between Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin in Nancy Meyer's movie, It's Complicated is hotter, sweeter and stickier than a proof box full of chocolate croissants! The message here? If you are over 50, have some fun, but not too much, get high, but only every 27 years, (but go ahead and drink fine wine- a LOT of it) and EAT the croissants don't BE the croissants! Play it safe- don't open up Pandora's box that holds the key to your sexuality because then all hell done broke loose!

Nothing new of note to say here about Streep's flawless performance but Baldwin- he is a revelation and Meyers knows it. I have never seen so much camera stroking of a male actor's face- except perhaps in gay male porn (mom- don't ask!) Alec Baldwin's facial expressions and subtle, serious and comedic timing, carried the emotional notes of the movie.
