It's Complicated

"It's Complicated" is another movie that we highly recommend. Though its Rotten Tomatoes score is not too stellar (about 58%), the audience still has positive feedback to say about the movie. Years after being released, it is considered among the best classics.

Jane (played by Meryl Streep), a renowned restaurateur, and Jake (played by Alec Baldwin) have been divorced for several years but remain friends. Jane discovers that she has become "another woman" in Jake's life after he has remarried, when a casual supper between them quickly escalates into an affair.

At the same time, Adam (by Steve Martin), the architect hired to rebuild her kitchenette, is still recovering from his own breakup. Soon after having a relationship with Jane, he discovers that he has entered a love triangle.

Jane and Jake's rekindled romance and gratification of their sexual wants are at the center of the play. A chat between Jane and her pals is a beautiful scenario in "It's Complicated", and one of our favorites. Unaware that Jane has been in love again with Jake, her friends excitedly discuss the advantages of being a single woman, a conversation that leaves a great impact on the audience.
