It’s Complicated: Preview & Trailer

Holy cow, I can’t wait for this movie. The cast alone is enough to make me happy, but the story by Nancy Meyers looks fun, too. “It’s Complicated” stars Meryl Streep as Jane, a woman whose husband, Jake (Alec Baldwin), leaves her for a younger woman. Turns out he’s not all that hip on having a younger wife. He wants Jane back.

Things get even more complicated when Jane learns that her architect, Adam (Steve Martin), is interested in her, too. The stellar cast also includes John Krasinski (“The Office”), Hunter Parrish (“Weeds”), and Lake Bell. See what I mean about the cast? They must have had a blast making this movie.

And it will be cool seeing Meryl playing a real-woman character, rather than a pop culture icon (Julia Child) or a woman most of us only see in the movies (“Mamma Mia!”). Personally, I don’t know anyone who owns a rustic B&B on an exotic Italian island. 

As for Nancy Meyers, her credits include a string of hits (in my mind, anyway), including “Something’s Gotta Give,” “What Women Want,” “The Parent Trap,” and “Father of the Bride.”

“It’s Complicated” hits theaters Dec. 25, 2009. I know which movie my daughter and I will see on our traditional Christmas Day theater sojourn! Are you looking forward to seeing it? Watch the trailer…
