Director: Nancy Meyers
Year: 2009
Stars: Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin
It's really not. In fact, it's rather dull. A divorced couple (Streep and Baldwin) start to see something in each other again, and begin to have an affair. Except one of them is horrid, and the other one is bonkers.
What is complicated is the reason why I chose to watch this. I suspect I fancied the idea of a romantic comedy because I haven't seen one in ages.It's just a shame I picked one with no romance and unfunny comedy (not there was even a lot of that). I also really need to remember that I find Meryl Streep incredibly annoying. I can cope with her as the supporting actress, but put her in a lead role and I'm put off instantly (Mamma Mia, for some bizarre reason, being the exception to this rule).
If you like Meryl Streep, you'll probably love this. If you're me, read reviews like this before watching anything with her in it again.
