User Reviews

A refreshing romantic comedy
16 January 2010 | by Gordon-11See all my reviews

This film is about the complicated relationship status of a divorced woman having an affair with her married ex husband while dating another guy.

"It's Complicated" has a nice mix of comedy and drama. It's refreshing to see a romantic comedy to have a different formula compared to the usual. It's even got unconventional leads as they are not the unrealistically perfect individuals who have got everything but romance. The plot is funny and entertaining. Meryl Streep is excellent in portraying a spectrum of emotions required in her role, and she is such a joy to watch. Though "It's Complicated" is an entertaining and refreshing romantic comedy, it still is not very memorable or ground breaking.
