52 Films by Women #5 It’s Complicated…
Hiya…
Watched this one a few days ago. It’s fun… but didn’t blow my socks off. I sort of HATE saying that… but true be true.
Written and directed by Nancy Meyers and found on NetFlix.
It’s a romantic comedy, with some lovely moments, but it just didn’t… thrill.
I kept finding myself asking why on earth the Merle Streep character would add on to her already ins
anely fabulous house when she was moving into the time when all her kids were GONE. And her kitchen looked mighty good to me already.
Heh heh.
Here’s a link to Roger Ebert’s review: It’s Complicated
He notes that Meyer’s also gave us “Something’s Gotta Give” (2003), “What Women Want” (2000) and “The Holiday” (2006). I haven’t seen “The Holiday” but I quite like the other two.
Fun, light, entertainment.
That ain’t awful.
Have a great weekend, all.
Go easy ~p
