It’s Complicated

Taboo.
That's the first adjective that came to mind seeing 50+ year olds humping like rabbits, or smoking weed in a graduation party, or making out whenever there's a chance - in the elevator, the classic legs playing under the table, you name it, this film has it.

Jane and Jake have been divorced for 10 years. Jake is married to the woman he cheated Jane on, Jane is living alone, everyone is moving on with their lives. Their lives get a u-turn on the fateful evening of their son's graduation. They drink some wine, dance, and eventually have mind blowing make up sex (see picture above).

It's Complicated is the latest romantic comedy from Nancy Myers (What Women Want, Somethings Gotta Give) that tackles how adults deal with coping, moving on, young-old love, love triangles and rekindling old romances. The cast is superb in dealing us with recognizable characters, making us point to this and that as some familiar family member. The pace is great and frame by frame the movie unfolds and delivers its laughs. The end wraps it up beautifully by showcasing how the main character (Meryll Streep) has still room to grow and outgrow her selfish quirks, recognize who truly cares for her, and be able to maintain her relationships with the people in her life.

Overall a movie to watch if you want to unwind.
