It's really not all that complicated. But it is entertaining. It's pure, simple fun, with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin playing Doris Day and Rock Hudson as they might have been if they had ruled in the sexually knowing oughts, instead of the virginal ear

Streep is as enjoyable as ever, and if laughs count for anything, this is one of the better romantic comedies of the season.

Anna Smith, Time Out
Rotten

[Meyers has] given us her thinnest slice of comic relationship angst yet, proving, I guess, that you actually can be too thin.

Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

Writer-director Meyers, who's devoted much of her career to midlife American arousal, that she loses her sense of fun.

Simply put, It's Complicated is a hoot.
