It's Complicated

Universal has debuted the trailer for their big holiday comedy called It’s Complicated starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, and John Krasinski. This is, to put it frankly, exactly the kind of movie my parents will love. But maybe I’m just in a bad mood, because this trailer just pisses me off. It’s exactly the kind of trite crap that I didn’t want to see any more of this year. The other thing that really upsets me about it is that I’m sure the title, It’s Complicated, was “inspired” by the relationship options on Facebook (ugh), in an attempt to modernize this in the most ridiculous way. You can do better than that, Universal!

A comedy about love, divorce and everything in between. Jane is the mother of three grown kids, owns a restaurant/bakery and has an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, attorney Jake. But when Jane and Jake find themselves out of town for their son’s college graduation, things start to get complicated.

It’s Complicated is both written and directed by Oscar nominated filmmaker Nancy Meyers, of The Parent Trap, What Women Want, Gotta Give, and The Holiday from 2006 most recently. Universal is bringing It’s Complicated to theaters everywhere on Christmas Day, December 25th. Will you see it?
