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

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Streep is as enjoyable as ever, and if laughs count for anything, this is one of the better romantic comedies of the season.
[Meyers has] given us her thinnest slice of comic relationship angst yet, proving, I guess, that you actually can be too thin.
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.
