Tagline: Divorced… with benefits.
Jane Adler (two-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep) is the mother of three grown kids, owns a thriving Santa Barbara bakery / restaurant and has-after a decade of divorce-an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, attorney Jake (Alec Baldwin). But when Jane and Jake find themselves out of town for their son’s college graduation, things start to get complicated.
An innocent meal together leads to several bottles of wine, which in turn becomes a laugh-filled evening of memories about their 19-year marriage… and then to an impulsive affair. With Jake remarried to the much younger Agness (Lake Bell), Jane is now, of all things, the other woman.
Caught in the middle of this renewed romance is Adam (Steve Martin), an architect hired to remodel Jane’s kitchen. Also divorced, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes he’s become part of an unusual love triangle. Should Jane and Jake move on with their separate lives, or has the passage of time made them realize that they really are better together than apart? It’s…complicated.
Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Nancy Meyers (Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday) brings moviegoers her latest film with an all-star cast. With It’s Complicated, she directs a comedy about love, divorce and everything in between. Joining the three stars of It’s Complicated are John Krasinski as Streep and Baldwin’s son-in-law-to-be, Harley, as well as three up-and-coming performers who play the ex-couple’s grown children-Catlin Fitzgerald as Lauren, Zoe Kazan as Gabby and Hunter Parrish as Luke.
