What I like most about this movie is that although it is a comedy, it does not fall into the black and white stereotype of eliminating evil and promoting good. Alec Baldwin abandoned his 19-year marriage and family for a young and beautiful girl ten years ago. According to common sense, Chen Shimei is reborn, but he is still the father that his children like. The "vicious" young wife is actually very fragile, not all of the virtues of a woman who worships money. Meryl Streep said to Alec Baldwin when recalling her divorce: "Actually, when you had an accident with her, I could save it, but I gave up, I gave up on us, and the divorce was not all about it. It's your fault."
"Love is Complicated" explores many crisis variables in marriage in a relaxed and non-serious way, such as the lack of emotional life after being busy, women being indifferent to their husbands due to excessive cuddling, old couples and young wives fertility problems, etc. Comedy can actually have a bit of depth, unfortunately, a lot of the comedies I've seen over the years have ended up being farce, and it's impossible to laugh at all.
The heroine Jane played by Meryl Streep, who is in her 60s, is really vivid. She can't tell her age at all. She has the charm of a middle-aged woman. charm. Alec Baldwin, the handsome guy of the year, is now a big-bellied, fat lawyer, but just so, there is a clumsy and ridiculous sense of comedy. On the other hand, comedian Steve Martin lacked some fun, because he was emotionally hurt in the play, coupled with the strictness of the architect, his temperament was restrained and shy, and he couldn't let go.
The video online dating scene of Meryl Streep and Steve Martin in the film is very funny. There were many scenes of peeping at adultery through curtains in the previous drama, but this time it was changed to a video connection, which is very creative.
