It's...Not Complicated

Ugh, I’m just going to say it. I really didn’t like It’s Complicated as much as we’re all apparently supposed to. I tried really hard. Because after all Alec Baldwin is in it and he’s dead genius. He pretty much carried the movie for me as did John Krasinski’s gleeful moments of comic relief. I’m also aware that this is Nancy Meyers’ milieu, and I enjoy a sprinkling of her when it’s 3 p.m. on a Sunday and I feel like looking at a questionably tan Jude Law traipse around the English countryside with a questionably coordinated Cameron Diaz. But. Enough with all the white people and the bucolic settings! Or at least keep the white bucolicness and ditch the smiling happy jumpy siblings who-after spending an entire movie lighting candles and hugging-stay up late not to drink and smoke, but to play BOARD GAMES.
