Plot: Jane (Meryl Streep), a mom with three college age kids, gets in a love triangle with her ex-husband Jake (Alec Baldwin) and her architect Adam (Steve Martin.) Sitcom comedy occurs with the Jake's new wife (Lake Bell), pot smoking, sex scenes, and erotic, midnight croissant making.
Review: Most of the movie is treacle-sweet and forgettable. There are about three scenes that are very funny, but these are over weighed by the truly dreadful and cringe-worthy. In the beginning Alec Balwin's character is dynamic and fun, but that gets old. Meryl Streep has a some good facial acting, but not enough, and the dialog is awful. Like a high school skit, or a soon-to-be-cancelled TV sitcom.
Cast: Meryl Streep, Alex Baldwin, Steve Martin
Crew: written and directed by Nancy Meyers, who should have hired a professional writer.
Rating: 1.5 flasks
More: I want to have a vegetable garden like Meryl Streep's.
Even more: Alec Baldwin's nude scene with the MacBook is an instant classic.
Yet more: I liked the catty girlfriends. The best part, not counting the vegetable garden.
