one of the films seductive for its lead actors. and for the story who is the comfortable armor for theirs performances. a comedy , not great but more than nice, interesting because it seems be a well known story, provocative because it is an artistic duel between great actors and surprising because Meryl Streep has not chance to be the same and Alec Baldwin has the perfect partner for a great show. a film about past, love, friendship and family. nothing original. at the first sigh. but adorable.for art and humor and the fine irony.

saw this in theater or tried to, film broke, how quaint. I think Nancy Meyers commentaries on the films she direct are hilarious, as she sweats every detail, even ones no film-goer would notice or care about. Ex-husband Alec Baldwin and former wife Meryl Streep get along very well until a new man Steve Martin comes along, hilarity ensues, although this may be the least funny movie he's ever been in. The Santa Barbara exteriors and Brooklyn interiors worked well. Particularly good the casting of the kids such as Hunter Parrish who went on to do Still Alice and as the son in law Mr Emily Blunt, John Krazynski, easily the most underrated actor in Hollywood. I found it believable and smart, even the 15th time.

Wow! This film was very impressive, from the acting to the script, to the storyline. Meryl Streep of course shines and excels in every scene she's in! Alec Baldwin did a great job with his role, the hated ex husband. And Steve Martin really pulls of the whole nice guy look and the new potential love interest for Meryl's character. This movie is very clever with its dialogue between characters, I really enjoyed the funny dialogue! I also love the way the sex scenes were handled, they didn't actually show any sex, just the aftermath. I like it when they leave certain things to the imagination. John Krasinki was also pretty funny as their daughters fiancé Harley. There's a pot smoking scene that is hilarious, one of the best and funniest parts of the whole movie! There's also a scene where Alec shows up naked with only Meryl's laptop covering what needs to be covered, not knowing she is on skype with Steve Martin, she walks out, screams, Steve Martin screams, I thought that was very funny, I sincerely hope nothing similar to that has ever happened to anyone before haha. But anyways, this is just a funny sweet and intelligently written romantic comedy starring great acclaimed actors who really give it their all here! 10/10. A great time for men AND women!!

It was so refreshing to see a comedy that was geared toward the forgotten audience -- that is, people past their 30s. This film is so great that any age audience could enjoy it. Granted, they may not get all the jokes, because some of the irony is something you get over time - but it has enough to keep just about anyone's interest.It is important to keep in mind that this film is meant to be lighthearted and funny. Thus, it should be enjoyed that way, rather than trying to make it something it was never meant to be. Nor should it be compared against other dramatic work of the actors. The pairing of Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin is brilliant. All of these actors possess a pedigree such that their names speak for themselves. Therefore, watching them in this movie is a pure joy.Alec Baldwin's teen-aged antics are positively hilarious. Just about everyone can find themselves in a situation where the are reunited with an ex for some reason - so even this story is fathomable, making it all the more funny. More, please! Hollywood -- are you listening? We don't need more stupid movies with Katherine Heigl and Jennifer Aniston -- we need movies that celebrate all ages of life. People over 40, after all, are not dead yet!
