I'm pretty sure everyone saw the previews for this much-hyped movie starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, and Steve Martin... and many middle aged women actually saw it. As it turns out, its a decent movie. Alec Baldwin, the rage of current pop culture, stars as the same character he seems to always play and yet we still always love, himself. (I was able to sell this movie to the boyfriend based on this fact alone, ladies take note).
There are definitely some resemblances to Something's Gotta Give, by the same director, so if you liked that movie, you will probably find things to like about this one as well. It does up the ante with an R rating, so this film may not be for everyone.
For me, I found it to be a fine movie, but not at all the best works of any of these actors. Meryl Streep's character used to be married to Alec Baldwin's character, and as you most likely already know, they have an affair. If you saw the previews, you get it. The best part of the whole movie is John Krasinski (Jim from the Office). It doesn't matter what role he plays, I seem to always fall in love with his fictional characters. Ahhh Jim...
If you're bored and care for a few laughs (i.e. the scene where Meryl and Steve are feeling groovy) then check this movie out, but on the other hand, you won't be missing much if you don't.
