Pleasant romantic drama for the older set with Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. Streep and Baldwin have appealing chemistry which papers over the holes in the script. Baldwin specially seems to be enjoying himself. Streep makes the most of a well written role. Martin feels a touch miscast in a dramatic role.Watchable7/10

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!!

I had heard about this film on its release but didn't check it out until it came on TV one early evening, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Meryl is delightfully funny, Alec Baldwin smolders, and Steve Martin is adorable as the underdog. Its a warm gentle movie, and although I found it hard to believe how the characters were functioning salary wise it made for very good entertainment. For a romantic comedy it is definitely one of the better ones, and the opening scene is breathtaking. It's nice to see older relationships under the spotlight, and to see the over 40s being sexy and fun, showing its not all about the young nubile ones in the world. The funniest scene is the laptop scene it had me howling with laughter, it was very well done. I wish that they had used the little kid Pablo more, but otherwise a very enjoyable film.

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!
