The interior shots were filmed on the other side of the United States, on the Broadway stages in Brooklyn, New York. The hit film was an unequivocal box office success, grossing almost three times the amount of revenue it cost to make. After launching on December 25, it continued to do well through the holiday season and finally closed on April 1, by which time ticket sales had surpassed $200 million. Writer-director Nancy Meyers is no stranger to popular romantic comedies. Influenced by the so-called screwball comedies of the 1930s, her scripts are heavily slanted toward the experiences of middle-aged women facing conflict, both in their private and professional lives.
It’s complicated 2009 plot:
Played with aplomb by veteran Hollywood icon Meryl Streep, Jane is the owner of a thriving bakery in Santa Barbara. Her ex-husband is Jake (Alec Baldwin), the successful lawyer she divorced 10 years earlier. Immediately, the stage is set for a relationship that, while never bitter, still ebbs and flows with the strain of maintaining contact, particularly in the lives of their three adult children: Luke (Hunter Parrish), Lauren (Caitlin FitzGerald), and younger sister, Gabby (Zoe Kazan). What adds spice to the relationship between Jane and Jake is the fact that he is married to Agness (Lake Bell), the much younger woman with whom he had an affair that led to the breakdown of the marriage.
As the title says, a simple story of a divorced couple falling in love again is, in fact, complicated. Given the opportunities that exist to socialize today, especially when the digital dimension comes into play, many middle-aged and even more mature people are living life to the fullest and exploring the possibilities of discovering new romances or revisiting previous relationships. There are a growing number of dating services aimed at encouraging senior dating, and new members are gravitating toward this vibrant social scene. The algorithms will present them with short lists of compatible matches, whether they’re looking for casual encounters like Jake and Adam or something more meaningful, like the relationship Jane longs for.
Jane and Jake are invited to Luke’s graduation in New York, where they have dinner together. A small talk across the table causes long-dormant sparks to be rekindled and the couple begins an affair. Jane is overcome with remorse and she regrets being dragged into this potentially volatile situation. The impetuous Jake reacts in the opposite way. Not only is he willing to accept the feelings he still harbors for his ex-wife, but he has also been taking steps to reduce his chances of fertility. He has been conducting sessions aimed at helping Agness get pregnant, while secretly taking medication to make this less likely. Unfortunately, changing the doctor’s instructions produces certain side effects, such as dizziness and a tendency to faint.
As for the other main characters, none of their descendants know anything about their adventure. Jane’s architect Adam (Steve Martin), hired to renovate and redesign Jane’s California home, himself divorced from her, begins to fall in love with her.
