I loved the book. The movie was pretty good, but I especially appreciated that the very few salacious scenes in the book were cleaned up and the movie is totally appropriate for young teens.
Great ambiance, good characters, Reese is a delight, as always. Robert Pattinson is a wonderful actor and I hope one day he'll get a great part that allows him to be more than "the hunk."
It's true this film is hilarious in parts, but what makes it truly memorable is the sensitive, smart and intelligent way it examines divorce and human feelings.
When it's funny, It's Complicated is hilarious, and when it's serious, this movie is smart. Some reviewers indicated the movie wasn't funny all the time. Well, when the movie is not laugh out loud funny, then it's touching, genuine and wise.
Especially outstanding is the portrayal of the effect of the long-divorced parents' behavior on the kids. This is a remarkable movie. I can't say enough good things about it. An adult movie in every sense of the word.
This installment of the series plunges you right into the thick of the story. I had to explain some elements to my companion who hadn't read the books.
It was thrilling to see the three leads growing up and older. It also had a rather realistic presentation of teenage troubles.
