Ok, this was funny and meryl Streep tried with what she was given--granted the range of her acting talent is incredible--but the screen play, the script, the one-dimensensial characters and the cliche's that kept on coming were insulting. Nobody went any deeper in the character then what was out in your face. Meryl knew she should have these mixed and complicated emotions and I think Meryl attempted to find them, but the script didn't cooperate with her. Shirley McClane and Jack Nicholson did so much better in the same story line in Terms of enderment. This was a funny movie but flat...I'm sure divorced kids found this horrible and upsetting, to once again be let down.
