Even before I begin this, I have a confession…I love Meryl Streep…she is easily the most beautiful actress of our times and oh boy has she aged gracefully or what…and what a wonderful actress…the ease with which she takes on the characters as if that’s what she is…it’s sheer pleasure to watch her…
And now about the movie…there is something endearing to see the old romancing…it feels like the real thing…not the “in your pants before I even met you” or “the geek the cheerleader the soccer captain triangle”…after staying together close to two decades when two people move apart how do they move on or find closure…especially when you have no just shared lives and have seen each other growing up but also have had children together…at some point in the movie Jane (Meryl Streep) says to Jack (Alec Baldwin) – we have each grown into the person we wanted to become…it would be so much easier if couples would separate after the first few years and then get back together much later in life…
Meryl Streep shares such superb chemistry with both Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin that you feel you are witnessing real life and not a story on silver screen…Even though the movie is kitsch yet it’s absolutely worth a watch…
