I agree that John Krasinski as Harley just about stole the show in "It's Complicated"...but then there's Meryl. Despite the fact that this is not Academy Award material, I must say that Meryl Streep delivers exceptional acting as always...whether it be a drama or a romantic comedy as this is, she is always worthy of an Academy Award. She's a natural in a myriad of diverse roles.
Steve Martin, whom I loved in Father Of The Bride, just wasn't doing it for me...lack of chemistry with Streep perhaps. It was a real disappointment for me when Meryl Streep Spoiler: chose him instead of Alec Baldwin at the end but then I thought, hey wait, Alec Baldwin may have had more chemistry with Streep but his character was a real schmuck...not unlike John Edwards...casting the old out for the new. Then he has the audacity to return for "old times"....grrr. Spoiler: So the writers got it right in the end at least. And there were many hilarious moments...one scene almost convinced me to go out and smoke some grass.
