Jane (Streep) is the mother of three grown kids, owns a thriving Santa Barbara bakery/restaurant and has—after a decade of divorce—an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, attorney Jake (Baldwin). But when Jane and Jake find themselves out of town for their son’s college graduation, things start to get complicated. An innocent meal together turns into the unimaginable—an affair. With Jake remarried to the much younger Agness (Lake Bell), Jane is now, of all things, the other woman. Caught in the middle of their renewed romance is Adam (Martin), an architect hired to remodel Jane's kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes he's become part of a love triangle.This movie was hilarious. Streep, Baldwin and Martin all played off of each other excellently and you really get hooked in to the whole demented family dynamic that is created. The unsung hero of the movie is John Krasinski (Jim on The Office) as Streep and Baldwin's future son-in-law who is aware of the affair that's going on. His reactions to what he sees and the pot smoking scenes with Streep and Martin had both WW and I laughing out loud. The movie ran a little bit longer than it had to. Outside of that - there really isn't too much to knock about this movie.
I definitely recommend that people check this movie out. Its one of the more simple and enjoyable comedies out there.
