''It's Complicated'' is a 2009 RomanticComedy directed by Nancy Meyers. Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin and John Krasinski star.
Jane Adler (Streep) is a mother of three who has been divorced from her husband Jake (Baldwin) for a couple of years. Reuniting at their youngest son's graduation, they're prompted to drunkenly sleep together and begin an affair. The only problem is that Jake has remarried, and Jane keeps catching the eye of an architect Adam Schaffer (Martin).
!! Tropes:
* AmicableExes: Jane and Jake at the start. But it's played both for drama and for comedy, as they both wonder if there's still a spark there.
* BettyAndVeronica:
** Jake is torn between his same age ex-wife Jane (Betty) and his vampy younger wife Agness (Veronica).
** Jane herself alternates between Jake as her Veronica and Adam as her Betty.
* ChekhovsGag: Jake gives Jane a marijuana joint, and she decides to smoke it for the party.
* DanceOfRomance: At Luke's party, Agness spots Jane and Jake dancing together and puts two and two together.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Jane frequently forgets her appointments with Adam and blows him off a couple of times in order to meet with Jake. Adam remains nice throughout, although he does call her out on things towards the end.
* FoodPorn: Jane runs a successfully bakery, and there are plenty of shots of the food on display. She teaches Adam how to make croissants in one scene.
* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: The narrative treats Jane sympathetically, since Agness is framed as a RomanticFalseLead for Jake, even though she's fully involved in the affair too. Her friends also cheer her on. Any blame for the affair goes to Jake.
* IntimateOpenShirt: Jake is continually seen in this state throughout the affair.
* MayDecemberRomance: Jake is clearly in his fifties while he's married to the late-twenties Agness.
* MoodWhiplash:
** The light-hearted comedy vanishes abruptly when Agnes's son asks Jake to read him a story, and the entire affair is then given a CerebusRetcon.
** [[spoiler: When the children discover the affair, all of them tearfully say they're still getting over the divorce]].
* SecretKeeper: Harley inadvertently becomes one when he spots Jane and Jake in a hotel together.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Agness spells her name with a second S for some reason.
