Congratulations on a film that is truly funny and well done.
Divorce is tough; relationships after divorce are sometimes even
tougher; laughing about it is key to getting on with life. Saw this
movie at a post-production screening in Thousand Oaks CA on Wednesday,
October 21. The welcoming crew said we were the first audience to see
this movie.
Alec Baldwin (Jake) was perfectly scripted and his physique makes the
movie funnier. His scenes in the fertility clinic, on Jane's (Streep)
bed with a laptop; and as a 'sexpot' were rolling on the floor
hilarious. Steve Martin as a serious and considerate architect was also
well-casted. Even as serious as he was most of the time, we laughed at
his lines and situations. Meryl Streep: what can I say? Always classy,
always professional. Even in funny situations. Jake and Jane's kids
were great (especially the future son-in-law as he tried not to "spill
the beans" and choice of pajamas).
I'm over 50 and would be interested to hear what people under 30 think
of this film. Two thumbs up!
