we went to see 'it's complicated' with meryl streep, alec baldwin and steve martin. i can't say i enjoyed it a whole lot, although there were some funny bits. it felt too contrived and unrealistic -- what planet do the creators live on? these characters lived way too well, had no real need to work, some scenes were completely unrealistic (her three grown kids so overwhelmingly upset they have a sleep-in) and some were token (the silly girl talk sessions with streep and her pals). [oh brother -- rolls eyes] the main character has a huge house, a garden, a vegetable garden, a swimming pool, yet still feels she needs to build a proper kitchen?
the comic relief was wonderful, provided not by steve martin as one would expect, but by john krasinski who played streep's son-in-law. completely brilliant.
after the movie, we noticed a very small makeshift ice skating rink for fun outside. i tried shooting the skaters but they were coming out way too blurry. so i shot the ice instead.
