Watching It's Complicated recently I was overwhelmed by a feeling of deja vu. Then I realised I had seen the film before - except it was under the title 'Something's Gotta Give'.
So startling were the similarities, that I feel I can confidently predict what will next be cranked out of the Meyers movie machine:
Hopefully, Nancy Meyers will prove me wrong. And when she does, I might be able to overlook the fact that she portrays all women in their mid-twenties (i.e. my age) as erratic home-wreckers.
A wealthy, creative, neurotic, insomniac woman of a certain age - who can cook, loves France and lives on the west/east coast of America - has a Lipitor-taking ex-husband who has left her for a younger woman. Two men are vying for her affections. One of said men has a foreplay-induced cardiac episode. Her grown-up children have an emotional crisis. She ends up with the right guy.
