Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin star as a divorced couple who start to fall back in love with each other, despite the fact that he’s remarried and she is seeing Steve Martin on the side. Romantic comedies are my least favorite genre, but when the characters are older, wiser, and self-actualized — not to mention played by pros of this caliber — they can be downright tolerable. Highlights include a moment where Baldwin unintentionally shows Martin the Full Monty, and a party scene in which Streep and Martin arrive higher than kites. Directed by Nancy Meyers (director of Something’s Gotta Give and screenwriter of Baby Boom and Private Benjamin). The Office‘s John Krasinski is charming in a supporting role.
