all these things that i have seen......reviewed : 'it's complicated.'
starring : Meryl Streep, Alex Baldwin, Steve Martin
rating : is it possible to give o out of five ?
ok, it's generally accepted that Meryl Streep is brilliant. I always forget she isnt who she is pretending to be. I was very sceptical when I heard she would be Miranda in Devil wears Prada, but she pulled it off. So when I was invited to the opening of the new Streep and Baldwin film. I went. 
I wore my alter girl dress (so named as it has a high collar, puff sleeves and a short hem, oh and it's black) houndstooth tights i picked up that day from Oasis and various accessories.
I wish i hadn't wasted my good tights on a shite film. If I had paid for it I would have not left without my money back in my purse. it was terrible. here we go :
1 - why cast alex baldwin in anything ? the man is a joke! I spent most of the film retching whenever (and this happened more then once) he took his shirt off and i had to see his hairy nipples....why do men have nipples ?...anyway, he ruined the film for me. i am sure he is a lovely man. but in this film he just ruined it. we couldn't stop laughing at him. and not because he was cracking jokes. So that ruined the film first of all for me.
2 - I don't know who wrote the script but it was embarrassing. so many cliqued moments of oprah-esque crap flowed. it was so so cringy.
3 - I could not believe that streep's character would have had such a bad choice to make. the fat one or the mentally ill looking old man. (steve martin - who FWI is looking really really really old.)
these sound like small things but in fact they are not. they are, all together things that can make or break your film. and in this case it broke it. into a million pieces. it just did not work. i don't know who was at fault more. casting ? or scriptwriters ? either way.
the review is this friends.
stay clear of it. its awful.
ps - that wan from TV3 with the cut off hair do was at the launch. her hair is actually something i think everyone should expierience at least once. this is my second time. and each time i feel like i am just that little bit more scarred for life.
