it's complicated


finally had some time to indulge in a movie yesterday night. it was a choice between blind side or it's complicated. both starring my favourite actresses, sandra bullock and meryl streep respectively. however, i was in the mood for a lighter, feel-good movie, so it was meryl streep for me.

in the beginning i wasn't quite certain about the movie genre and meryl streep. she has been stepping into more chick flick roles recently and reading the synopsis prior to this movie, it seemed like an ultimate chick flick to me.

however, it didn't come as a surprise that she was able to carry the typical chick flick protagonist further than any other actresses had. she injected emotions and depth to a simple role and made the character much more endearing and realistic.

the movie also had some really hilarious and heart-rending moments. the most comical person in the movie had to be, not steve martin (he was not funny at all), but john krasinski, the soon-to-be-son-in-law of streep's character. he actually stole the limelight from some of the major characters like alec baldwin and steve martin.

a strongly recommended movie :) felt really good after watching it.
