It's Complicated (15) stars Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin as a middle-aged couple who start an affair - 10 years after they got divorced.

Streep plays mother-of-three Jane, who owns a bakery and restaurant in Santa Barbara, California, and is on good terms with her ex-husband Jake (Baldwin).

The old flame begins to flicker again when they stay at the same hotel in New York for their son Luke's graduation, and end up reminiscing about their 19-year marriage over a drink or three.

With attorney Jake now married to a younger woman, Agness (Lake Bell), Jane soon becomes the "other woman".

Things get even more complicated when it turns out that the architect helping to build Jane's dream kitchen, played by Steve Martin, is ever so slightly in love with her.

The film was nominated for a whole slew of Golden Globe nominations, including Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for Streep, Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, and Best Screenplay for writer/director Nancy Meyers.

Baldwin believes Meyers, who brought us Baby Boom, Father Of The Bride and What Women Want, has created something more mature than the standard romcom.

"To me Nancy's movies are adult romantic comedies – they're a little more honest than young people's romantic comedies," he says.

"Romantic comedies for young people seem to be a little crazy to me – everybody is doing incredibly stupid things to try and get a laugh. And it is funny, but when you're appealing to an older audience, you need to be a little more dramatic, because the stakes are higher.

"But at the same time you have to keep it light, it is a weird balance to strike and Nancy is so good at that kind of movie."
