Chicago Tribune
It's Complicated isn’t: It’s pretty simple. It’s simply a good time. - 75
ReelViews
Ends up being one of the end-year's best sources of pure entertainment. And for those who believe laughter is the best medicine, there's more than a bellyful or two to be found here. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
What Meyers doesn't do is take chances. She sticks to formula and predictability. In "Complicated," this is as much a matter of casting as writing. - 70
Chicago Reader
The comedy approaches true hilarity only when Meyers resorts to the surefire gimmick of having the oldsters get massively stoned at a party, though Streep's dilemma is handled well enough for the movie to accumulate some gravitas as it nears the two-hour mark. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
It's Complicated is middle-aged porn, the specialty of Meyers, who also set ladies and interior decorators drooling over homes and gardens in 2006's “The Holiday.” - 63
Rolling Stone
You don't have to feel guilty for lapping up this froth. Just don't expect nourishment. - 63
Chicago Sun-Times
There's funny stuff here. We like everybody. - 40
Time Out
It’s bad enough that Nancy Meyer’s latest conventional romcom is blessed with a title so bluntly unimaginative as to seem facetious; the rub is that it’s not even a truthful assessment.
