Misbehaving at a Certain Age

It was only a matter of time until the great Meryl Streep played someone who is “a bit of a slut,” but that she does in the Nancy Meyers-directed It’s Complicated, opening this Christmas:



Streep juggles an affair with her now-married ex-husband (Alec Baldwin, who, yes, actually uses the phrase “OMG” in the trailer) and an architect played by Steve Martin.

And I say good for her.

Streep has never been better. And this is coming from someone who didn’t always get her.

She’s found a way to stay relevant in the public’s eye – sure, she’s not doing heavy dramas all that much anymore – and she’s still showing ’em young bitches how it’s done while making studios lots and lots of money. She’s golden, and best of all, I think she’s having fun, which is the most important thing.

So good for her, indeed. And count me in for It’s Complicated, too.
