It's Complicated is a 2009 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Nancy Meyers, starring Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.
Jane (Meryl Streep), who owns a successful bakery in Santa Barbara, California, and Jake (Alec Baldwin), a successful attorney, divorced ten years ago. They had three children together, two girls and a boy, who are grown. Jake, who was cheating on Jane, married the much younger Agness (Lake Bell).
Jane and Jake attend their son Luke's college graduation from St. John's University in New York City. After a dinner together, the two begin an affair, which continues in Santa Barbara. Jane is torn about the affair; Jake is not.
While Agness has Jake scheduled for regular sessions at a fertility clinic, Jake is secretly taking medication, a side effect of which reduces his sperm count. After one of his sessions he has a lunchtime rendezvous with Jane at a hotel. Jake collapses in the hotel room and a doctor is called. The doctor speculates that the reason for Jake's distress may be the medication and says he should stop taking it. Jake and Jane's children know nothing of the affair, but Harley (John Krasinski), who is engaged to their daughter Lauren, spots the pair and the doctor in the hotel but keeps silent.
Here we go again, another night
of being bummed
I keep to myself, avoid the society
And cancel plans with everyone
I know cause this is how it
always ends
Our bond will break cause you
can’t relate
To anyone, to anything at all
You brought your worst and I’m
right here
Now I've seen it all, and it’s never
been so clear
You’re not the person that I knew
back then
It’s all too late to set things
straight cause
everything has been
You’re not the person that I knew
back then
Lets try and act like this didn’t
happen
Follow your friends like you ever
had them
You still know me
Still not cut out for this sort of
thing
Never want to be, caught in
between
I need constant reminders of
everything
So what! It’s who I am, but I think
I played it off so
well
I just hold it in, no matter how
I’ve been, so nobody,
nobody can tell
You brought your worst and I’m
right here
Now I've seen it all, and it’s never
been so clear
You’re not the person that I knew
back then
It’s all too late to set things
straight cause
everything has been
You’re not the person that I knew
back then
Lets try and act like this didn’t
happen
Follow your friends like you ever
had them
I won’t sleep till the break of
dawn
(Break of dawn!)
I cant let our problems find me
here
So everybody come on!
You brought your worst and I’m
right here
Now I've seen it all, and it’s never
been so clear
You’re not the person that I knew
back then
It’s all too late to set things
straight cause
everything has been
You’re not the person that I knew
back then
Lets try and act like this didn’t
happen
Follow your friends like you ever
had them
You’re not the person that I knew
back then
It’s all too late to set things
straight cause
everything has been
You’re not the person that I knew
back then
Lets try and act like this didn’t
happen
Follow your friends like you ever
