    I don't understand why everyone calls movies like this "female wish fulfillment." Having an affair with your ex-husband at age 50 doesn't sound like wish fulfillment to me. Plus, this kinda shit happens all the time. Your bf/husband leaves you for someone, and later wants to rekindle the relationship. Big deal. Nothing "fantasy" or "unbelievable" about it.

    50-year-old women have sex lives and social drama. This is seriously not some great ideal that none of us could ever hope to reach.

    I'm hoping to go see this movie with a guy I like, who really loves Alec Baldwin. I'm tricking him into going to a movie with me by volunteering to be the woman he's with that makes it acceptable for him to buy a ticket for this movie. [Insert evil laughter here.]

    while this edition of "Over 40 Rock" sounds snoozy, even hammy meryl streep is worth watching.

    also, is "older people"-getting-high in movies ever really funny? their reactions are always excruciatingly overwrought. then again, i'm in the school of lay in bed, eat, drool, repeat.

    God forbid middle-aged women have their own fantasies come to life on screen just once (soooo unrealistic!) when John Travolta, Denzel Washington and Stephen Seagal could be blowing stuff up and pretending they can sprint.

    critics complained that It's Complicated is just an unrealistic "fem fantasy" about conspicuous consumption and revenge against philandering husbands.

    Is this a serious complaint? Just because the movie stars Meryl Streep, it doesn't mean that it needs to be a searingly realistic commentary of the sad, sad plight of the poor middle-aged divorcees. How dare Nancy Meyers come up with this piece of rose-tinted escapist drivel!

    It's like critics complaining that the Transformers films are just unrealistic teenage boy fantasies about big metal toys and winning the hot girl. Well...yes. That's what it was made to be.

    @quitelikely: I was thinking something similar. It's not very funny, the characters are not always likable... those are perfectly legitimate criticisms of the film. But "it's an unrealistic fem fantasy" just strikes me as a sort of toothless criticism of a comedy.

    didn't love it, but oh my god! the box of acceptable female behavior is small, ladies. if you're successful and buy stuff for yourself, that, apparently, is now bad. baldwin's character is the one actually cheating, but the reviewers pillory streep's character more. then, they don't like her because she likes him. oh, and she has personal problems -- how awful. she likes to decorate her house in a pleasing fashion -- what a selfish shrew. people like her and want to sleep with her -- fantasy! how dare a successful female director make a movie that is a female fantasy. men never do that, right? seriously... there is nothing a lady person can do that won't be excoriated. like i said, i didn't love the movie but the reason i didn't love it is it needs way more jokes. as far as successful older women buying nice shit for themselves and being successful and stupid and doing bad things -- i'm all for it.

    Is it possible that whole interview was kind of sarcastic and ironic or something? Because he was asking him weird questions about his sexuality and such...I refuse to believe he's that much of a douche, or if he was, that he would be so open about it. I think he was being facetious. Or so I will tell myself, because I have to have sex with him.

    @lalaland13: It's possible that the interviewer is not a very good one and asked a bunch of assy, ASSY questions, and sometimes when confronted with that sort of shit, people come up with an answer half startled and half in the pursuit of "this is nuts, please GTFO ASAP". Someone else on the interweb was all WTF over how the interviewer just assumed MM is gay, didn't even ask, just assumed... which I find really odd too.

    In short, I'm living in the land of plausible deniability/lalalalala I can't hear you/what interview? (at least til I go home and get my copy of Elle, I can't believe I didn't know this was in it -- I bought it for Gaga) because, um, yeah.

    @LBB: Elle put up part of it on the Web site, and damn that interviewer, Andrew Goldman, has always seemed to pride himself on "quirky" questions that often cross into "hey you're being an asshole."

    I can see MM thinking "Well fuck this guy isn't taking it seriously so why should I?" I don't know. The gay stuff seemed rather tongue-in-check, maybe. I have a feeling this might have played better on The Daily Show rather than in print, and the interviewer was doing a poor Jon Stewart impersonation. Not sure what to make of the Tiffani-Amber Thiessen comment, but the "Thank you very much for that" could be "WTF you dick."

    It doesn't look great, but I'm not sure if the Magic 8 Ball of Douchiness has spoken once and for all on this.

    @lalaland13: All righty, I'm back, magazine in hand. Reading the entire thing (there's not very much more than what's online, it's a single page) I get the sense that the interviewer was trying to push buttons/be funny/be an ass/whatever. The remaining info seems to be that MM's dad, a nurse, made him scared of sex by showing him pics of STDs and he felt bad the first few times he did it. So, YMMV, but my Magic 8-Ball of Douchetasticity still says "Answer Cloudy, Try Again Later".
