Jane Adler (Meryl Streep) is an unattached divorced successful businesswoman who's facing an empty nest situation. Her youngest Gabby (Zoe Kazan) is headed off to college. Her ex Jack (Alec Baldwin) has a trophy wife Agness (Lake Bell). Jane reconnects with her ex Jack, and then Adam Schaffer (Steve Martin) the architect working on her shop.
I can admit that I'm not the target audience. I don't want to see Baldwin's bare butts. I don't find older women making sexual jokes that funny. It's cute, but not my cup of tea. I'm not a divorced older woman. Having said that, I still find some of it funny. The biggest appeal is the relationship with the kids and how the older couple's love affair affects them.
I found Alec Baldwin annoyingly needy. Meryl Streep gives a sweet performance. But Steve Martin lack any spark. He tries so hard to be cool that he becomes cold. I just don't feel the heat between Streep and Martin.
