10 years after hubby Alec Baldwin left her for a much younger woman, Meryl Streep hooks up with her ex at their son’s graduation, launching an affair while she’s wooed by an equally wealthy man- an architect played by Steve Martin. 

Streep and  Baldwin have  great chemistry  and they both make it all look so easy but I found myself more enamored with  Streep’s gorgeous California home and gardens  and all the food porn (yes- again, Streep  is queen of the kitchen for the 2nd time this year- except this time she makes only decadent desserts).  I was so taken with her kitchen, I couldn’t believe she spent the whole movie planning to remodel what I  already thought was the perfect culinary domain!!!

The only nudity is Alec Baldwin’s bare butt – and  he used a tush double.

Bottom line:  Not as good as  Director Nancy Meyers’ last middle aged love story :  “Something’s Gotta Give” with Diane Keaton, Jack  Nicholson and  Hollywood’s favorite cougar-bait, Keanu Reeves.
