bundled with Mamma Mia! ('08)

When I ffwd'd through to check for flaws, it looked cute, so I watched it. The story does give MS an opportunity to act various emotions, because it's as the title states: complicated.

The c.track is not very illuminating. The writer/dir is familiar with the early 40's comedies of remarriage (terminology she does not use), and this is a twist on that. Otherwise the c.track does the usual thing of narrating at what venue was this shot captured.

Amusing, pretty to look at, and nice to have older characters as the romantic focus.

Rated  6.6 (79,294)
