Middle-aged romance: Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin

Meryl Streep strikes a blow for sixtysomethings playing a divorcee who, after a night of wine and warmed-up memories, embarks on an affair with her former husband Alec Baldwin (bravely stripping off to reveal a very un-Hollywood pelt and paunch).

Writer and director Nancy Meyers creates a mellow if hardly memorable rom-com which, for once, is not necessarily aimed at younger moviegoers, peppered with witty lines (although Steve Martin as the dull architect dating Streep could have done with some more effective comic material).
