Reel? or no real.

Of course the new film It’s Complicated is entirely realistic in positing a middle-aged protagoniste as the object of the competing affections of two eligible (or, not so,) suitors. I hold out hope. All the fun cannot have been passed, like a baton, to the next generation. I won’t have it.

As for the supposition that the character, played by Meryl Streep, could a)run a successful cafe/bakery, b)maintain a well-appointed house, stocked full of homemade food, and c)cultivate a beautifully groomed kitchen garden? Nonsense. But this is the movies we’re talking about.

I have selective suspension of disbelief, as required.
