- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliEnds up being one of the end-year's best sources of pure entertainment. And for those who believe laughter is the best medicine, there's more than a bellyful or two to be found here.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttWhat Meyers doesn't do is take chances. She sticks to formula and predictability. In "Complicated," this is as much a matter of casting as writing.
- 70Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesChicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThe comedy approaches true hilarity only when Meyers resorts to the surefire gimmick of having the oldsters get massively stoned at a party, though Streep's dilemma is handled well enough for the movie to accumulate some gravitas as it nears the two-hour mark.
- 67Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumIt's Complicated is middle-aged porn, the specialty of Meyers, who also set ladies and interior decorators drooling over homes and gardens in 2006's “The Holiday.”

- 40VarietyTodd McCarthyVarietyTodd McCarthyCute and clever though the plot may be, everything is played out in the broadest possible terms without an iota of nuance or subtlety.
- 20Village VoiceVillage VoiceWatching this garish fiasco, I found it mildly depressing to see Streep hurdling through this gauntlet of strained whimsy, her every toothy smile and throaty chortle more affected than Sophie Zawistowski's Polish accent.
