Two entirely different family films

In one, It's Complicated, Meryl Streep plays a woman who has an affair with her remarried ex-husband, Alec Baldwin, while also being courted by an architect played by Steve Martin. For some reason, this doesn't work for me -- at least, not a first glance. It reminds me a little of Something's Gotta Give, which may be because both are from the same filmmaker, Nancy Meyers.

The other, The Boys Are Back, looks a little more promising. It stars Clive Owen as a writer whose wife dies suddenly and must raise his two sons on his own.
