Should be called 'its white people'

Can we change that to "RICH white people problems?" I don't know anyone who lives like that.

I'm certainly not rich, but I thought that the houses and businesses were sweetly normal and average.

And, what EXACTLY is wrong with "white people?"

I know PLENTY of black people with houses that are HUGE and who drive very expensive cars, so I really object to the label of "white people."

The characters in "It's Complicated," ALL worked and earned money. It's not as if they were globe-trotting and hanging-out on yachts as we see with the real "Hollywood crowd," such as with Kanye West and his "crew" for instance. A group of "models" wearing just about nothing, were standing in front of a huge boat at St. Tropez, holding champagne glasses, and looked so ridiculous, with a vacant look on their faces; as if they had practiced being "bored to death" while at one of the most beautiful spots on earth. I doubt they even knew where they were; I also doubt they could tell the difference between St. Tropez, Cap Ferrat, or Antibes. They might as well have been at Catalina.

In that instance, REAL LIFE was more phony that the movie.

I was disappointed at the marijuana smoking. I don't know a single person who does that, and the notion of a middle aged woman, and mother, acting so irresponsibly, and so cheap, was a but stunning. I guess they were trying to appeal to a certain audience who they think is turned on by the thought of "older" people smoking pot.

There was also a scene at lunch with 3 other women and the conversation became very racy. I have never been to lunch with women that coarse, or who spoke with such disregard for themselves, their "friends" and others at the restaurant who would have HAD to have heard them. But then, she was also coarse with Steve Martin when they were on their laptops. I don't know a grown woman who would "excuse herself" from a man she hardly knew, with such coarse language; absolutely NO sense of decorum (or respect for herself) at all.

Steve Martin was desperate to accept someone that vulgar as someone to "hang out" with. HOW was she to be a role model to her children when she behaves with no manners or sense of decency, herself? Hugging does NOT make up for vulgar behavior. I was disappointed in Meryl Streep and John Krasinski, but expected that kind of behavior out of a sleaze like Baldwin.

They certainly didn't portray "white people" as acting very nice. The fact that their houses were decent is not the problem. The problem was their less than stellar behavior being viewed as "normal."
