The one where the kitchen isn't so great, but only because it's a plot point - now all her children have moved out, Meryl Streep wants to extend her house (which makes no sense whatever) and have that fabulous big kitchen she's always wanted - maybe Nancy is sending herself up?
Nancy and Charles Shyer split up in 1999 but reportedly are still good friends. That may have inspired this screenplay, as Streep and ex Alec Baldwin get it on again, whilst Steve Martin hangs around and confuses things. (He's the third act.)
Was it John Krasinski's breakthrough role? No - that would have been The Office, which kicked off in 2005. With Lake Bell, Mary Kay Place, Rita Wilson, Zoe Kazan.
ACE nominated Joe Hutshing and David Moritz's editing (toilet bowl to French Horn an amusing match cut!), BAFTA nominated Alec Baldwin. Photographed by John Toll.
