I'm not an Ann (although my name is Anne!) because I am super adventurous and have no trouble climbing back on our boat but I felt for her. She didn't "not try to get back on the boat" - she was trying and she COULDN'T do it. It made my heart ache for her because she just wanted to be who she was, and I think she had always been a little bit like that but had probably stretched herself when she was younger enough that she was who Nick wanted then but now she just wants to be her and he is going in the opposite direction. I thought their marriage and the problems in it were so realistic. I get how you feel, PP, and I see how you viewed Ann and it makes sense. I'm not questioning how hard it is to feel like you do. I'm just saying that from an outside perspective I can see sympathy/empathy but I know that's harder when you're in it. |
I didn’t but that Nick starts dating this young woman, who was ina fluid relationship previously, and it turns into a long term relationship. I was hoping she’d dump him after that hurricane and he’d be humble and look for another relationship. Like it all worked out for Nick immediately, who just stepped a toe in the dating pool? He was so out of his element and awkward, asking her to be his girlfriend. |
Good call out. I noted it when the daughter said that but didn't bring it home like you did. |
You'd love to think that is a bad thing. |
here is the thing... he's a cliche, that is the point... Never happy, always chasing the next thing ... I was hoping he'd figure out that he was the source of his unhappiness, killing his was lazy. Old dude, dates for 8 months.... 8 fricken months and gets trapped in what will be a bad marriage. Old dude with a little kid, SMFH. He hate her friends, he hates being with her around his friends, they have nothing in common. The dudes said it best, we are not supposed to go down into her life your suppose to raise her up into your life. |
For many of us, it us. Wouldn't want to be an Ann, or be with an Ann. |
Did he not have any family at the vow renewal? I know we saw Ann’s dad (who was in the original movie!) but there were lots of other people there. His daughter included. I assumed some of them were his fam |
Wait, did he know about the baby? Did we see her tell him? I didn’t remember that. I thought he was just hiding up in his room because he maybe didn’t like her friends that much. (Did folks notice he was now playing the same iPad game he faulted Ann for? Oh the humanity.) Was someone earlier wondering about his provisions for the baby in his will? Yeah, I don’t know. 🤷♀️ |
So. It still doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. You do you. Get your Willy wet and have a kid at 60 what do I care. |
I don’t think he knew, but some people think he knew because he held up in New Year’s eve thing that said happy New Year’s Eve baby. But that’s a stretch. Maybe he knew because she specifically said they weren’t drinking and that nobody on that vacation was drinking. The thing is Ginny baby will get Social Security for the child. Have you ever met a man? Do you think he changed his will in 1 year. I doubt it. Maybe they’ll be a second season to answer these questions. |
Anne was a complete dud. Such an ick when she couldn't get back on the boat. I thought the reasons why Steve Carrell would want to leave her were believable and fair. But yes, it's a cliche he then finds a girlfriend who could be his daughter, so that made the whole thing pivot into a mid-life crisis. I think the story could have been more interesting if it wasn't just a mid-life crisis but in fact....my partner and I have nothing in common and I don't want to spend my life like this. |
There’s way too much projecting on the response you are responding to. Yes, he had family there. Tina fey said that everybody they knew was there. Also, he was not happy with Ginny he cried every single time we saw him with her. He can’t stand hanging out with her is hiding in the bedroom, calling his friends, like a teenage girl. It’s the whole point unhappy people are unhappy. You can’t dump your life and look for a new one and then all of a sudden you’re happy.. |
Idk Ginny is boring, but what are they 60 years old? And all of a sudden, she’s willing to travel across the whole world to go on a vacation by herself. Maybe it was Nick that was holding her back. Story would’ve been really interesting if Nick went and found an age-appropriate person, got some therapy and became a happy person and a better father. But it ends up being a cliché, old dude can’t stand his new girlfriend except for her in bed, she gets pregnant, he’s a cliché. There’s nothing wrong with.Ginny. There’s nothing wrong with. Ann. There’s something seriously wrong with Nick. |
