Tina Fey is not a good actress.
Steve carrel as Nick was good but he’s sort of a one to two note actor. I would like to see him stretch more.
Ann was great and I think she was purposely made a little clueless about her bad haircut and older lady clothes.
Ginny was also a good actress but they sort of wrecked her character with her friends who were flat stereotypes

The gay couple- too campy and stereotype ish.

The play- ridiculous and they could have delivered that message in a funny but more realistic way.

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.

Ginny is just one of those pathetic young girls who is too vapid to catch a quality guy and doesn’t have it in her to support herself so she gets pregnant by an older rich guy. Oops not oops.

I was thinking the same thing. I’m Ginny’s age, and I’d lose a lot of respect for my friends if they did that.

Nick got what he deserved 🤷‍♀️

The whole series shows him miserable with Ginny except when having sex.

He’s crying at the fire, he’s hiding in his bedroom, he threw away a perfect life sans sex for a more than miserable one with sex.

He even knows he made a mistake. He just can’t admit it.

Wow, I didn’t interpret it this way at all (I never saw the original movie). I thought that Nick was clearly unhappy with Ann - yes of course after a long marriage there would he some regrets, and he still loved her, but he wasn’t in love with her nor happy with her. She really did seem a dud and in a rut. Nick also seemed genuinely happy with Ginny, more than just a midlife fling. I felt these sentiments were portrayed well by Steve Carrell.

DP I agree with you to a point, but I also adamantly do not believe he wanted another baby. I think he loved Ginni because she was so carefree and he could feel young with all those adventures that were going on. And a baby would end that.

I now think it was rather ominous when his daughter said, you realize Ginni s mom in a younger body, right? I think it was their way of saying, you’re just going to run to the same issues. You’re going to be bogged down by wife and family that’s not what you want.

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.

I agree that Nick was happy with Ginni and it wasn’t just the sex. He and Anne seemed truly mismatched. There was the reference that they were I no the same dorm and met then and just kind of never broke up. I was struck by a couple things — first, he had no family at the vows renewal. Second there was the story about shopping for art and he tells Ann he wants whatever is classiest. He seems like maybe he was a really smart fun guy but came from a not great background and didn’t really know who he was at a young age. Anne represented some kind of stability and kindness and classiness and he glommed onto that. Fast forward a couple of decades and it is clear they have nothing in common and are a bad fit. But he has a kid and she’s a SWHM and he doesn’t want to blow that up. He’s not perfect but I don’t think this is just midlife crisis. They truly seem badly matched. And she seemed like she seriously needed HRT.

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

I also appreciate that sentiment in a long marriage, but grownups know those are temp feelings and the ties and bonds you’ve made building a life and family with one person far outweigh the little irritations. But Nick was too immature to see he had a wonderful, kind, devoted wife and family and friend group, and he blew it all up for temporary ‘fun’ with a sweet but somewhat empty younger woman, and for things like trying to rock climb onto a beach, where he ended up crying and screaming in pain.

I’m very curious about how truly happy he was about that baby. He did pick up a hat in the grocery store that said ‘happy new year, BABY’ and smiled.

But he also wrecked his car in a single car accident while sober on the way home. Was it an accident? Did he have a heart attack?

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.

I agree. I found Ann insufferable and Ginny was nice, fun, and loved him.

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.
