Replace the farming game with trolling on DCUM. |
Couldnt get into it at all. |
+1 yes I saw myself in that and it freaked me out! |
i kind of related to all the characters. my husband had to keep reminding em that we like each other. i really loved this show. probably beyond what it deserves. i could watch 16 hours of coleman domingo making funny facial expressions. |
He was so great in this. |
So true! |
I thought it was pretty clear. The two girls obviously grew up friendly and probably vacationed together a lot as kids. Both went to the same college so their parents assumed they’d hang out a ton (/although it seemed like one girl was maybe a senior doing her senior theater project and the other girl was maybe a freshman?). The look she gave her mom said both: 1) we don’t really hang out because outside of you guys we don’t actually have that much in common; and 2) she’s gotten really weird and emo and angry this year with her parents divorce and I’m not rdigging that vibe, but you’ll see for yourself during the weekend. It basically foreshadowed that the play was gojng yo be a disaster without the one girl having to sh-t-talk her childhood friend. |
Agree. And the story in the show about how he met his husband is a little similar to how he met his husband in real life—walking down the street and just saw him and was instantly hooked. |
No, I get Julia Stiles mixed up with Kirsten Dunst. |
In the original show, Allen Alda’s real children played his kids and it was a cool casting feature. I think including these kids was partly due to that. |
I also wanted more backstory but I think they're there because otherwise we'd ask why the couples are at college weekend and never see their kids. It also gives a tiny glimpse of the type of parents the couples are. In the movie the kids join together in a soccer game with their parents. I don't think they played Frisbee in the show, did they? |
Just finished this and my DH and I (54/52) both LOVED it. I liked how everyone was the ahole at different parts in the story and some of the lines were just perfect. We had to rewind at times because we were laughing hard enough that we missed stuff. Agree with PP on Coleman Domingo’s facial expressions - he’s up there with Kenan Thompson. |
Christensen is 42 years old, LOL. |
I felt like they signed on for one more season, but Steve didn’t, so they cut him out. Weird. |
I just rewatched the original and they made the Anne character much quirkier than in the new version, to the point that it seems that she is on the spectrum. When I saw the movie when it first came out we wouldn’t have had that term for it, but I do remember feeling that her husband’s description of her being “stuck” and “obsessed” was probably accurate and not something she could change. I think the people making the new version were uncomfortable providing any basis for sympathy for the husband that initiated the divorce and so they got rid of the weirdness in Ann’s character. |
