[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved it but I thought these actors looked way too old to be playing these characters.  It seemed to be they were supposed to be in their mid-30s.  It would be weird if they were really supposed to be in their 40s and neither had ever been married before, etc.[/quote]

Yeah this was part of it for me too. I am willing to suspend disbelief a little because these are likeable actors. I can maybe buy that they are both like 39 or 40. She could maybe be 38? But even if that's what I'm supposed to believe I thought it was weird how their age is not discussed at all. It would be relevant because he would have intense pressure to have kids. Whereas Joanne seems to have decided that's not a priority for her and is probably rounding on the end of her fertility anyway. Unclear whether Noah wants kids but given how he strung Rebecca along my guess is he's wishy washy. Well you can be a 40-something guy who is wishy washy about kids if you are marrying a 30 year old. You can't do that if you are marrying a 40 year old -- you have to decide now together if that's what you want and then you have to get on it immediately. IRL people this age dating would be discussing the kid issue pretty much immediately because if they basically don't have kids immediately (if they can) it's not happening.

I think this story would have been more believable if he was just strongly Jewish and his family expected him to marry a Jew but wasn't a rabbi. But I think they plumb the rabbi thing for jokes effectively so I get why they did it. It just strains credulity.[/quote]
