[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was so struck by the concept that some old dude literally killed himself for 8 months of sex. Now that’s some Karma.

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.[/quote]
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 🤷‍♀️[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

I agree. I found Ann insufferable and Ginny was nice, fun, and loved him.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Idk

Ginny is boring, but what are they 60 years old? And all of a sudden, [b]she’s willing to travel across the whole world to go on a vacation by herself.[/b] 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.[/quote]

The reason why she does this is because she followed them after seeing their photos (even though the timing of this doesn't make a lot of sense).  She then proceeds to be lame and mortifying during this trip.  I think she comes off best when she is parenting the daughter in college in the later episodes.[/quote]

Yeah, her motivation was ridiculous and she realizes that. But they act like she’s afraid of her shadow and then she travels across the United States.

Perhaps your boring personality is based on being married to a cheater for decades instead of just that’s a personality.

And again she’s 60-year-old woman what do you want from her?

Meanwhile, the other 60-year-olds are in yurts, 🛖, and trying to be as kind as possible about it so that they’re a loser friend can save face while he cries by the fire.

Nick is selfish. Both Ann and Ginny (and the daughter) are his victims.[/quote]
