[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just finished it yesterday too OP. I liked it overall. A few thoughts I had:

*I didn't like Nick at all. He was an awful person. It just goes to show how people are glued by old friendships. Kind of similar to sibling relationships.

*I liked Ginny. I think her friends were ridiculous cliches though. Maybe it's to show that she doesn't really belong in that world and that's why she chose Nick. She was a dental hygienist and most dental hygienists I know are not flighty, nor are they in fluid relationships. Maybe that's why the writers picked that as her career.

*How they cast Lila was odd. If you know hedge fund managers children, they are not like her. I'm guessing they were showing that she was more a product of being raised by Anne.

*I liked Anne, but she is not a hedge fund wife either, lol. I think they purposely made her frumpy looking with her clothing and hairstyle.

*I'm a Tina Fey fan, so I naturally liked Kate. Her relationship with her husband was fine. I'm guessing like a post before that she is some kind of lawyer or CFO or something of that nature.

*I liked Danny. I like the scenes where he was one on one with the other characters.

*They could have cast Kate's husband differently. I like Will Forte and he was probably cast because of SNL and 30 Rock, but they didn't have a lot of romantic chemistry. Maybe someone like Paul Rudd or Zach Galifianakis. I'm just spitballing people who can play likeable goofballs pretty well.

*I agree that Tina Fey and Steve Carrell are aging pretty well.

*As a 50 something person, it was nice to see a Gen X series that wasn't just about the kids.[/quote]

I agree with all this, except if they had cast Paul Rudd, as epic as that would’ve been, the target audience of women is obsessed with Paul Rudd, and I don’t think that we would buy that they would be having marital problems and that she wouldn’t be doing anything but jumping his bones every chance she got.

Only slightly kidding, but he’s almost too appealing for this role and I thought Will forte did a good job of being believably appealing and frustrating.

I will say, I am really pissed that Nick did not have to deal with his choices. I would have loved to see them flash forward a year or two when all the adventures have stopped and Ginny is deep into being a new mom and all that entails. Realistically, she probably would’ve ended up closer to Ann after she and Nick separated. Nick has proven he has no interest in being in the trenches.[/quote]

OK, maybe not Paul Rudd. He would have probably been more of a star than a supporting character lol. [/quote]

+1 Paul Rudd would have been too appealing in that role. That said, I thought Will forte was the weakest character - either the script or casting.[/quote]
