[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some nice moments but overall fairly mediocre with tired stereotypes and trite jokes. I give it a B-

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. [/quote]

In the original movie, Nick was kind of an aging hot guy clinging to his youth and his pregnant girlfriend was a sexy young woman who filled his need to be younger. They portrayed the pregnancy as an accident as kind of a cautionary tale of when older guys get with younger women and unintentionally get a second family.

In the original, Ann was a hippy dippy weirdo played by Sandy Dennis. She was portrayed as kind of stuck in life and unable to understand why her husband Nick was unhappy in the marriage. Even her friends could not stand her and barely tolerated her.[/quote]

I disagree with this assessment of the movie

Ann was lost and maybe depressed and searching for meaning. She was a photographer who photographers vegetables. She likely shrink into that life because Nick took so the air in the room and was a chronic cheater. She lost her self esteem after that, which is understandable.

It's not until after the divorce that she finally moves on and up in her career, photographing things for magazines like the other women has been trying to do (one was working at the magazine and tried to connect her but Ann couldn't do it when she was still with Nick).

In the movie Nick was clear about wanting to start over with a family. He seemed very excited about the pregnancy. I think he couldn't relate to his wife and his daughter as they both were deep feelers who drifted towards depression.[/quote]
