‘Ex-Husbands’: Divorced Dad Crashes Son’s Bachelor Party
A comedy about a family’s three generations of male romantic malaise. The jokes are mostly squelched by the tangible depression felt by the collective menfolk.
Nick Pearce (James Norton) his dad, Peter Pearce (Griffin Dunne), and little brother Mickey (Miles Heizer) go to spread their family's patriarch's ashes, in "Ex-Husbands." Greenwich Entertainment
“Ex-Husbands,” director Noah Pritzker’s midlife-crisis comedy about four middle-class men—a grandfather, father, two sons—and their various relationship woes, is middling, and reminiscent of mid-1990s Billy Crystal movies.
