Director: Noah Pritzker
Three generations of the same last name unravel in Tulum in Ex-Husbands, Noah Pritzker's 2024 comedy-drama about fathers, sons, and bad timing.
What is Ex-Husbands about?
Peter Pearce boards a flight to Mexico meaning only to crash his son Nick's bachelor party, but the trip turns into something bigger once he's on the ground. His own marriage is quietly ending back home, his father is dealing with a diagnosis, and Nick is having second thoughts about the wedding itself. Stuck together in the same resort town, the three Pearce men are forced to talk about things they've spent years avoiding, and the film follows how a celebration meant for one generation becomes a reckoning for all three.
Cast & crew
Griffin Dunne leads as Peter, with James Norton as his son Nick and Richard Benjamin as the family patriarch; Miles Heizer, Rosanna Arquette, Eisa Davis, Marcia Jean Kurtz, and John Ventimiglia round out the ensemble.
Context & significance
Shot largely on location, the film uses Tulum's resort setting as a pressure cooker rather than a postcard, forcing characters who'd normally avoid each other into close quarters. Noah Pritzker directs the 98-minute feature, a U.S. production that holds a 6.1 rating on IMDb and leans into overlapping, talky family scenes rather than broad comic set pieces. The compact runtime keeps the focus tight on three men in one place over a short stretch of days, rather than spreading the story across a wider ensemble or timeline.
