Das Leben des New Yorker Zahnarztes Peter Pearce läuft gerade nicht besonders gut. Er leidet immer noch unter der Scheidung seiner Eltern vor sechs Jahren, seine eigene Ehe steht ebenfalls kurz vor dem Aus und sein Vater liegt im Sterben. Kurzum entschließt sich Peter daher abzuschalten und reist zum Junggesellenabschied seines ältesten Sohnes Nick, den sein jüngster Sohn Mickey organisiert. Sehr zum Leidwesen seiner Söhne, die mit ihren ganz eigenen Problemen zu kämpfen haben. Regisseur und Autor Noah Pritzker hat in Ex-Husbands die Scheidung seiner eigenen Eltern verarbeitet, die sich nach 35 Jahren Ehe getrennt haben.

Transkript
00:00Can I tell you something?
00:03We're getting a divorce, your mother and I.
00:06You think you're gonna be happy, you're alone?
00:08Who says I gotta be alone?
00:09Is there someone else?
00:10Not at the moment, but say, I got 30 good years left in me.
00:1430?
00:1520, 25.
00:16You'll be 110.
00:19Did you have a chance to look everything over yet?
00:21I'd just rather rip the band-aid off.
00:22Well, after 35 years, it doesn't feel so much like a band-aid as it does my own flesh.
00:27We can't break up together.
00:29Oh, I am just a vagabond.
00:33Hey, Dad.
00:36Where are you going?
00:37Tulum.
00:38Dad, we are going to Tulum this weekend for Nick's bachelor party.
00:41I didn't know you guys would be there.
00:42With everything that you're going through, you sort of present as, like, a bit needy.
00:48It's interesting.
00:50I don't see myself that way.
00:58What is going on?
00:59He told me he had a ticket.
01:00Why didn't you ask him to reschedule?
01:01I did, and he said that he would.
01:02You hear about the couple in their 90s that filed for divorce?
01:11My lawyer says to me, you're both in your 90s, why bother getting divorced?
01:15And they answer him, we were waiting for the kids to die.
01:23I think you got yourself a pretty solid cadre.
01:25This is still a bachelor party.
01:27This is not your daughter's quinceañera.
01:28Save Lowry.
01:29He's such an unpleasant, odd little man.
01:32Thea and I, we're breaking up.
01:35Hey, is this news to you guys?
01:37How many kids do you have, Peter?
01:39I have two boys.
01:40You?
01:41None.
01:42No kids.
01:43Never married.
01:44Nicely done.
01:45You know, as you guys get older, you're going to have to work harder to find time for each
01:52other.
01:54But it is well worth the effort.
02:00You guys hear about the couple in their 90s who got a divorce?
02:04They waited for the kids to die.
