Segel told Goldstein that they at least had to take the project to Ford first, thinking he would immediately turn it down, but at least other people would hear that Harrison Ford was offered the project, leading to interest from other notable actors. In the end, Goldstein spoke to Ford and sold him the role. Goldstein still didn’t understand what he had done to convince him, but he was elated nonetheless.
This is fun, pure and simple
Concisely written, great one-liners, enough pathos to stop it from becoming The Big Bang Theory for the middle class, it’s a joy to watch. Yes, real therapists wouldn’t behave like this, but anyone with a functioning brain cell would know that, so criticism from that perspective is just negativity to demean. Are some of the characters stereotypes?
Yes, but no offence is taken or should be taken
FYI, I worked with a gay guy who was exactly the stereotype portrayed here. The real success here is mixing the seriousness of therapy and grieving with the growing pains of life at different ages, stages and lifestyles and making it very funny. Finally, who knew what a good light comedy actor Harrison Ford is?
